Why I love my running club:

1. It's like having a HUGE extended family from the funny Uncle that can make a mundane maintenance run fun, to the wise aunt that has a cure for every running ailment, and the clumsy cousin who manages to always pick themselves up and you can always count on someone to be there rain, sleet or heat!










2. There is always a fun run that can help make training fly by.  Those of you who have read past posts know how much I love our club's Handicap Runs

3. Monthly meetings are informative, usually have a guest speaker, and sometimes giveaways!  I often see groups running before the meeting also!

I know I should have picked a better pic :-)
4. Instant fan base!!!  I LOVE IT when I'm running a race and when some of the volunteers recognize me from the running club and I hear "Keep it up Natasha" or someone from the running club passes me and encourages me to keep moving just when I think I want to start walking (World's Toughest 10k) "IFM"  Incessant Forward Motion!








5.  They never get tired of listening to you talk about all things running related!  If I talk about my training plan, nutrition, or upcoming race they have the appropriate level of interest and even provide feedback! 


That is why I'm so excited about taking on a marketing role with our club and trying to spread the word.  I just need to get a little creative because as is with all non-profits it needs to be on a tight budget. Any ideas?  Why do you love your running club?
