Another Run Club night success…

Yep…another Wednesday night run…….

A Run Club run…..we had another great group…..12 joined us….a pretty sweet 5K-ish….a variety of paces, a perfect run club run….

I love this stuff…..easy, mapping out a route, chatting before and after….I think we socialized almost as long as the run afterwards…..that was great…..perfect even. a fantastic end to an evening, and I got to run yet again…the way this is supposed to be

This why this works, I need it to be social, I need company, and I need it to be fun…..and I always think that works for others……it’s why races and fun runs are a thing…..

I mapped out a route with a variety of terrain, some hills, some pavement, some off road…an easy loop, and I kept changing the route as we went to keep everyone that ran ahead on their toes and paying attention….and listening to me…

I always find it interesting that people just show up, and run…I pick the meet ups, the routes….and people just come…that’s the coolest thing ever. I’m not anything special, and sometimes it’s a bit of work, lots of looking, figuring out what’ll work for most..and never knowing ahead of time who’ll join in…will they all be the same pace, or close to it?…I never know ahead of time, so a lot of the time I’m improvising on the fly….but that’s part of the time…I spend a lot of time stairing at Map My Run

And there’s taking into account everyone’s goals……and trying to match runs to those…

I’ve 24 days until the Royal Victoria Half Marathon……24 days, that’s like 3 weeks…..I better get my sh*t together…….but I have to say, these 3 times a week Run Club runs, the long runs, the bike rides, the solo runs, strength training has me pretty much calm and set….

A good time of life…and glade I get to do this
