I'm so excited that all of you want to join this running group! Okay--maybe "want" is not the accurate term. Maybe I should say that I'm excited you are willing to join this running group!
Because of everyone being so spread out all over the city, we decided that we'd have two different groups that will meet on weekdays for "short" runs: the West Siders and the East Siders (sorry for being so generic!) The ladies in each group will get together and figure out when they want to try to meet and where. And then every Saturday morning, the groups will come together for a longer run all throughout Cincinnati.
More details will be forthcoming....but for now, here's what we need to decide:
1) A name for our cool group. Flora thought of the name "Moms Running After Kids" (see the double meaning, eh?) and then we realized the acronym is Moms Raks, which is hilarious. If any of you can come up with a name that people like better, or if anyone is uncomfortable with the name, PLEASE SPEAK UP! We can totally change the name.
2) Cool apparel. We're thinking that on our Saturday runs, we want to stand out :) so we thought when we get a name, we can design tshirts/tanks/visors etc for us to wear! If you have a design idea or color that you want, cast your vote!! Otherwise, we'll hope that Flora can work her magic to convince her artist-husband to design something for us!
Hopefully I'll get more info on this site in the next few days. Oh--you are all authors on this blog, so you should be able to create your own posts to announce a running time/place or to ask the group a question or any other info that you think would be helpful. You should also be able to comment on everyone's posts.
Looking forward to seeing more of you as we run....and, subsequently, LESS of you as we run (for those of us trying to knock off some poundage!)

Wendy- awesome job! Thank you so much for putting the energy into this...so cool. I'm looking forward to the runs. (Actually, feeling good afterward is what I'm looking forward to!)
ReplyDeleteLove the cool looking blog! Thanks for all your hard work!
ReplyDeletePLEASE submit t-shirt ideas, I'm not holding my breath that my oh-so-wonderful artist husband will get anything drawn in an oh-so-timely fashion. ;) here's my idea- 2 big circles with the word "RAKS" across the middle- kidding!
Seriously, we need a logo so that we can be official. Think Think Think...
ha! I'm so NOT artistic that I don't even have any ideas. let me scour the net after I scour some parks, and I'll see what i can find
