I always train alone and it's great to have a place where I can find an empathetic and knowledgeable group of people with whom I can share my experiences.

Thank you for your efforts on our behalf and for fostering the creation of such a supportive community.

Holly,

You've created and sustained a running family, and for that, we are forever greatful.

We know that it was a hard decision that you had to make...but you're leaving the site in really good hands.

Thank you for everything you have done....and I hope that you are able to devote more time to everything else in your life (your new job, Sammy, friends and loved ones, and running!)

I would like to thank you Holly. My running achievements were in large part due to this site. I would also like to thank you for the time you gave when I was at the meet and greet in YEG for my maniacal tour.

I wonder if Holly thought about selling RM to John Stanton. John could ban Jacob again and switch the rm colour from orange to red.

Thank you Holly... RM has been a huge source of support, information, and entertainment for me! You've done a fantastic job with it.

As with everyone else....Holly, thanks for starting "your baby" and caring for it for the past 3 years. It has grown into a fabulous online running community unlike any other. I am proud to be helping that community continue to grow and prosper.

I wouldn't be running if it weren't for RM! I am proud to say I have "friends" all over the country...and have met some in real life! :wink:

Saying THANKS isn't enough, Holly. I really appreciate everything you've done to keep this baby afloat.

I also appreciate your willingness to hand it over to others when you could just let things slide or shut'er'down all together. (I had one other forum where I posted regularly do that, and there were a number of regular posters that were very upset by that move) I am really happy RM is here, and will be here for a long time to come!

Although I am new to this site, I can really appreciate all that this site has done for me in the past few months. So many of us train alone...it is great to have this kind of community for support. I can not begin to imagine what it has done for those that have been members since it inception.
Thank you for nuturing your "baby" for those years.
Best of luck with the new job and any future endeavours! :D
