Confused

Hi All

(I emailed this message to most regular users, but in case you've not received it....)

For reasons that aren’t completely clear to me, I’ve had a drastic change of sentiment towards runningcommentary in recent weeks. I explained previously that I’d felt a little anxious about privacy, triggered by a recent job application. That was true, but I think the job application thing was really just the thing that finally pushed me over a line I’d been approaching for some time — with all the alacrity of one of my lacklustre marathons, one might say. I finally got there.

I’m in a quandary, and need some help.

When I saw a few of the chaps recently (Sweder, Nigel, Moyleman, Rog) we talked about starting a sort of online running club. What do people think about this? I like the idea. It would enable us to keep the forum going, and perhaps the site.

I said this before, but I’ve become increasingly conscious of the gap between what the site started out as, and what it has become.

Here are some random possibilities:

— that we just keep the forum and abandon the wider website

— that we keep the forum and website but change the focus in some way. I quite like the idea of a running club approach, with perhaps a focus on race reports/pictures/fixtures etc

— er…?

As you can see, I haven’t got very far in my wondering.

Can I ask for thoughts on this please?

If the running club idea is popular, we need a name. We could stick with runningcommentary, or go for a change. Just an idea, but I own the domain name runningtotal.com, for instance. If anyone has a better idea for names, or what to do with the site, please circulate your thoughts.

Andy

PS My running is also buggered at the moment but that’s a side issue. One thing at a time….
