I did it! I joined a running club! I was so nervous too, so scared I’d be put to shame by the running elite. However, I fit in just fine and to top it off, I loved it. The Run Club is downtown at the Denver Pavilion with NikeTown. Everyone was so friendly and kind and easy to chat with. It was a really great atmosphere and I made a new friend whom I ran just over 3 miles (about 5 km) with and it was great! There were some really yummy refreshments afterwards (made it all worth it baby) and lots of water and vitamin water. The last Tuesday of each month there’s a draw and the lucky winner receives new shoes! Each Tuesday is an opportunity to enter the draw (hello motivation) and that’s one of my goals – to win a pair of shoes. Another great thing is that I received a coupon for 30% off at the Nike stores this weekend, which is so great since I really could use some more gear. Badly.
Downside: I came home to a starving husband. The Run Club started at 5:30 and I was home at 8pm. Conor had eaten only muffins in that time and hadn’t had any dinner. There were no leftovers and he didn’t make anything. Poor guy! I’m going to have to make sure that there are leftovers to eat on Tuesdays or something easy to make! Oh, I told Conor that I feel so healthy and he told me he likes it when I feel healthy because then I feel happy.
