RMEC General Updates

A few quick updates that will interest the RMEC.

The Umstead Trail Marathon (not the ultra) is open for registration. This race only allows 200 runners, and could sell out as soon as today. It is very popular, and a well organized trail race. I know many of you really enjoyed the trails at Medoc, so this is another great chance to do more.

Sweetheart 5k registration is open. The early pricing ends when the new year begins. You can register online, but I also have a paper form you can use. The paper form will save you about a buck. The RMEC is taking a very small fee for each runner that registers. Currently the club does not pay online processing fees as a non-profit organization. This free service goes away on January 1st, so it is very beneficial to the club for people to register now. If you know you plan to run, please take a few minutes and register now, or shoot an email to
runrmec@yahoo.com and request the paper form. Remember, this event is not a couples only race, in fact the large majority of the runners are entered as individuals.

A Club Meeting is planned for next Wednesday at 12:30 pm. I will email details shortly to every, but we hope you can join us. It will be short, and you can bring your lunch with you. We will review the club finances, discuss our 2008 accomplishments, and our 2009 plans. Your opinions, ideas, and suggestions are welcomed.


RMEC Shirts have been shipped. I should have these Monday to begin to distribute. If you have not paid, please do so quickly. I really do not want to drive around with 70+ shirts in my van, so please help me get these out to you.

Michael,
If there are any hats left, I would like to get one. Ashley Bass says he lost his. I think he was running so fast it just incenerated right off his head.

Shirts should arrive today (Monday). I will start giving them out this evening. You are welcome to come by the house, or I can bring them to the YMCA, and on group runs too.

Thanks to everyone for paying so quickly. There are still a few of you that I have not seen yet.

If you paid cash this weekend for your RMEC shirt, check the shirt post, to make sure I have you marked off the list. Between Medoc and the Christmas Party, I had LOTS of people shoving money in my pockets, and I want to make sure I got everyone.

Thanks!
