Blog Of The Day Awards: Cymru The Welshman
Not sure how or why, but I just noticed I’ve been nominated for a Blog Of The Day Award.
Every day in my gmail box I recieve a blog alert based on the keyword “cymru“. You can imagine how surprised I was when I read the third listing of the alert - Cymru The Welshman!
This was the text in the body of the post:
“Blog of the Day Awards for Friday August 3, 2007
A Blog of the Day Award goes to Cymru The Welshman
Marathon runner, triathlete, Mini Cooper driver, and passionate Welshman”
In the footer area of the blog I found this:
“Best Blog Awards
Blog of the Day Awards offers the best selection of weblogs and famous blogs on a variety of topics. Selection of Best Blogs of the Day is usually done a few days ahead of time based on nominations up to that point. Criteria include content, quality, creativity, and the personal opinion of the judges. Judges grant up to four awards each day in recognition of outstanding nominees who are recommended by visitors to the site and by a panel of judges who bestow the honor of a Daily Blog Award upon the recipients. Being named a Blog of the Day Awards Winner can be the crowning achievement of a lifetime of work or it can be the beginning of a new chapter in the life of a blogger. Presentation of these awards can bring acclaim and notoriety beyond their wildest imaginings. The accolades and praise heaped upon winners of these prestigious awards can be best described as fabulous and the stuff of legends. We don’t care what blog hosting platform your weblog is hosted on. We want the best blogspot blogs, the best wordpress blogs, the best typepad blogs and so forth. If you know a weblog that should be nominated for these Daily Weblog Awards or if your own blog seems to be a likely candidate for the prize, nominate it by submitting a comment to the most recent award post.
Thank you,
Blog of the Day Awards Judges and Staff”
So, whoever nominated me for the award, thanks so much! A total surprise and a great end to a successful blogging week!

Thanks Claudio,
The logos are all for different events. The lighthouse one is for a duathlon (run/bike/run) and a 10 mile race in November…
