Running is a great way to improve physical health but it can be a catalyst for new friendships.

Really we run because we want to log some miles and the bonus is we run with friends.

When you need an example of how to run, go watch a kid, one that someone hasn't tried to teach to run.

The Firecracker Chase 10.2 mile race is one of my favorites. It is well run and the on-course support is some of the best of any race I have run.

The alarm startled me out of my sleep but what I heard next was the sound of pouring rain. I quickly began to think, "wonder if anyone is going to show up for the Breakfast Club Run."

In the summer

  • that easy 9:30 training pace may now be 10:00 or 10:15.  Same effort different pace.
  • the 10-mile race run in March at a 7:50 pace may be an 8:30 pace in June.

I will not be running tomorrow, Wednesday, morning. But I will be running on Thursday morning with my Breakfast Club Run friends.

However, running with friends is just the opposite. You get out of bed because people are waiting on you and the miles seem to go faster when most of it is spent in conversation.

The Breakfast Club Run starts from the same place each week, Fleet Feet Huntsville. However, every week is different and that's my fault.

This month we are completing one year of Breakfast Club Runs.  What started as a limited group of Wednesday morning runs last summer has evolved into a regular Thursday morning runs.

Been a while, a lot of years since I have been able to celebrate my sister’s birthday with her. Glad my business travel bought me to Charlotte so that trend is broken.
Let’s roast some peppers.
