As I prepare for my first race since August 2011, I am getting all the usual emails: packet pick up, race day information and guidelines- the usual. I also got a Safety Message to Runners.
I was immediately sad. I’ve never gotten an email like this- there were ones that reminded me to hydrate, to use the specified gear bag, and to have fun. This email was business- it made running something less freeing.
I am trying to shake it off. I will run. I will have fun. I won’t let anyone take running away from me.
Because I know many people will be at the races this weekend, I wanted to post the information so you have it, too. Race hard, running family!
It is such a shame that we all have to pay for the actions of a few! Run a good race! I admire you for staying active.
Thank you! I have grown to love running for all it’s done for my body and mind… I just don’t want to be afraid to go to a race, but I feel hesitant.
Run, Girl, Run! Have a terrific race and a beautiful, restful, joyful Mother’s Day!
You can do it! And good for you!
I pray that you are safe and yes, this message serves as a very sad reminder. But I adore your attitude. I hope you run like a MOTHER! Happy Mother’s Day and congratulations on getting back to racing…and doing what you love. XO
You go run girl!! It is the world we live in!! RUN and keep running. xo
Keep running!!! Scary times though when you have to get notices like this. Sad.
