Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky

I had planned to do a post about my training plan, but decided to pre-empt that post for a little half marathon blogroll.
Lately there seems to be a half marathon craze amongst bloggers. Everywhere I look is another blogger training for a half marathon. Or possibly I'm just paying more attention because I'm training for one too. Either way, I'm excited to be virtually training with so many of my blogger friends.
I thought it would be fun to put a list together of all the bloggers I know that are training for a half marathon. It seems everywhere I look bloggers are kicking butt and working hard to reach their goal of running 13.1 miles. My message to them: We got this!
Can I get a drum roll?
Brandon, who is kickin' butt over at So Long, Fat Ass will be tearing it up at the Skinny Raven Half Marathon August 15th.
Mike, who blogs about his running adventures over at Mike's Running Blog will be running the Run to the Rock September 11th.
Suzi, who blogs about her weight loss journey over at OK, Just One More Beer will be running the Rock & Roll Half Marathon in Philadelphia on September 19th.
ME. I, uh blog here and will be running the Crossroads marathon in Fort Collins Colorado September, 19th. And gotta say I'm more excited than when I trained for my marathon. Mostly because I know myself better from that experience.
Devon, who blogs about her running and more over at Run Sleep Rinse Repeat is training for three, that's right, three half marathons this fall!
Seth from over at Fit With a Purpose will be running the Roots 'N Blues Half Marathon in Columbia, MO October 2nd.
Shevanne, who blogs about her journey of weight loss, training, and shopping over at Pies & Miles is training to run the Nike Women's Half Marathon October 17th.
Jen, who's keepin' it real over at Jen in Real Life will be rockin' the Atlantic City Half Marathon on October 17th.
Heather, who is running and inspiring and in general hitting her stride over at Hitting My Stride will be running the Nike Women's Half Marathon with Team in Training on October 17th.
Callie, who blogs about her journey to a healthier lifestyle over at The Wannabe Athlete plans to run the Women's Running Half Marathon in St Petersburg on Nov. 21.
Carla, who is her own superhero (and many of ours too) over at MizFitOnline is headed to Vegas baby for the Rock & Roll Half Marathon December 5th...gotta say if I can at all figure out the $ I'll be there too!
Leah who is chief mom over at Bookieboo will be running the Rock & Roll Half Marathon in Vegas as well...too much awesomeness for one race, yes?
Dani who is just good people over at Mayorofthebux.com (in my humble opinion) is going to train for the Music City Half Marathon April 30, 2011. Another one I'd love to be at if I had the bucks!
Crazy, fun, inspiring, wonderful group we bloggy runners are, yes?
Go check out their blogs, cheer them on! I know that's nothing near a complete list, not to mention those like Steve and Jess who've recently done a half.
Are you training for a half...or any other race? Give yourself a shout out in the comments!
Also, I'm curious do you find it easier to train with friends/cheerleaders or alone?
I loooove the post and adore how you always take time to focus and cheer on others.
ReplyDelete(Ive met Steve in person and hes just as amazing as in print).
Miz.
I can't wait to see how we all do! totally wish you had the $$$ to fly out here for that. it would be an epic time.
ReplyDeleteI just found out that my cousin Todd is training for his first marathon coming up in October. You all amaze me! I wish I could be there at each and every finish line cheering you all on!!!
ReplyDeleteCrazy bloggy runner in the house... I'll be doing The Philadephia Half Marathon on Nov. 21. YIKES!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. I can't wait for my 1/2!! Best of luck to all of you with your training & your race!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteAll that runner made me tired. It makes me jealous and sad that I WILL NEVER be able to do a running marathon or even a walking one. I did do a 5K on my tricycle last month but that really does compare to all the hard work you guys have to go through. Go luck and keep training.
ReplyDeleteI myself am not, but my husband is running his first 1/2 on September 12. I'm planning to run a 10k on October 17 (not as exciting as a 1/2, but still pretty great...LOL).
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting this post together! I'm also working REALLY hard to try to go to the Vegas 1/2 marathon in December, and it's starting to look like it actually will happen!
ReplyDeleteI am training to run the Halloween Half on Oct. 30. We run through beautiful Sundance and Provo Canyon. It's my first one!

I wish I could join this prestigious list of inspiring people but I've already done my half and training for my full on 10/10/10.
ReplyDeleteI tried DM'ing you last week but it twitter refused..
ReplyDeleteI am doing my second full but am relatively new to this running thing.
Good luck, enjoy, have fun, rock on etc..
:)
I'm doing the Air Force half on September 18 and the Cincinnati Half Marathon on October 23.
ReplyDeleteI love training alone. I'm not social, and I hate waiting on others (to arrive, to run, ...).
I see all those other people and compare my running skills to theirs and think -- dang, I've got some way to go! Awesome list! Thanks for adding me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting this together! I'm really looking forward to my fall half marys!
ReplyDeleteMe me me! I'm training for the White Rock marathon (I'm doing the half) on December 5th. Woo Hoo!
