Running and Social Media

Thanks for the warm welcome back and the great feedback on weight loss and sleep.  I have decided to keep a sleep log until I get a regular sleep schedule under wraps. 

Now that I am back trying to keep my blog more updated,  I thought I would ask your opinion about social media and running.

I find it very motivating to read all of your blogs.  You all inspire me daily with your great posts, helpful tips and race recaps.  I am exclusively a blogger and I have a facebook account.  Although I have a twitter and daily mile account,  I have yet to use them.  I still find it most comforting and time effective to use a spreadsheet to track my workouts.   In fact in case you are interested there is there is a fabulous running spreadsheet download here.  Old school, I know...

I do find that sometimes social media can leave me feeling a little exposed,  but I know so many of you use other forms of social media for information and inspiration for your training.

So knowing that I am very late to the party on this one,  which forms of social media do you embrace or shy away from?  Twitter?  Daily Mile?  Others?    Have these helped motivate you with your training and connect with other runners?

Any recommendations? 

Thanks for reading!
