Hi Runners,
We're working on the next issue of the RCR newsletter and need your input/help on a few things:
1. RACE RESULTS
I started to compile a list of race results but I'd like to make sure that my information is accurate, and that I've accounted for every RCR member and every race that members participated in this season. For those of you who've raced this past season, can you send me a list of your races as well as any pertinent info (race time, PR, a first 10K, age division winner, etc.)?
2. RACE SCRAPBOOK
If you have photos from any of this season's races that you'd like to share, please email them to me, along with race information and name of photographer (if it was not you). I won't be able to use all photos, but I would like to feature an array of them.
3. UPCOMING RACES
Are you signed up for a race between November and February? Let's get the word out in the newsletter.
I know some of you have races during the latter part of October and I'd like to get that information in the newsletter as well. Depending on our actual publication date, we can include either your race results or your race plans for October. I got the information below from the website. I'm sure a few of you have other races planned, including the PenBay YMCA Turkey Trot on November 29.
- Lloyd B. will be running in the Mount Desert Island Marathon in Bar Harbor on October 19.
- Bonnie W. will be running in the Bay State Marathon in Lowell, Mass. on October 19.
- Paula L. will be running in the New York City Marathon on November 2.
4. BULLETIN BOARD
We are starting a bulletin board feature in this newsletter. If you're looking for a running partner in Rockland, if you want to start a relay team for a specific race, or if you are new to an area and want to know about some safe running routes, this is a tool you can use, especially if you do not frequent the online forum. If you have a post you'd like to make to the board, email me.
5. FIRST TIME MARATHONERS
Did you run your first marathon this season? If so, let's hear about it. I've already got a couple of runners contributing write-ups of their experiences.
Thanks everyone! I'm looking forward to hearing from you! If you have something else you'd like to contribute to the newsletter (an essay or article), email me.
Sincerely,
Irene
