I hope you are not superstitious... it is the 13th consecutive week we are choosing our Running Author of the Week! I think this might be a sign of luck ;)

So hello all to the 13th edition of VOTE YOUR RUNNING AUTHOR OF THE WEEK 13!!!

We are getting new runners on weekly bases and we try to include them here in this nomination, so other approved runners can get to know them better. But we also try not to forget about "old" members of @runningproject... So here you will find a nice mixture of excellent, interesting and funny running posts...

REMINDER ON HOW THE CONTEST WORKS:

Readers of the post will vote which is the Running Author of the week, who will be awarded with the part of the earnings of the same report.

• The main criteria we use in order to nominate the candidates is the Quality and Originality of the Post, but nevertheless we will try to choose also posts done by Approved Runners which visibility is low due to, either, they are newcomers to the STEEM ecosystem and to the @runningproject initiative or, also authors that have not been nominated before or have been nominated, but we feel, they should be nominated again!

• The ''Running Authors'' will be awarded with a portion of the 50% of the SBD earned on this post approximately after one week of its publication, so all of them will be rewarded but just one will be the ''Author of the week''.

• The prize will be split as follows:

      ''Author of the week'': 70% 
      ''Consolation Prize'': 30% divided among the other authors.
  

A dedicated post will be published by @runningproject announcing the winner on following Saturday.

NOMINATED RUNNING AUTHORS AND RELATED POST

@technerd888 : ''Run Journal # 4 - April 20, 2018''

^{What a lovely approach to the description of running trainings! Best if we just use the description of this journal as prepared by the author: "This is a run series journal that I aim to update regularly. My objective for posting is to give myself a check and hopefully implant the discipline of being consistent with my fitness plan into my system. I invite everyone who comes across this journal to also adopt a healthier lifestyle and be more active and fit. Your fitness goals may not be the same as mine, but let's try to achieve our goals together."}

@chelsea88: ''Long Runs Provide Clarity - 11.15 miles complete! #runningproject"

^{@chelsea is on her way to half-marathon. Int his particular blog we can read about how training for half-marathon is going to attend. What we liked is part where @chelsea goes through the thinking process that we runners all go through prior our races. A few words regarding last preparations, training, target pace etc. Fingers crossed that the race goes well, @chelsea88!!}

@argon: '' My Running Log 2018-04-21 <30K under the clean and sunny sky>　ランニング記録2018-04-21 <快晴の空のもと30K>''

^{It is time to put on nomination list also somebody, who runs and posts in @runningproject since it's beginning. @argon is one of our fastest and most diligent runners. We have to mention that he is very modest and is describing long fast runs as relaxed ones... He really works hard (this post describes 31 km run) and he posts about regularly in details and we strongly believe that he is well deserved 3rd candidate of this week.}

@rungirlsf: ''Throwback 22 miler.. cause now I'm one week out!''

^{@rungirlsf prepared very easy to read and funny blog! It is on how @rungirlsf trains and on how training does not always go as planned and how we still go on and adapt and improvise. Witty and we loved it!}

HOW TO GET INVOLVED and BECOME an "Approved" Runner

The main milestone of the @runningproject now is to get as much STEEMPOWER as possible so the UPVOTE power will be growing day by day with the entrance of new members as well as because of the reinvestment of all the curation and the majority of the earnings produced on the post published by @runningproject.

In order to get enrolled you just need to do the following steps:

1. Write a comment in this post or any other from @runningproject with a link to one of your posts about running, requesting its review.

2. After checking your post, @runningproject will decide if you are or are not an "Approved" Runner. "Low quality" post will not be considered.

3. If you are definitely an "Approved" Runner, @runningproject will reply to you asking to send 1SBD or 1STEEM as an "Enrollment Fee."

4. You will be included in the "CURATION LIST"

The initial "Enrollment Fee" is entirely used as STEEM POWER. This fee, 1 SDB/STEEM, may increase in the future depending on the number of members and Market price.
Additional donations will be also fully invested in STEEM POWER.
