How do I tweet my running accomplishments without sounding like an egotistical jerk?

Tweeting anything is egotistical. I don't care what you are doing right now or at any other time. No one does. Please get over yourself.

Today I ran 3 miles in one hour after a frigging 3 year injury, 6 months of very little running, and 3 weeks with the flu. I was mostly walking, obviously. Oh, wait, no, I ran 4 miles in 50 minutes . . . so much better! Yesterday was 3 miles in one hour but today my knee hurt less so I could actually run about half, I was getting them mixed up. Does anyone care??! I'm just kiddin'. I am sure if you have runner friends maybe that might help keep each other motivated. :)

Kip, is that you

What's your twitter name? I find it interesting to peek into the daily efforts of other runners regardless of their ability.

Just start the tweet by saying "Not trying to brag but..."

I gotta disagree. Twitter isn't a medium for only elite athletes. I guess you can also make an argument that elite runners shouldn't tweet either, because if their accomplishments are big enough they'll make it into Sports Illustrated. Otherwise, anyone who cares will have to figure out on their own what races they entered and what their results were.

Hahaha Sports Illustrated! That's a good one!

But OP, if you don't want to sound like "an egotistical jerk" you should probably just delete your Twitter account.

Let other men praise you.

you would do well to keep this in mind for life in general.

I wish this was true, but I've found in your professional life that you need to toot your own horn, or noone notices.

I dont think it's bad idea to tweet running performances or post them on facebook walls every once in awhile. dont tweet or facebook to the world though - just do it to your close friends...if it's an accomplishment or surprising performance you're proud of! dont do it too often but surely you can do it when something great happens

You're a f***ing idiot

Are you kip litton?
