Request noted...I should make that statement about myself too since RA is my biggest distraction while at work. Smile

CR refugee here; actually, I took the active.com takeover as a Sign from Above to stop wasting so much time on the boards. So, uh, I have found my way to this forum... (Please whack me upside the head if I go over 2 posts/day) Hello everyone! Nice to meet you! Renee in Oregon

Econo, I've been waiting for you! Don't reply or you'll use up your quota though! Carig

I'm a long time CoolRunner, but I only posted there 7,008 times or so...

Ooh, I'm gonna have competition! Big grin

Really, I'm kinda glad that CR screwed-up. The more the merrier, I say. I'm always happy to have more folks around here to draw knowledge and experience from. Welcome, CR refugees. Smile

The running boards were very helpful in CR. Whether or not the ClubHouse was of much benefit depends I guess on your point of view. There could be some hefty discussions in there. The merge with active just didn't go as well as some CR's hoped. So some of us have been searching for a new home.

Welcome everyone. Did you notice that there aren't all kinds of annoying ads and popups on this site? Eric has made a conscious decision to avoid all that, and is giving up a lot of potential revenue. Please support the site, use that PayPal link on the main page. And, please no Dean Karnazes threads. Thank you.

Nice to meet you as well, Renee in Oregon. And welcome to all the CR immigrants/refugees! Big grin

Heh... I'd be one bludgeoned bloke if I asked someone to whack me upside the head if I went over 2 posts/day. Better than Zoomie though... they'd need her dental records to identify the body! Roll eyes

And here is yet another CR refugee, who saw this website on CR when someone said that LRNick was here. Love the layout and seems like a great place. I loved CR (and I enjoyed the banter on CH), but not pleased with the site right now. Not at all ready to abandon it, but nice to see what else is out here in internet-land.

Welcome to everybody from Cool Running & anybody else for that matter. Somehow I feel like it's Season Two of Lost. Who are all these new people? It has been interesting watching new folks flood in & start to acclimate. I'm not very familiar with Cool Running. I'd posted a few times on their message board last year when I first started running again but, never really frequented it enough to get a feel for the place. I think the best feature of RunningAhead is the log system Eric has set up. A message board is an interesting thing to watch. What distinguishes RunningAhead from say Runner's World or LetsRun is a level of civility that's nice to see. Hopefully that can continue. I wonder if it's possible to keep that same level of civility as a message board community grows in size? Will this message board keep its small town charm or will it turn into something else? Is it just me or did the reaction to a certain person's new mileage group skirt the line between good natured joshing or being mean? I think we can all adapt to new people & new ideas. Whatever happens it'll be fascinating to watch. A disturbing thought. Could the same thing that happened at Cool Running happen here? Should we backup our running logs just to be safe? BTW, Blimpychimpy cracks me up.

Eric is a decent guy and a stellar resource. I don't think that he would sell RA off, and even if things changed and he did, I'd imagine that he would give us all ample opportunity to download our logs. Even today, you can easily export your log to an Excel file. So no worries.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Hi folks! Another refugee, but I frequent Kickrunners when it isn't having difficulties (I may be an a--hole!) I like the look of this site as well.

Run, run as fast as you can

Another former CR/sometime Kickrunner here... but I don't think I post enough at either place to be an a--hole! Of course, maybe that's what defines me as one. Oh no!!
