I use twitter which updated my facebook status, and I tweet the results of almost every run I do. Before I had my Garmin 405cx watch I would just record the time and distance(which I measured in the beginning by driving my car around the block, and then I found mapmyrun.com thanks to my brother-in-law J.. But either way I'd like to show you the tweets from February and how they compare to the past couple of weeks.. I think the improvement is staggering, but that's just me
This is my first official 5k distance run without stopping
This is my PR(Personal Record) which I ran last tuesday
This was the first time I ran 5 miles and thought I was going to die
This is my new PR for the 5 mile
That's a almost a 9 minute improvement for both distances in just about 2 months... Man there's a lot of potential here.
I'm sorry if it seems I'm being egotistical, I'm not trying to be.. One of the main reasons I update so often is because I know that the more people that know I'm doing this means the more people that will hold me accountable, whether verbally or non-verbally. If you're annoyed with my constant updates, that's fine, I can't be offended, so hide me.. I might get annoyed if I saw so many run updates too.
Either way, thank you for holding me accountable.. Tomorrow I'll post some short term, long term and ongoing goals in my running future. ok bye.

Honestly, seeing your updates actually inspires me. I was running in summer 2009 and it felt great. I've stopped since, but I think I'm closer to starting again than ever before (I know, that doesn't say much!). Saw your story through SYM. Congrats, good job, and keep it up!
:o)
