A little while ago, I wrote about my hashtag, #yegruns and today I’m thinking that it’s about time to retire it. It was more work that it was worth to get it to be used by anyone and for a while, we had a couple of users, but that stopped over the summer. In that previous post, I had mentioned the Nike Sportband. I’ve finally found one and now that I’ve got everything set up, I’m just waiting for my next chance to run. Not only am I pumped to find out “in real time” how my runs are going (metrics make everything fun don’t they), I also get access to the resource that I was trying to build in Twitter. I should have figured that my “free” efforts were not going to go as far (one doesn’t often respect that which is free) as a paid solution that is “backed”. But that being said, it was certainly a way to find others while it lasted and I’m sure that I’ll find others through this system as well and I’ll certainly enjoy the world-wide races, my first being Sept 24th, a 10k.
I’m hoping to get my first run in tomorrow and hopefully it will update the widgets I’ve got installed on both blogs in addition to posting to Twitter and Facebook.
