Team Little Guy Blog Launched

If you were in attendance at the Annual Meeting in Pinehurst earlier this month, you probably heard about "Team Little Guy." TLG is a group of twelve credit union runners who are going to run in the 208-mile Blue Ridge Relay Race in September.

As a biker, I have no idea why anyone would run 208 miles (even if twelve folks divide up the work with a nifty little baton).

Keep the baton, and please pass the phone so I can rent a car.

At any rate, TLG will be blogging about the experience of training for and running in the race. It's a bit of a flier, but we hope to accomplish a few things ...

• It's a way to thank our sponsors and share the experience with them (and let them hassle the team mercilessly).
• It's a way to spotlight the excellent work of the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation and the Micro Community Grants Program.
• It's a way for 12 guys who like to run to share their knowledge, and learn from other runners in the blogosphere.
• With runners scattered all over the East Coast and Midwest (some of whom have never met), it's a way for the team to build unity.
• It's also a way for us to learn more about Social Media.
• It will also be an initial test of the "Big Idea" concept mentioned in this space previously.

If you are so inclined, please check out The Little Guy blog ... and pass it along to the folks you know who are into running.
