You Need to Know

(You might think you've seen the following somewhere before. If so, that's because I just stole it wholesale from Mark. I don't think he'll mind.)

For those of you who don’t know, I am one tiny part of the dynamic team over at CRN. In addition to the great writing the team does, now is a good time to visit because of the numerous enhancements and additions we’ve made:

1. A new and much improved runner focused race calendar (triathletes welcome!)


2. Great new ways to promote your running blog


3. Quite a few improvements to the Running Blog Family Directory


4. A brand new forum


5. And lots of widgety/gadgety type things for your blog or Web site.

And, since he's so modest, let me tell you that our beloved blogfather (one-half of the team who dreamt up and IS the engine behind the RBF, CRN, and probably many other acronyms) is running the Woody's RV Marathon in (I think, it's hard to tell!) Red Deer, Alberta, on Sunday. Mark is trying to break 3:30 and is having a contest to guess his time. The winner gets...something!

This is the fellow who inspired all of us, whether you know it or not. He's a great guy, a bundle of energy, a never-ending source of ideas (see above), a non-stop encourager, unafraid to don a skirt when necessary, a great family man, and a terrific runner.

So hop on over to Mark's and get your bet in! While you're there, take a minute to wish him well.

And Mark, here's a little motivation just for you:
