This is My 200th Blog Post in 16 Months

This is the 200th blog post that I've made in the past 16 months. It was in June 2016 when I decided to start blogging again after a 5-year absence. I had blogged regularly from 2006 through 2011 as I did various mega-mileage running adventures. Writing about running, bicycling and other fitness topics has been something I enjoy, and I'll continue to write as I feel compelled. If you've followed this blog for any amount of time, you've probably seen that I don't post every day, and I don't post at all on weekends. I do try to post something weekly, at minimum.

It always amazes me how many people access my blog from various countries. Just in the past week I've had readers from the USA, Russia, Canada, Poland, Ukraine, France, Portugal, Thailand, and Brazil. My most popular blog post in the past 16 months has been "I'm Officially Retired From Running Across States and Countries."

I apply keyword tags to each blog post so that search engines can catalog my writings. Each day there are readers to my blog who locate it through a search engine when doing a health/fitness query. My blog is a voluntary effort and one that I hope benefits others.

To those who stop by my blog now and then to read, I say thank you!

This Blog's Global Audience: 16 Countries In The Past Few Weeks!

I dusted off this blog a couple of months ago (in June) and have made 50 posts since then. I had taken about five years off from blogging and decided to see if there would be any interest in my writings if I were to start again. Looking at the visitor statistics for this blog, I can tell you that the readership is global and frequent. Just in the past few weeks I've had readers from the United States, China, Portugal, Germany, France, Latvia, Sweden, Romania, United Kingdom, Philippines, Australia, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, Canada, and Ireland. Of course, my blog has a translation tool to turn my English text into whatever language the reader prefers. That definitely helps to increase my audience.

Some blog posts are more popular than others. So far, my most read blog post has been "Only 9 States Require Providing Recess." This could be because in many locations the new school year is beginning. I'm encouraged by the readership numbers I'm seeing and will continue to write on this blog. I may not post daily, but I will post frequently. Thank you for reading! I appreciate it!
