Tweeting Runners

January 25, 2011 · general

Are you on Twitter?

I am. Some of you are not because you simply feel you cannot add another social media site to your life. I totally get that.

Still. I love Twitter.

I don’t Tweet nearly enough. (Or, as one of us at our little bloggy meet-up Thursday thought it was called, “tw@t.” I won’t tell who, but it wasn’t Malibu Barbie.) Anyway, I always forget.

But I love heading to Twitter for inspiration. Or to just jump in the middle of someone’s conversation. Or to post my posts or random thoughts. It’s great. Here’s a list of some of the runners I follow (sorry if I miss anyone — please leave your Twitter name in the comments if I missed you!):

I know I’m forgetting so many people! Help me fill in the list!

The other cool thing you can do on Twitter is narrow down the conversations so you are only seeing ones about running. Just search #running or #momsrunning or #rlam. And #runchat is another good one.

If you’re already on Twitter, look me up @momvsmarathon!

Sometimes I wish I could just redirect my blog to my Twitter. It would just work better that way…

Thanks for the shout-out to #runchat. I (@RunningBecause) co-moderate it twice a month (2nd/4th Sundays) with @iRunnerBlog, but I am enjoying seeing people use the tag every day to talk about running.

Thanks for shout-out, Kerrie! You might also want to follow @DimityontheRun, my co-author. I'm contemplating 30-Day Shred. Tough, though!

You probably missed me because I just don't tweet enough and you forget I am there, or you are just annoyed enough you try to forget I am there, I really don't want to know which one either :)I am @virtual4now on twitter.I won't try to hijack your post by posting a link, but if others are looking for some twitter runners to follow I put up a post like this on my blog a couple years back and it is a great place to find some runners that tweet. This will no doubt fall into the same category I am sure.Now, I would go tweet…. but I am going to watch a movie. 🙂
