Being both a new runner and a new RA member (okay...refugee..) can I just say that I love the attitude and friendliness on this board. I can tell you guys have worked hard to maintain an amazing atmosphere and I hope that us CRers can only add to that. On that note, I can't cook at all, so.... *brings the store bought rolls*

He taught me to run high on my toes. I will always remember his words: run proud and remember you are alive.

I didn't post on CR forums, but I may be more active here. I'm grateful to have found the site. RA sounds really cool, like my old running club, Burnham Joggers. There were 4-minute milers, 2:20 marathoners, 9-minute milers, 6-hour marathoners and 60-year-old beginners. I hope I've found a home. Blush

Sorry I'm late to dinner, I was out running. Good to see nobody is throwing food yet (but, my bet is on Trent being the first to do so). Welcome, to all the newcomers. As many have said before me, please make your logs and profiles public so that we can get to know you better. Oh, and take your shoes off at the door. This place gets dirty enough with all the sweaty running clothes strewn all over the place. Can somebody pass the buffalo wings and ranch dressing? (Thanksgiving is over, and Christmas isn't here quite yet, so I don't know why you're all eating all this fancy stuff.)

A lot of pressure in the middle of those shoulders / And we ain't gettin nothing but older / Ain't nothing change but the day we run from / But nobody knows that better than you,huh

*tenative knock on the door - enters holding a glass baking dish* Hi everyone. I'm not technically a refugee, as I've never used the CR boards - I just mooched off the log there. My primary running home is the Dead Runners Society. Regardless, there's a really nice vibe here, and I love the message board interface, so I'm going to stick around for a while. In the meantime, here's some of my mom's astoundingly good Apple Crisp Smile

Hi, I'm another "refugee" and darn glad to be here. The RA folks have been warm and welcoming. I hope that the culture of RA remains intact. . . I am not a fan of cliques or running snobs. Here, we are all runners whether we're elite or clydesdale or somewhere in between. We have to stick together and uplift one another. That way when the non-runners tell us we're wacky for what we do at least we can know we're in wacky good company! Now, pass the Mexican spoon bread, please!

My sport is your sport's punishment!

You know rvelich, I know of one marathon where the RD personally home bakes loads of pumpkin pies for the runners and volunteers.

Hmmm... you're hittin' my weak spot, Trent... food! Heh! I don't even know if I could walk, let alone run, your little roller coaster marathon down there. I live, and subsequently run, in what was flat swamp lands after the ice age until we invented asphalt. I think the only way I could run your marathon is if I did it in "Heelies" so I could coast on the downhills and then crawl up the hills. Guess I'd need some kneepads and padded gloves as well. Big grin

I suppose I could always volunteer though for a piece of home baked pumpkin pie.

Yeah, I know. I have a short attention span. Blush

On that note. I think I'm due for at least one more before Christmas. Roll eyes
