Drum Roll, Please…
We’ve got our Pace Group Leaders all set. These will be your “people” for the season…the people to reach out to regarding your group, the runs, all that good stuff. They will be introducing themselves to you in the coming week. All we’ve asked of them…is to be a focal point for you. Someone near your pace, training for the same distance you are…that can make sure you get connected as much as you want to be connected. If you’re injured, let them know. If you’re having a hard time finding someone to run with, let them know. They certainly won’t be at all of the runs. WHO DOES THAT ANYWAY?!? But they will be checking in with you throughout the season. They aren’t coaches…but rather Group {Cheer} Leaders, you could say. Minus pom-poms and flips, except Julio…you just never know with that guy 🙂
We are trying something {officially} this year. We’ve asked each of the group Leaders to create a Facebook group for their pace groups. I encourage you to join your pace group and if you’re on the either end of your pace group, join the next group…or the other distance at your pace (join a HM group if you’re training for the FM). This just gives you more opportunities to find folks to run with. These groups will be just like our main FB page, and be only for PARR Members. Our main Facebook page will continue to be our focal point…but wanted to give the groups a better way to connect and not get lost trying to do so on the larger page.
I’ve included the links below, but also added them to the UPDATED GROUP PAGES.
