40s on the run - running away from Active.com (Read 1685 times)

Okay -- I followed you all over here too! Kind of avoided CR for a week or so, would check in every now & then, but it just wasn't FRIENDLY! But this sure is...actually printed out the past few months of my log from CR as I couldn't quite figure out how to import here...but just started over here from the first of this month & now I'm on a roll...looking forward to keeping up with all you guys. 45, female & loving the running -- committed to making it through this winter!

Hopefully we have not stepped on too many toes here

...we have tough toes here, hope you all find it meets your needs. Sorry your old virtual neighborhood got blowed up!

and that we will become assets to this fine site.

...already are. Merry Christmas all, Lynn B

Leslie~ I need help importing my log. Is your offer still good?

REALLY BIG HELLO!! to all that I haven't yet said "Hi!" to ......... I am soooo relieved to see not only our group coming back together again in relative peace, but also the incredible welcome that we're getting in our new home! No run for me today.....sharp edge this am in prep for this: <[img]>http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee119/mtnchk1/Unassembled-snowmen-for-sale1.jpg<[> plus dental appt.....next phase of implants.....plus GD is home for Winter Break (!?!?) & while I may be done w/my Christmas shopping...I still needed to take her! Fortunately, a quick trip to Wally World is sufficient for an 8 yr old! A bit more of the sharp cold tomorrow & I should be on top of getting the house all ready for whatever family make it here Tues....& hopefully I'll be able to bust outta here for a bit Sunday & Monday..... Merry Christmas!! <[img]>http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee119/mtnchk1/SantaBaby.jpg<[ mg]=""></[></[img]></[></[img]>

Thanx!!! I was wandering around lost (as usual! ) looking for how to do this....thought I had it....Now maybe I do, thanks to you!

Arla: I think I'm just gonna start fresh here!~ as in not worry about trying to move my brief log... Most of my stuff was/is on my Garmin anyway....& I saw something about Eric & folks working on possibly some way to integrate that....would definitely help w/redundancy for me....

LRN took some grief in one of his threads. I guess we all know his message and his intentions are the best. The natives are feeling a little overwhelmed at present but if they are a little patient with us and we are tactful It'll all work out.

I think the natives are being quite gracious under the circumstances and we don't know your LRN or his intentions, yet. His initial post was a bit of an affront to the community that already existed here, though I think everyone here understood he was well-meaning, he came off as, well, pretentious, or at least the title of his thread did. I, for one, am glad to see the influx of you all coming over from CR as I welcome all the diversity of running backgrounds, abilities, goals, information, inspiration, and encouragement... the latter of the two is what I have felt the most of from the RA community since I have been hanging out here. If you haven't taken the time to take a look at the Dinner thread that Jeff posted, please do so, there is a lot there that will give you some insights as to the feel of this sight from the community that has been built here. I think one thing you will find is that it is very light-hearted here, yet helpful and informative, without anyone coming off as pretentious. I MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT the most gifted or acclaimed runner here, but there are MANY here that are, but you wouldn't know it by the way they modestly help folks out around here. Anyway, I'm not coming down on your LRN, nor do I think anyone else was intentionally trying to "give him grief". If that was the perception, than I apologize on behalf of this community. I have never seen any kind of behavior like that from the awesome folks here and again, look forward to getting to know many of you as well as I am certain that you are a collective group of future running friends as well. (to help us out in getting to know y'all, please make sure you create your profile and make it public if you don't mind, as well as your logs once your importing is straightened out). May all your children be born naked.

Arla (or anyone else for that matter), please feel free to call me Rick. Nice bikes.
