Worth repeating... or maybe I'm the only person that got a laugh out of this.
Before the invasion reached shore, I believe 2006. Lurked for a while. Asked if anyone knew of a good New Year's Day race near me, and the Great and Powerful Eric replied "my club puts one on, the Run Your Hangover Off 5 Miler". After the race, I went up to Eric : ) to thank him for the recommendation. As soon as Eric got home, he pulled his picture off his profile and has never had one since. True story.
I started logging in RA December 1, 2007. I think I found the site doing an internet search for an online running log - I never had one before RA. 17,000+ miles later...

+1. I recall seeing eric's photo at a wedding he was ether attending or he was getting married. I can not quite remember which.

Run until the trail runs out.

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff

+1 Never could get my miles logged from coolrunning
I eventually came over from coolrunning in August, 2008.
Summer 2009. Wanted an online log and google pointed me here.
If if I were to put a pr in my signature it would be my beer mile.
Me too.

remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

not bad for mile 25
Heh, can't remember?
like many others, after coolrunning wanted to start charging me money sometime in the mid 00's.

Yah, me too. Didn't move my logging over until 1/1/7.
Like zoom, I'm an RA OG. I joined in Q1 or Q2 of 2006.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
I've got a fever...
1/10/2007. Wow, 12 years.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

I joined when I first started running in 2005 at 58. Been slacking lately, but now gearing up for some 14'er summits since I moved to Colorado a few months ago.

Been around a long time....from my restart of running in 2006 and looking for a log, to ultra's to injury. Love the RA log and friends I have made along the way.

I started logging here in January 2013. I had been running the previous two years, but not keeping an online log. I also spent a lot of those two years injured, so didn't do a lot of miles. I never went back and filled in those miles, so my total mileage is about 700 low. I was part of the RWOL invasion, having gotten very tired of the spam.

January 1st 2007. Haven’t missed logging a run since. Currently in my longest running hiatus since that day.
MTA: Who’s Eric?
Still here...
