DailyMile and Twitter has transformed me as a runner. Prior to using them, my private, solo-minded training was minimal and lacking. I had no one to motivate me or support my running life. Seeing workouts posted by other runners, and socially (but virtually) interacting with them has helped me a lot. My online running friends give me great support during training for an event. I now go into a race feeling that others are expecting me to do well. It's a cool feeling to have. Sorry I missed you at the 2009 National Marathon. There will be other races for us to meet. For now, our friendship will remain virtual. :-P BTW, I was the one who @replied to you on Twitter about DailyMile. You owe me! ;-) I agree 100% with your article.

I am so motivated by others and believe that I can motivate others too through these resources. :) PS Sorry about the NYM. :( I totally agree with you!
