Yesterday was my first meetup with the facebook running group I started. My friend Sonia whom I haven’t seen since 2005 when we moved from Hawaii showed up and a local neighbor. There was a total of 5 of us (the other two being my husband and son). The guys set off and did an in and out to the river and back for a total of 6 miles and the girls did a run/walk/run method for 3.1 miles. It was super fun to catch up and burn calories at the same time! We hope to see our group grow and to make it a weekly meetup.
Since I am in a new town and have had great success with networking through facebook I thought I would look at that little tab that suggest groups that I should join. One caught my interest called Jacksonville moms run this town. I was like hmm I will request and ad and see if it a group that is good for me. Once I was approved I started reading some of the posts and there are alot of runners and looks like nurses in the group so I was happy. One of the posts was for a last call to complete a ragnar team. My heart started racing as I quickly replied asking what pace they needed etc. I emailed the point of contact and asked if it was a co-ed team and if so my husband would love to join as well. I am happy and frightened all at the same time, but yes we have paid and are officially headed to our first Ragnar Relay!!!! Thankfully I have 10 months to train and get my pace needed, and since Todd is such a great runner I get to “borrow” some of his leftover pace lol! We will be runners 5 & 6 which means we will be in the same van. Super excited!!! We can not wait to watch the documentary From Fat to Finish Line. I highly recommend checking them out, they are amazing and help keep me motivated.
Yay! So glad you saw the post and are joining the team!! It's going to be a blast! We'll start some team training runs & dinners soon!
