This past weekend at the 68th Annual @rrcanational Convention, I was on the mic surrounded by the people who make running happen in communities all across the country including running club leaders, race directors and coaches.
I had a chance to share how working at so many running events, witnessing the triumphs and challenges, compelled me to take responsibility for narrating these moments and step to the mic.
I was honored to recognize @pstewartrrm during his final @cucb weekend.
Then I had the chance to introduce and listen to @martinusevans whose storytelling reframes what’s possible.
Thank you to @rrcaceo for the invitation to emcee.
If you’ve ever wondered how the sport of running keeps growing, you can give a lot of credit to the people in that room.
