President's Corner

June 3, 2009

We had 51 show up this afternoon for our "CCRC 1st Annual National Running Day Run". I appreciate everyone who braved the hot weather, and it was hot. I believe Adam Dodson was the first place finisher but I believe we had 51 winners. I met some of our members that I had not met before and had a really enjoyable time standing in the shade, swapping running stories after the run. AND, I did not see one person roll their eyes. How many of you can talk on and on about running at home without at least one member of your family giving you the old "eye roll"? I see it at home and work. I guess I could just not go and on about running---not going to happen.

Not only did we have a good time we made a statement to a lot of people driving along the loop about something we're all passionate about.

After the good times I had a cold beverage at Applebee's and was ask the question. Are you a jogger? I'm ask that question from time to time and it always offends me. Why is that? Well, in my next email after my much needed vacation next week, I'm going to give you the ten things that will let you know if you're a jogger and not a runner.

I know you can't wait.

Have a great week.

Katherine Whitlow Fund

July 5, 2008

Katherine Hammontree Whitlow was a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, an aunt, a cousin, a designer, an artist and a homecoming queen. She was all of those things and embodied her place in each with honesty, grace and passion. She was all of those things and she was a Christian. On December 20, 2006, Katie was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. One year after that, to the date, she died. At the time of her death, Katie was four months pregnant with a son, Bascom Ancil Whitlow. >>more

New CCRC Wicking T Shirt

July 1, 2008

We now have a limited number of wicking (technical) t-shirts with the CCRC logo on them. These shirts are great for hot weather running or as a layer in the winter. You can purchase them for $15 each, plus shipping of $2 per shirt if you want it mailed to you. See the shirt (click image for larger picture) modeled by Jeff Paterson's son on the attached picture. Some members have already received a shirt from the first order and from all reports I have heard, everyone loves them.

Cornwells take the roles of volunteerism to heart

By Doug Hawley Dalton Daily Citizen, Sunday October 12, 2008

In our athletic world of the superstars, we often take for granted those people who play vital roles behind the scenes. That is the case with Woody and Elaine Cornwell of Carpet Capital Running Club of Dalton. They are longtime volunteer superstars when it comes to organizing and directing foot races. Since joining the running club 25 years ago, this couple of 41 years twice has earned prestigious national recognition from Road Runners Club of America following an amazing 2,000 hours of volunteerism each time. >>more
