part of a greater whole
I just wanted to take a moment to thank some people. My gratitude comes from understanding that this RBF thing is NOT something Aaron and I created on our own. Rather, the RBF exists because people believe in something greater and actively contribute to it’s growth and development.
Case in point: Marie just made us a terrific new RBF button for linking to the RBF Directory in style. Here’s the button: 
Copy this link if you want your blog to get the image from us instead of having to upload it on your server. Thanks Marie!
Case in point: Jeff has, with great enthusiasm and generosity, suggested we start planning a First Annual RBF Fest - a run/race for RBF members. The idea being to get as many members as possible to one place for a run. In other words, a place for us to actually meet face-to-face, have a run and a terrific party! Thanks Jeff, you totally rock!
As an aside, I have taken FAR too long to act on Jeff’s suggestion. Please take a look at his original post on the subject and then go to this link on the Complete Running Bulletin Board. Let’s get talking about this!
Finally: The Running Chick Dianna’s contribution. Did you know Dianna was the first to call us the Running Blog Family? Dianna has for some time been trying to get Runner’s World to write about the RBF and has now taken the task on herself. Runner’s World asked her to write and submit something about us. She tells me she’s almost done. Great job Sister!
These are just three outstanding examples (I’m sure there are more!) of people seeing themselves as part of something larger. Nice huh?
Spread the word on these good works. If you tell two people and they tell people and so on and so on…
