Quote of the Week:

I really love going places with out a map.  When I went running in Paris, I headed for a monument or a statue that I could see off in the distance.  To get back where I started, I simply used the GPS on my phone.

From the Soul of My Shoe: NewRo Board Member Introductions
Forward by Marissa Frusciante


The next new board member is Cathy Nottage!  We are thrilled that she was willing to join our crew and brings many new ideas to NewRo. In addition to running, Cathy is an excellent planner and helped to organize our Annual Meeting and Party this year.  We are looking into different places to host our get together next year,  so if you have a place in mind - contact Cathy!

So to introduce myself, as many of you know, I’m Cathy. Some fun facts that you may or may not know about me are . . .

YOU KNOW:  I’m from England.

YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW: I found a passion for running after moving to Westchester from Brooklyn. Prior to seven years ago I had never ran more than 5miles. Now I’m on my way to getting my Fourth Abbott star by running London in April. 

YOU DON’T KNOW:  I‘m generally not a winter runner and I’m definitely not self motivated. I have been known to show up to runs and then turn around and go home if I don’t find the group. That is why I’m so glad to have found the group that call themselves New Ro Runners. I’m so grateful and know I wouldn’t be where I am today without you guys. So thank you and look forward to meeting all the new comers this year. Oh another thing you might not now about me: I’m very chatty, love social events, love to travel and hear about people’s travels. So if you happen to see me out there make sure you say hi!
