Greetings From Ohio
Spending part of the week in Cleveland where I'm seeing the next Philly snow tonight. It's a nice city for running along the lake but not so much in winter when the wind is a tad less pleasant.
Group Event?
We had two group runs in December that were well attended and fun. Any thoughts about when and where we might do another? While the weather can be dicey at this time of year, there are fewer competing races which is a benefit. Either leave a comment of send me an e-mail at bill.tuszynski@gmail.com.
Volunteering
If you're taking a break from racing or coming back from an injury, take the time to volunteer at a race. It is a fun experience to see the runners who are normally way in front of you, cheer for your friends and gives an alternative perspective on races. As a race director I can tell you how much you appreciate having a helper who has a clue about what is supposed to happen in a race. Registration, key intersections and water stops are areas where it's a great help to have experienced volunteers. You just might even get lucky enough to work an "alternative beverage" stop.
Our Overseas Visitors
We get a sprinkling of overseas visitors to the blog, hopefully most if not all fellow runners. We'd love to get your comments as to how the running community is organized in other countries. How often are there races? What are the favorite distances? Are there many local running clubs and how are they set up? Share your experiences as it will be a fun comparison. we're very fortunate in Eastern Pennsylvania where we have a very active road and trail running network with races of every possible length and format every weekend.
