To all:
As you may or may not know, I am something of a pack rat. I can not throw away anything that had some value at any point in my life. I just can't do it. I just gathered all my old shoes and I must have had 20 pairs of old running shoes sitting in my closet. I got rid of 8 or 9 and that is all I could muster.
Anyway, my magpie-like tendencies spread to the record-keeping area. So far this year, I have managed to write down what has happened every day (it is not a diary, whatever you might say- I choose to emasculate myself in many ways, but this, however, is not one of them) save for a few days around finals (it was worth it- somehow I pulled out a 3.71 for the semester! okay enough bragging...).
I think it would be equally as cool to record all of our runs together this summer in a log book of some sort. I propose a spreadsheet in which we can write the date, place, time, weather, and route of our runs. We can also write who was there, how long we ran, and if there were any major highlights.
For example:
DATE: June 4, 2007
DESCRIPTION: First Summer Run of 2007
PLACE: Depot Trailhead, Frostburg
WEATHER: too hot- around 85 at 6:00PM
RUNNERS: Jaron, Rob, Tommy, Mertz, Jeremy, Mike, Jimmy, Woody, Dennis, Marc, Dan, Matt D., Coach D., Colby, Luke, Chris M., etc., etc.,
etc......
ROUTE: Out to trestle and back (8-9 miles)
NOTES: Jimmy got attacked by a coyote on the way out and we made him wait out in the field until we were done. He got shot at by those creepy guys who do target practice out there, but that's only because he had on a camouflage Pitt Panthers T-shirt that attracted their attention. Cool.
etc etc etc etc etc
I think this would be cool because I love hearing Dennis tell stories of the good old days when the "old crew" would punish runs out on Christie Rd and thereabouts. This way, we can pass on the stories to Colby, Luke, their children, etc., about all the things we encounter.
If there is interest, I will make up the spreadsheets and bring them to the runs. I will pass some out to everyone so that at least one person has one for every run in case I am not there all the time.
I will type them all up and record them in a file so that it's electronically saved, too. Maybe Darrell can even put it up here on the site so everyone can see that the QCS group really does meet in the summer.
What do you think? Am I just a packrat?
