Just came back from the first CSC monthly run. We went to Box Canyon. It was my first time as a trail ‘leader/organizer.’ I put this in quotes because I had so much help making sure everything when right I can’t really claim much credit. I’ll post a trail run report later, but first I want to nail down the monthly run idea.
On the trail we discussed how we should organize the monthly run. The discussion boiled down to having an official run on the fourth Saturday of every month versus having a different trial leader/organizer every month who picks the date and place.
I think most people who have not been ‘placed/forced’ in charge will find this intimidating, which is why I was selected as ‘leader/organizer’ of the first official monthly run. I can get lost anywhere…..and I proved it today when I missed the turn off to Florence Junction! But everyone was cool and got me back on track. After that it was smooth sailing…more or less.
If I can do it, then literally anyone can do it.
So, instead of me organizing a run on the forth Saturday of every month we decided to put out a call for volunteers for the coming months. First post for a month gets it. If no one posts, then I will organize a run for the forth Saturday of the month.
So, who is volunteering for February? If I don’t have a volunteer by next Friday, February the 3rd 2011, I’ll organize the official monthly run.
It was fun and everyone kept it very friendly.
