As we say goodbye to 2024 and welcome 2025, let’s take a moment to celebrate the miles we’ve logged and the friendships we’ve built along the way. Your passion for running and supporting one another continue to make this club stronger every year.
As I reflect on 2024, it was a challenging year for me in terms of running. I was looking forward to running the Boston Marathon, but was unable to because of health issues. In fact, I had to stop running entirely in 2024 in order to heal. You, the Striders kept me motivated and I’m so happy to have returned to running in the past two months.
In the year ahead, may we find new challenges, set bold goals, and enjoy every step—together. I’m hopeful and excited for 2025. In particular, I’m looking forward to the upcoming RRCA Club 10 mile Challenge on Sunday February 23. This year the club will cover 75% of the registration fee so it will only cost you $10. A registration link will be available soon so please mark the date on your calendar.
Whether you’re racing for the podium or running for the joy of it, I’m grateful for the energy and heart you bring to our community.
Wishing you a joyful, healthy, and runtastic 2025!
