A #runchat sprint

“Don’t give up! U may have a craptastic run one day, then go out & the best run ever the very next day.”

“do it because you love it … the rest will fall in line.”

If you missed the first ever #runchat with me and Scott from iRunnerBlog last night, you missed out on some great conversations about running. Just a few days ago, I had this random idea of doing a chat on Twitter after I briefly took part in #fitblog, a chat about fitness that had a lot to do with running. And when I searched for a possible chat specifically geared toward running, I didn’t find one … fast forward a few hours and we had the chat planned for Thursday night.

I had no expectations. I figured a few comments would come through and maybe, just maybe, someone would want to do it again. But what I got was a wild ride and rediscovered how passionate runners are about racing, handing out advice and so much more. I’m still struggling to come up with the right words to describe how awesome it was.

So for everyone who took part in #runchat, I wanted to give a big THANK YOU for taking part. Last night was the first of what I hope are endless #runchat conversations. We’ll be back at 8 p.m. ET Thursday doing this again. I’m looking forward to asking new questions and continuing the running conversation.

Hooray! Thanks for hosting a great chat, David! Brilliant idea, and definitely learned lots of new things. Shamrock is looking quite feasible.

I wish I could have made it — looks like a great conversation from what I've read. I'm usually running or just finishing up at chat time, but hopefully one of these days I can sneak in late!

I'm really sorry I missed out on that, but I'm definitely game for the next one!
