And loving it!! Come on over!

http://www.runningahead.com/groups/LongHaul/

A group of former Cool Runners who are re-gathering and supporting each other.

It seems that it takes 3 tries to get logged in, but I assume that'll be taken care of; it's been just over a week. It's a pain but hardly worth throwing out the baby with the bath water.

Andy, I see that you've been making an effort to keep things going here, and I hope you continue. I figure that as long as I can log in and start or participate in a thread, that's the core of the site, so I'm sticking around and if people leave people leave. It's a shame but was caused by those who weren't willing to let the transition work out its bugs and those who followed them out of fear for being left out.

I haven't noticed speed issues over there. The response times have been great and actually, when I logged into Active today, if took over a minute. JUST TO LOG ON!! Don't get me wrong, I loved Cool Running. I miss all of the activity and members, but the community has changed. Maybe it will be for the better, but it all felt wrong to me. My posting the URL to the Long Haul group is to give folks who are missing some of what Cool Running's forums had a place to go and see if maybe they feel at home there. That's all. Also, Eric has upgraded to a new server to handle all the new Running Ahead members. Let's be clear.......you can't be a cool runner, if there is no more cool running. I guess you could be an Active Cool Runner. Cool Running is the site that got me running. The forum members, specifically The Long Haul, are the people who kept me running. I am where they are. We all went together and I think that is what matters most to me. If anyone else wants to come on over, you're welcome. New running ahead members are a good thing.

Ok, I believe my logs have been imported into Active, but I can't find a way to run a report telling me my mileage for the year? Anyone know how to do that?

I am not sure about droves? Last time I check the CR Refugee group had 125 members, hardly a drove. RA is not friendly place I found. Even the owner Eric noticed it.

Guys, I completely understand if someone wants to leave but check if the water is in fact warm there. What we really need is LRN back!!

I went to runningahead forums. maybe it's the holiday season, but lets just say I am not jumping up and down in exitement.

I think coolrunning was one of best running forums, and I am truely sad at it's demise. I am a new runner and learnt a lot from the folks there.
