Are you blogging?

We want you to share your blogs about the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k on our Facebook page. We know many of you blog about your experience because we have seen your posts in past years on your blog sites. Your stories about your personal journey can provide motivation to someone else looking for that little bit of extra inspiration. We will link our Facebook page to your blog site. We want our Facebook page to be the center of the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k blogosphere.

We are looking for stories about preparing for the 10k. Maybe you are losing weight and are keeping track of your journey. Or, you are just starting to run after not being physically active for the past ten years. Perhaps, you are coaching a group of friends from church to run their first 10k. You never know who can be inspired by your story, so we want to help spread the word about your blog.

Many of you have decided to raise funds for the Massey Cancer Center and will be writing about the process. Sharing this information might motivate others to raise funds or simply to give a donation to Massey. Others might have a hard time articulating what they are feeling about their battle with cancer, but you might have the time and skill to bring their thoughts to life.

We, of course, reserve the right to make sure the content is about the 10k. We don’t mind slight detours, but ultimately we are not looking to read about your recent tacky light tour -- unless you were running around the neighborhood to see the lights.

So let’s get started. It’s time to start blogging about the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k. If you are blogging about the 10k in any fashion, let us know by sending an e-mail to info@sportsbackers.org or posting a link on our Facebook fan page. We'll list it as one of our favorite blogs, which will hopefully help drive traffic to your blog as well as provide interesting content to our other participants.
