November = Gratitude
For us, November is always a month of reflection, rest and gratitude. Our busy race season is nearly over and we have a moment to sit back and reflect on the past year as we start to look towards the next – what went right, what went wrong, what changes can we make to be […]
My Favorite Running Podcasts (Right Now)
For a FT RunGeek like me, I love all things running. I am guessing if you are reading this newsletter, you are in the same boat. I know many listen to podcasts while they run as it helps keep their mind occupied, I love listening to music as I like to work out my own […]

In times like these it shows what is truly important to each and every one of us; it challenges us to determine what truly matters in making us happy. For many the answer to happiness may be loved ones, a safe place to live, or a fresh home-cooked meal. However, here at Rhode Races we discovered that many of our runners found this happiness in one of their favorite hobbies: running.
