Hi All –

We seem to have made it to a new (and DRY) week. Let’s celebrate by getting together for a run – you can find a summary of this week’s events below, or by checking out the full calendar at woodsidesunnysiderunners.com.

In other news, your faithful organizer and group founder has decided that it’s time to explore new adventures. Yes, Jay is leaving the group in November.

When I formed the group in December, 2009, I had no idea that starting a casual, neighborhood running group could be so incredibly rewarding and exciting. At the time, the plan was to start something (I had never created a group before then), meet a few people in the neighborhood, and move on within a few months. Six years later, the Woodside-Sunnyside Runners have become a huge part of my life and introduced me to so many great people whom I consider to be close friends, that it’s hard to calculate the impact it’s had on me and also on the neighborhood(s). But, I am the entrepreneurial type and must move on to my next big thing (you’ll hear more about this soon).

In the meantime, please continue to join our group runs, start discussions in the Runners Forum and definitely come to the Halloween Pub Run and Marathon Cheering events planned for late-October and early-November (follow the links, below, for details). I’d also love to see you on Tuesday evenings at 7pm for our group’s signature weekly, casual 3ish miler that I’ll continue to lead into November.

The group will continue well after I’m gone because it’s all about you. I just keep things humming smoothly – a task that will continue with others at the helm.

Watch this space plus the Runners Forum for updates and any changes to the schedule. If you are not yet a member of the group’s secure discussion area, please follow the link, below, while signed in to Google+, or message your organizer for assistance.
