We Got The Runs

Last year I started a running group. A few weeks in the team and named It.... We Got The Runs! (Yes I picked the brown text for this post based off of the team name! LOL:) We started in August and now have over 30 people in our group. I have to admit I still haven't met them all since it is a informal running team meant to make new friends and find people interested in doing the same races you are.

I just started by adding friends who like running with me or with other people. Those friends have invited their friends and so on. I am so excited about our growth. Soon we need to make shirts or tank tops :)

Even if its just for fun and not a race we try to post a meet up at least once a week so people can come out and meet new friends or at least just get in a good workout!

We have some people in the group who haven't ran a race with us yet and some doing a race or two every month. It is so great to have such a wide variety of athleticism in the group. It helps people who are just starting not feel so shy to get up and come out and meet us even just for a short run. 

The next big race that is coming up is the Shamrockin' Half Marathon! It is this Sunday and we are so excited! I think we have like 10 people doing this one. Some going for a PR and some going just to finish their first half! So proud of all my teammates :) 

Keep up the good work! 

Last night Zach and I had a little mixer at our home in order to encourage more people from the group to come out and meet new people in the group. We didn't have as many people come as we were hoping but we still had a good time and were able to meet a few new faces :)
