Dear Runners who read the Milk Table,

The Milk Table “is a blog for DeSmet distance runners by DeSmet distance runners.”
The Milk Table is here to “make distance running more fun” for everyone.
The Milk Table is here to “build team spirit.”
The Milk Table becomes what you want it to be.
The Milk Table is what you make it.

From the beginning involvement with the Milk Table has been highly encouraged.

We want you to comment. Comment about something in the post. Comment about something that’s not in the post. Comment about your group’s run. Comment something funny that someone said on the run. Comment about the guy that honked when you were on Ladue. Comment whatever you like. The comments section on the blog is your place to have an impact and say in every post. Every comment becomes an extension of the post.

We want you to contribute to the post. If ever want to write something to go in the post feel free. We have never rejected anything. The first ever contribution was about how some runners got attacked by geese. It was great. Another contribution was a simple thank-you to a teammate for his help in jumping a car. A contribution can be anything you want to be. No contribution has ever been turned away. How do you contribute? Simply, write something up and get it to a Blogmaster. Text, email, facebook; any way you want. The Milk Table even has its own email and facebook page now.

If actually writing about something that happened sounds too difficult then just tell us. Share your experiences. Tell us a good quote or joke. Tell us something about something fun or cool. If we aren’t there, we don’t know what happened. If you tell us, we can put it on the blog.

We say all this because it has come to our attention that some people are having a problem with the non-Varsity coverage (or lack-there-of). It is not that we don’t like the JV and Freshmen. It is not that we want the blog to be Varsity only. It is impossible to write what we don’t know. The Blogmasters are on Varsity so we write about what happens in the Varsity practice. It bothers us that people are upset about what is on the blog they have a say in it.

We just want everyone to be informed. Informed that you are part of the Milk Table and that you get out of it what you put in.

Sincerely,
The Blogmasters:
