Running: Workout Logs + Racing + Social Networking
I’ve had the great fortune of meeting a handful of awesome friends on twitter who love to run races as much as I do. Since they are scattered all about the country, I try to keep up with who is going where in case they are doing a race I might be interested in so we can meet up. I also like having people in my life who will give the occasional virtual high five on a workout well done. I also love reading race reports (but not personal blogs – wayyyyy too many to keep up with – yeah I get the irony since I’m blogging about this so bear with me).
That being said I’ll be doing a few site evaluations on suggested sites popular sites and will be posting them here for your perusal. All will come with some pros+cons and maybe one that is suggested to me will be the end all be all and solve my twitter running posse predicament. I won’t do a full run down of ALL sites available online (come on now, I do have a life) but will try to pick 5 really competitive robust sites.
I’ll be posting my methodology and rating system/meaning used for the sites soon (once I figure out what those should be). Of course, they won’t be as sophisticated as any of the Wasserman methodologies but based on my own self-serving needs 
Here are the sites:
1. DailyMile – http://dailymile.com
2. Athlinks – http://athlinks.com
3. Livestrong – http://livestrong.com
4. Runningahead – http://runningahead.com
5. GoWagon – http://gowagon.com
If I miss any that you think are top strong contenders let me know. I’ll also be posting a list of all sites I’ve heard of from others in case you are interested. Bear in mind, I’m looking for social networking, training and RACING info heavy sites.
