Annual Forum Awards (Read 2011 times)

It is been fun to watch this forum grow over the past year or so. There is certainly a wide range of talent amongst the herd--running, writing, whining, whatever. At any rate, I thought it might be at least mildly entertaining, as we approach year-end, to institute some annual awards. Such awards could be in a host of categories: Most improved runner Best running reports Best general reports Most races run during the year Most inspirational Longest race (ok, ok--Lynn wins already) Most mileage on a pair of running shoes still in circulation Most training miles on a treadmill Best avatar etc, etc, etc. If you are interested, send me your nominations--and feel free to make up others. You can, of course, nominate yourself (which you'd probably have to do for miles on shoes, treadmill, etc). If there is an interest, you can e-mail me at summerlinrunner@gmail.com. If there is an interest, I'll post updates (no names until final tally) on some of the categories (most miles on shoes, most races, etc) so you'll know whether you are in the "running" and should submit your stats. Anyway--let me know. And, if you think the idea sucks--well, keep it to yourself. I can only handle so much rejection in my life.

sounds like a great idea...as if i needed anymore excuses to spend more time on this site..

It's a fab idea! Without trying to bias the categories...if you were already thinking of female with the largest feet/smallest breasts or member with the longest named rare blood disorder - I think I am in with a shot. Failing that I'll be looking for a better avatar. Claire xxx

Best web-host Best running-log creator Most generous web-designer Most bugs I mean features found Best race host Best pumpkin pie baker Slowest 5K\Marathon Shortest Run Best excuse Most time wasted on RA Latest post. Or maybe post closest to required wakey wakey time.

Are you sure ;-p?

This idea does suck ...

Let not your heart be troubled, my fellow former Marine. You have actually been nominated for a couple of awards . And no, the nominees will not know who the nominators are. I have no doubt you find the entire idea somewhat less than thrilling. But, apparently those that nominated you don't care .

And no, the nominees will not know who the nominators are.

In that case, I've got a few more for you...

Great idea!! What were your thoughts in regards those of us who are other than runners ( cyclists, etc.)
