December 2017 - The RUNDOWN President’s Corner

The RUNDOWN - September 2017

Hello Striders:

Happy Holiday Season!! I know it’s been a few months since there’s been an edition of my column, but as you’re aware, our entire Strider communication outreach has been “under construction” recently. To bring you up to date, Ada Lester stepped down as our Rundown editor after having done a great job for our club for many years; I truly appreciate all of the hard work that Ada has put into making the Striders and the Rundown the best of the best.

We also now have a void in our web management as longtime webmaster Steve Speirs has stepped down as well. Steve, just like Ada, has done a fantastic job managing our website and I’m very grateful for everything Steve has done for so many years. We are now in the process of determining the best way to move forward in all aspects of communication, be it social media, newsletter or website. We hired a consultant who is handling these tasks for us now as we figure out the best way to move forward; we’ll certainly keep you all informed.

Speaking of folks who are leaving positions within the Striders, I want to thank our 3 out-going Board members – Vice President Tom Randolph, Treasurer Dan Edwards and Board member Jennifer Cowell. They have donated so much time and energy to the Tidewater Striders and all three will be sorely missed. Tom had the forward thinking idea of a Hampton Roads Super Grand Prix among the 3 running clubs in our area and single handedly scored all of the races for Super Grand Prix points as well as managing its website and was a confidant that I could always turn to. Dan, was not only our Treasurer for many years, but was also the co-Race Committee chair for many years and gave thousands of hours of volunteer service to a club he cared very deeply about. Jennifer was very involved with our New Energy program, volunteering as a coach at the Mt. Trashmore site, and was always willing to volunteer at the finish line for countless races. I will miss you all, but I also know that you will still be around volunteering for any number of chores and for that I say THANKS!

Mel Williams MCM Groundpounder

PLAN TO JOIN the Tidewater Striders' New Energy Youth 2018 Running Team New Energy is an informal youth group training together to improve their times in road races as well as their performance in track and field and cross-country events sanctioned by the USA Track and Field (USATF) and AAU . Motivations vary from those who simply enjoy running, to those who are goal oriented and recognize the need to train in order to perform well in races . With its group approach to running practices, New Energy provides a fun, sociable forum for running preparation and development .

New Energy welcomes all youth runners, ages 6-16, regardless of ability . Practices are informal, and participants are encouraged to attend as many as possible . Runners must have a good pair of running shoes to avoid injuries . Uniforms, Warm ups and other gear can be purchased, but are optional . Membership in the Tidewater Striders is required by the third practice in order to participate in sessions and compete on a team basis in Track and Relay teams . The cost is $12 .00 per year or $18 .00 for two years . The Team participates in road races held in the Tidewater area, which are part of the Youth Grand Prix 1-mile series and are sponsored by local organizations such as school PTAs . Check race flyers for specific information by visiting www .tidewaterstriders .com . A New Energy Team race schedule will be part of the program and can be found under ‘Youth Programs’ on our Web Site.

Coaching is provided by volunteers who are Tidewater Striders members . Again this year, Angelo Celesia will provide leadership for training with Steve Sheppard assisting . Other running enthusiasts/parents will also participate .

New Energy provides youth runners and their families an enriching environment which can be a building block to the youth runners' future . In the past, New Energy runners attended National Cross Country and Track and Field Championships around the Country . Many previous New Energy runners are currently participating with high school and college teams where they have excelled in Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field with All State and National recognition .
