Social Media Runner

I applied to be a Social Media runner for the Cherry Blossom 10 miler. 

In my application I wrote: 

I am extremely passionate about social media, especially twitter and tumblr. Social Media helps keep me accountable as a runner and also it’s a way to motivate and be motivated by other active friends.  I ran my first Marathon in 2012 in Los Angeles for the Charity Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure. I created a special twitter account for that race @JennMarathon and live tweeted WHILE running the race. I was able to raise more money while tweeting and also get continuous support from my friends and followers during the race. I would be more than ready and willing to live tweet the Cherry Blossom 10 miler this year. I really enjoyed my first Credit Union Cherry Blossom Race last year as new resident to the DMV and I’ve really fallen in love with the running community here and I already tell my current friends and followers all about it so it’d be cool to have a larger reach through being a Social Media Runner. 

Our two selected “Social Runners” must agree to the following:

This is so up my alley!!! Wish Me Luck!!
