2014 RRCA National Convention in Spokane

2014 RRCA National Convention in Spokane

A few weeks ago was the annual convention for the Road Runners Club of America. Each year, a few hundred runners, race directors and general running enthusiasts get together for a combination of running, inspiration and education centered around our sport. This was my fourth trip to the convention since becoming state representative for Maine in 2011 and a certified coach in 2008. So far, Spokane has been my favorite destination.
