Welcome, Aurora/Centennial runners!

Hello Everyone and WELCOME! to the Aurora Sunrise Striders. My name is Ila and I recently took over the organizer duties from our founder, Adam. I moved to Colorado in June 2007 and started running in June 2008. As our esteemed founder said so well, "Since I have been here I have been trying to hook up and run with other Meetup members but most of the organized runs are on Saturdays when I work or to far away for me to travel on weekdays." Our group is open to runners of all ages and experience levels, whether it be for competition, weight loss or simply to have friends to spend some time with. I run 4 days a week - 3-5 miles a day during the week and longer on Saturdays and/or Sundays. I'm not fast -- I run around 10 minutes per mile depending on how flat the course is, and how long the run. We have jackrabbits and non-jackrabbits in our group. Most have run marathons and/or half marathons, and some of us (like me) are sticking to shorter distances. This year we had two teams for the Colorado Colfax marathon relay, which was fun! And two of us were part of a relay team for the Platte River Half Marathon relay. We also try to meet up with each other when we're running the same race.
I look forward to meeting more of you, and welcoming new members to Sunrise Striders!
Ila :)
