Masters track jumps on Facebook bandwagon (barely)

Your kids use Facebook. Your neighbors use Facebook. All God’s chillin use Facebook, it seems. And now “master’s track.” Facebook — a social-networking site for students and adults — is the latest outpost for age-groupers. Check out this nascent page, brought to our attention by M40 middle-distance runner Mark Alexander of Seattle. Tiny by Facebook standards, the masters track page is just more evidence of our hunger to connect. (Masters Athlete Daily also has an “online community.”) Of course, that’s what this blog (and our related Forum) are all about. But Facebook has some tools we don’t, so good for them!
