In 2004 I joined a wonderful running club. I went to all the Sunday runs in hopes of surviving my first marathon and coming away with a BQ. (I did!)
This club is full of fast, hard working, and dedicated runners. At any given local race there are always SERC members coming away with hardware. I remember my first Bedford 5 miler. Literally every club member there came away with a trophy. That certainly says something about the caliber of runners I am lucky enough to run with and call friends.
When you run with so many people that are achieving amazing things on a regular basis it is easy to forget that what you are doing is also special. That most people don't enjoy training week in and week out for marathons and triathlons. It is easy to overlook your accomplishments because someone else you are close to is doing the same, but doing it farther or faster.
This year I have been taking care of the club website and have enjoyed putting up pics of everyone. I was honored to be asked to be VP this year. I am sure mostly I will still just be working on the website but it will be nice to help out with some new fresh ideas like a new race and a club newsletter. The banquet was really special for me this year and I am so honored to be a part of such a great group, and thankful that they are willing to let me take such an active role.
