That would be the likely result for me if I tried to go vegan :)

I have been reading both Runblogger and No Meat Athlete for a couple of years now. It is good to see that you guys "found" each other. I see a lot of similarities in your sites, such as positivity, not talking down to your readers, fact-based analyses, and striving to keep things fresh and interesting.

I look forward to more great posts on both sites!

It makes me happy that other independent running bloggers are finding success and making a living out of this. In addition to me and Matt, you have folks like Bryon at IRunFar, Jason at Strength Running, etc. Thanks for supporting us Christian!

Really appreciate your posting this, Peter. As I look at your own story of deciding to pursue blogging (along with other running-related ventures), I see that your decision is a lot tougher than mine was! I only had to leave grad school (something I could do in phases, from full-time to part-time), not a tenured professor position! But the reasons are the same, of course.

Congratulations on making the decision do what you love. Let me know if you want to trade guest posts or chat anytime ... I love talking about this stuff!

I suppose that great minds think alike, boys ;)

Since I am a vegetarian, minimalist runner, both of your blogs serves to inspire and push me further as a runner. Next goal: Ultra distances! Good to have you here (almost) full time soon, Pete!

I like that the related vegan post I see on this post is accompanied by a giant red Fart Alert button. :)

Positivity is something I strive for, I hate the petty bickering that occurs on a lot of sites and forums, particularly when it comes to footwear debates :)
