We've got two women so far interested in getting a running group together in the Morley neighborhood. One woman would like to run at 5:30 AM every day (pace of about 10 min miles) and the other woman would like to run between 7-7:30 (usually about 4 miles).
Please let's spread the word and help female runners find one another to form these running groups.
No woman should have to run alone!
Please email takebackthemorning@gmail.com if you're interested in joining/starting a group.
UPDATE: A few more interested runners.
1. I'd love to do a 4-5am group daily or a Sunday group from 5-7 or 6-8 am.....thanks so much! You guys are so good to organize this! ps...if any runners want to train for something cool....we can put together a Ragnor Relay group...200 miles in 24 hours May20-21...team of 12 needed.....sure would be cool to see the neighborhood come back full throttle! Thanks so much!
2. Another runner who usually runs by herself mid-mornings would like to join a group. She runs in "rebounders," which slows down her pace to a 12-15 min/mile.
3. (from comments) How about another old sloooooow runner (12-15 min/mile) who wants to run at about 7:30.
LOOKS LIKE RUNNERS 2 + 3 here plus the woman above who would like to run between 7-7:30 have a group!!! Now, how best to set up a meeting time/place? If you are all comfortable sharing your email address with the others, you can let me know at takebackthemorning@gmail.com and you can email one another.
how about another old slooooow runner (12-15 minute mile) who wants to run at about 7:30?
