OK, I just thought I'd see if I could rustle up some Cool Running refugee 40-somethings over here, or anyone else who likes to talk about running into your 40s and beyond!

 I meet the criteria of both the refugee and over 40 something! I am newly back to running so I am trying to work up to some mileage! |

I was a cool running lurker. I really enjoyed the info on the message boards. I am going to miss CR. Oh, by the way, over 40 too. I've been running only a few months. I am following the MAF training and was an avide follower on the CR board. I really hope more of them come over here.

Heigh their, R2, yes, much better here. Easy to use and USEFUL features. Active is a bloated pig and the log doesn't seem to have been created by runners.
Plus I'm miffed because all my data seems to be gone, and I can't get back into CR to get it myself. *grumble*

I started out on Cool Running about three years ago but I moved here last summer because I like the log better. So, I'm 40-something and an early-adopter refugee. Does that count? 
So, how's the running going? Don't let the Cool Running/Active thing distract you from what matters. I did a short run in the pouring rain over my lunch hour today. It was refreshing... or something. Well, it got me out of work for a while and I live in Oregon, so the rain isn't a huge surprise. It's usually more like mist and less like huge buckets of water being thrown at my head though. |

Another over-40, here. I was just getting used to CR when the buyout was announced. Being prudent by nature, I checked out other sites and quickly put my log up here. I'm also a newbie runner. Started about a month ago. So far, I only have one type of run: short  .
So I no longer consider myself a "CR refugee", but a full member here at Running Ahead. I also agree we should put the death of CR behind us and concentrate on what brought us here: running! |

I'm from CR also, and am ready to make this my home too. I absolutely hate the Active site, and almost never found the CR forum....found it after about 30 minutes of looking, accidentally. And I can't get on Kick Runners period. Look forward to visiting and posting here at RA.

Well, great, maybe this group will be bigger and better than ever. There are a few more 40s over there who said they'll be checking in here.
My CR log is still in limbo, I sure wish I'd downloaded it myself. It's been over 36 hrs since I "merged" it over to Active, and there's no sign of it. That was about 18 months of good data. If it ever appears I'm going to have to re-enter it by hand and rescue it!

Oh - This is my first post over here, and already I can still that I'll be giving Active the finger - and soon! I will definitely be encouraging our other 40's posters to follow. Thanks, Arla!
Unfortunately, it looks like my log has been lost to the great unknown. Thankfully, all my runs, except maybe 3 or 4, are on my Garmin, and I'll just have to estimate the miles on my shoes. I was able to download my log to my computer yesterday, but it's in some format that my spreadsheet program won't recognize. To find your CR log, go to the home page of this site, scroll part way down, and there are two links that send you to a thread at Active with specific directions. I followed the second link and the directions in that thread, and it let me in the back door somehow and allowed me to download my log. Don't know how long the Active people will let that go on.
Today was a rest day for me, which is good 'cause my hips are really bothering me today. Oh well. I'll sooth things over tonight with girls' night out at the local tepanyaki bar!
Nice to see all the new faces! |
