Welcome to the ItsMyRun.com newsletter issue #3! It has been a long time since the last newsletter.

The Spring race season is in full swing already, the temperatures are perfect for running and there is no need for extra layers anymore, thank goodness!!.

Thanks to everyone that has sent me feedback, comments and bug reports about the site, it all helps to make the site more useful and accurate. Keep them coming.

BTW I just realized that email notification hasn't been working (feedback notification, membership welcome, password reminder, contact me), that should all be good now. Sorry. So if you didn't get a reply from someone you sent a message to it wasn't because they were ignoring you ;-)

The last newsletter was January 2008, so I guess I'm really holding up word about keeping these newletters very infrequent. However there have been many changes since then, I hope I can remember them all.

Mobile ItsMyRun.com

• m.itsmyrun.com
• A mini IMR version to view on your Blackberry or any mobile device web browser, you can see who has recently updated their records
• If this becomes popular I may try ading some other mobile functionality

Miles now accepted!!

• For all the imperial fans, I've added the ability to indicate runs/races that were calcualted using Miles
• There is a setting in your user profile to indicate your default (Kilometers or Miles) then you don't need to change the drop down to Miles from Kilometers for each run you enter.
• Everyone is defaulted to KM unless otherwise indicated in your Profile
• You can't switch the display from Miles to KM on the fly, not yet, I'm not sure it is needed, or just a nice to have

Recent Smaller Updates

• Displaying accrued distance in you Run Log
• I'm working on a new shortened link that you can use to share your results on forums like RunningMania.com. http://itsmyrun.com/CI/races/view/Robbie-T for example My Race Results . Just replace my username with yours. This is a bit neater and takes up less space. It is still under development but you can start using it now if you like and I'll update everyone if it changes.
• I'm sure there are a hundred other little things but those are the more interesting ones

Anyone that hasn't been to the site for a while, come on back and see what's new.

If you are interested in promoting anything running related let me know, I've had an idea of setting up a page to post news and events, kind of like a user bulletin board.

One other idea I've had is a FB rip-off, how about a "great run" status like Facebook's "i like this". An easy way to give simple feedback and encouragement to fellow runners about their posted runs or races

Well my friends, thank you again for your time, please feel free to forward me any comments, feedback or whatever you have.
