It was quite a year, wasn’t it? A lot happened. A lot that we
thought would happen never did. And now we’re staring a new year right in the
face. We reach many of you on social media, namely our Facebook and Instagram pages. So, before we swap our calendars for 2016, let’s take a look back at our top posts from the past
year.
First, our Facebook posts.
Oct. 1: The one-year anniversary of the new ownership group
was truly one of the highlights of our year. Our friends and family shared in
this wonderful day, as did our Facebook community.
Aug. 24: We’re told to always run through the finish line.
But even professional runners could use a reminder every once in a while at,
say, the World Track and Field Championships.
Chico State graduate Scott Bauhs made history while running
for the Wildcats. He also made history by breaking the 4-minute mile at Chico
State University track. Were you there when Bauhs broke that magical barrier?
Every sport has its characteristics and behaviors that those
outside the sport finds weird. Love 'em or hate 'em, here are ours.
We runners can be so downright thoughtless.
Honorable mention
The Jack Frost 10k was postponed a week due to potentially
dangerous high winds and heavy rain. The likes, comments and (especially)
shares proved that our running community cares about each other. No picture.
Just a message that was shared like crazy.
Now, let’s look at the year that was on Instagram.
Summer Sizzler love
Our training groups are the heart and soul of our running
community. And this post with our Summer Sizzler 10 grads proved that.
Our team
We posted this simple picture right before Christmas
Preview. The response told us that we mean a lot to our community, the same way
you mean the world to us.
Small Business Week
Along those same lines, it’s always a battle competing
against the larger online stores and shoe outlets. Your support means the world
to us.
Monday Motivation
Want to see a 92-year-old woman finish the San Diego Rock
and Roll Marathon? Many of you did, and hopefully found motivation.
Chico State
decathletes
The Chico State decathlon squad went 1-2-3 at the 2014 NCAA
Division II National Track and Field Championships.
Honorable mention
Practicing what he
preaches
Fleet Feet Chico co-owner Paul Smith. He coaches. He
educates. He wins races. Any questions?
