Run Leader Column - The Newsletter

​As you know from reading the Boathouse Runners newsletter, the look back over the month comes from me, unless I'm away when I need to get a report from someone else. In the case of this month, it was Tony who reported back in my absence. It used to be an overwhelming commitment, taking up an awful amount of my free time, so I have streamlined my process over the years. For anyone who has been with us for a while, you may have seen that this email went from weekly, to fortnightly, to monthly as it is now. All of which made it a more manageable task. I also now try to make a few notes on my phone on my way back from the park so that I can be home afterwards and get on with the rest of my day with my family. Before I had mastered this, I was guilty of not switching back to home life, and that's not healthy.
As much as I love compiling this for you, it is very much a diary from my experience of the Sunday morning runs. I have a few ideas on the go for how I can bring other voices from the Boathouse Runners into our monthly newsletter, but for now, I have an idea that can start straight away. If you have enjoyed your Sunday run, drop me a message (my number is at the end of the email, or you can send to [email protected]) which only has to be a sentence, but more if you feel like it. I can then add it into the newsletter alongside the notes I have made. You may even be able to take some of the (time) weight off my shoulders.
