Thanks for the quick response MichaelH.
The only thing with having a static front page and a separate blog page is that I can’t post to both, at least that’s the way I understand it. I just wanted to be able to keep my running posts separate so they wouldn’t clog up so much space but still be able to “post” to that category so it shows up on my new page, only filtered to that category.
That’s they way I came across the most when I looked into blogging on multiple pages.
