Timo - Excellent article and analogy. I am also into running (completed my first marathon in Chicago couple of years ago) and gearing for second one in October) and feel the same way. I think starting and running any small business, not just blog, is lot more like running a marathon. It's a long, arduous process that requires planning and long, hard preparation, but the joy at the finish line more than makes up for it.

Thank you :)

You are so right! It definitely requires some persistence, but those who are willing to take the challenge (and stick around enough) are going to be successful ones.

Cheers,

Timo

Timo: Is it is OK if I am doing a power-walk instead of a running a marathon? I have been blogging for 11 years, so I am in it for the long run. I have been thinking of taking a long break from my blogging now and then during the years, but I have always coming back on track. The good thing is that you could create blog content in many different ways nowadays: text, pictures, sound, video, etc.

Thanks for an inspiring post! I want to conduct an interview with you someday...

Hi Lyceum!

Power-walk is fine :)

11 years - wow, that's awesome! And yes, I'd love to be interviewed :)

Cheers,
