Well, we're starting out on a whole new year, a whole new millenium. I want to thank everybody who has been coming out to run with us, whether on a consistent basis, or occasionally. Either way, we want you to continue.
Also, special thanks to everyone who attended the Board Meeting last month. We had a really good turnout and a good time at Coachs. In fact, we decided that we would make it a habit. The last Wednesday of every month, we are going to adjourn to Coachs for our post-run food and spirits (good AND liquid!).
The main reason for this (slight) change is that there had been some complaints that we always run the same course and also meet at Limerick's. We decided that it would be a bad move at this point to switch our meeting place, as we would hate to discourage new runners from just showing up; however, I extend an open invitation for any runners to develop a new (and SAFE) 5-mile course, so that we might have some variety.
If you want any further information about the meeting, see Emmett for the minutes.
I also wanted to remind everyone about the yearly membership dues - $25. In case you don't remember, this covers insurance, a club T-shirt, club activities, and advertising. You don't HAVE to be a member to run with us, but we love to have the support. Also, remember if you recruit a new paying member, you receive a rebate of $2.50 per person!
Finally, on a personal note, I just wanted to let you all know that my rehabilitation is coming along nicely. Just seeing all of you out there running is motivation enough to hasten my recovery. I hope to be out running with you all in 3 months! (Boy, that sounds like a long time.)
