Changes Ahead
If you've ever wanted to contribute to publicizing the sport of running here in Houston or the activities of the Houston Area Road Runners Association (HARRA), here's your chance!
1.) I'll be letting the folks at the Houston Chronicle know that I am no longer able to keep up and do the type of job that I desire to do with the RunHouston blog.
2.) I'm also seeking a replacement for my role as VP, Communications and Footprints Editor for HARRA.
On the first opportunity, please e-mail me at walksports(at)aol.com and on the latter, you can let myself or Anna Sumrall Helm, HARRA's president, know.
Note that I'll continue to serve in the HARRA role until we find an adequate replacement and can transition those responsibilities. (By the way, I might add that this decision doesn't have anything to do with HARRA itself. I think the group of people on the Board are great individuals and I appreciate the respect I'm given by them.)
I think I've been fortunate enough to raise the bar in both areas, but personal situations and work pressures keep me from doing the job that I desire to be able to do in each endeavour.
Thanks for your past support and I'll see you on the roads!
Oh .... and if nobody steps up to the plate, guess what? You're stuck with me calling it as I see it. I've said before and will say it again, that I think there are others who agree with me but may be afraid to step out there and say what I think (and subsequently write.)
As I said in the comments of the last, most contentious post (to some), all it sometimes would take is a phone call to say "let's sit down in person and see if I can address some of your issues."
