Join the GRTC Group on Daily Mile!  It's fun and FREE!

Daily Mile (www.dailymile.com) has pioneered a new category of online running log.  At heart, Daily Mile is like a specialized version of Facebook for athletes.  It fits into the category of "social media" but, instead of sharing videos of pets & children, Daily Mile members share their daily runs and race plans.  (Click here for a general overview of Daily Mile in the Eclectic Runner Blog.)

One of the goals of the Club has long been to increase the social connection and camaraderie of members.  After a trial use of Daily Mile by the board of directors, we have created a Greater Rochester Track Club group to enable sharing of run and race experiences among interested GRTC members.

Benefits.  After you join the GRTC group on Daily Mile, you will be able to find other club members on the GRTC Group page.  You can select a member and go to the personal Profile page of the member and can comment on his/her workout log entries.  You will be able to send messages to other group members.  Members will also be able to post to a GRTC group discussion board.  The Group page includes a Leader Board listing the number of miles each member has run so far this week.  Club members can join the Daily Mile GRTC Group at any time and, did we mention, it’s FREE. 

How to Join.   It’s simple and will only take a few minutes. 

1.       Create a Daily Mile Account:  If you don’t already have an account on Daily Mile, go to www.dailymile.com and click on the “Sign Up Free” button.  Fill out the form.  You will need to provide a valid e-mail address.  After you complete the form, you will receive confirmation e-mail from Daily Mile.  Click on the link in the confirmation e-mail to activate your account.

Daily Mile Tips.  You can limit the e-mail notifications you receive, edit the items on your Profile page, change your password and make some minor privacy adjustments via the Settings menu.  You can “Friend” other runners so you can more easily share info with them.  Same as on Facebook, don’t post anything on Daily Mile that you wouldn’t want your mother to see.
