So much work has been done in the past few weeks, I can't begin to tell you every detail that goes into the planning of a marathon, and the races that accompany it.
I have filled out the applications for RRCA to be regional championship races, the half and the full. If we do not get regional, we will most likely get state championship.
The web designer and I have been communicating daily about the website. I cannot believe the intricate details that are involved with this masterpiece. I hope you love it as much as we do! It is amazing and should be up and running this week. Pictures will be added, and other details to finalize it.
I am finishing up the registration form. It is also a large task that when finished, appears to be quite simple. The legalities and small items involved on each line take quite a bit of leg work and thinking. For example, when you have walk-in registration, you need to call the running stores and get the okay for this. Another small step is the "terms and conditions" section on entry forms. There is a lot to think about. What about dates for early entry versus regular entry. Should there be race day registration? How will that be handled if there is? In the meantime, I have the relay coordinator emailing the AFA obtaining approval for our leg exchange, and our Pasta in the Park coordinator receiving bids on pasta meals, and our permit coordinator sending emails to check the status on our permits, and many other things...and so much more!
Running keeps me sane! I hear reasons for why people run and one of the best ones was, "It is my prescription!" Over the past two weeks, I have refound that passion for running. I love running again. (Christmas Break) Since I am teacher when I am not a race director, I have been able to be a runner when I have not been a race director lately. It has been amazing. I go back to teaching 5th graders next Tuesday, but will try to keep you updated! Happy running!
