Can Summer stop avid runners? NO! Your interesting and versatile blogs are still here and I we are happy to share four nominees with all of you!

The 4 Authors chosen for Running Author of the Week 22 are:

NOMINATED RUNNING AUTHORS AND RELATED POST

Hive account@wolfje: "Marathon Post 18"

^{We have another runner, who is preparing very diligently for his first marathon. Hive account@wolfje is covering 4 preparational runs of the previous week and he is very analytical and thorough about all aspects of training. Read this excellent post with a lot of photos, recaps and insights!}

Hive account@marenontherun: ''Vertical run''

^{Hive account@marenontherun starts her epic blog with these words:"Last weekend I was in Northern Norway where there is only one way to run: Up!" Why epic? Well: the views and the run uphill in cold and muddy trail, the photos... All of it has epic component! Just to mention: elevation gain of the trail was almost 400 meters!}

Hive account@harryp3: ''🏃 Race For Men Salisbury Half Marathon [2:02:03] | #runningproject #runforsteem''

^{Blog about Hive account@harryp3's first race. It was half-marathon. What we liked (in addition to fully covered details about the race route and statistics and so on) is his analyses of how race is not reflecting his actual fitness. This is often true for many of us. Races are very different than training runs... Last but not least: BIG CONGRATS for your first half-marathon on behalf of Hive account@runningproject!!!}

Hive account@tootfasteddie: ''Barefoot short run''

^{Let me conclude this nomination post with funny story about unintentional bare-foot running :) Hive account@toofasteddie was looking forward for his run so much that in a hurry (too fast, Eddie!) he forgot one... well, rather essential part of running gear: the running shoes. But he did not quit... read about it!}

NOW IS YOUR TURN!!!

If you like this post, please, give a good upvote first and resteem it if possible in order to increase the number of views.
Then, have a view of the nominated runners and selected posts and upvote and resteem those too if you like them.
Put a comment writing which has been your preferred author and you can add why if you want.
You can vote until the end of Friday, 29th of June and we will announce the winner on Saturday the 30th of June.

Anyone can participate in this! You can vote even if you are not approved runner of the Hive account@runningproject.

But if you do run, you can do both: you can vote and become approved runner… read on!

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 Hive account@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 Hive account@runningproject announcing the winner on following Saturday.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED and BECOME an "Approved" Runner of Hive account@runningproject?

The main milestone of the Hive account@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 Hive account@runningproject.

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

Write a comment in this post or any other from Hive account@runningproject with a link to one of your posts about running, requesting its review.
After checking your post, Hive account@runningproject will decide if you are or are not an "Approved" Runner. "Low quality" post will not be considered.
If you are definitely an "Approved" Runner, Hive account@runningproject will reply to you asking to send 1SBD or 1STEEM as an "Enrollment Fee."
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.
