I have a new requirement of the RMEC members. It is an easy one, but one I hope each of you will take the time to do. I want to get at least one race report from each of you in 2009.
I try to keep the blog interesting and updated with race results, but after three years of doing it, I know it can get rather boring to read. There are only so many ways for me to write someone's time and place and have it still sound interesting. I want to hear a brief race recap in your words. It can be just a paragraph telling about your last 5k and how good the doughnuts were at the finish. . . or how you almost drown during your last tri. . . or it could be a mile-by-mile break down of the marathon you just finished.
Good or bad, RMEC members want to read about your experiences. Your stories are what keeps us motivated. We always share them when we are doing a group run, but that means only a few people hear it. Share it with the entire group! Take 10 minutes and write something. You don't have to do this after every race (but are welcome to), but I do want you to do it at least once. Seriously, help me out with this.
The Raleigh Running Outfitters team has lots of race reports on their team site, and they are fun to read. I am only used to experiencing a race from my perspective. Seeing it through someone else's eyes is exciting reading for everyone. After your next race type up an email and send it to me for posting. You don't need to be a writer to send something in. If you read my own posts I prove that every day!
