After we decided to move to Orange Beach, I subscribed to their community newsletter. In it, they had an advertisement for their local running club. Ever since I started running 3 1/2 years ago, I have always run alone. It was my time of solitude which I looked forward to. But when I found out about this club, I wanted to check it out. One, it would be good for connecting with people in this community, and two, I thought it could help my running times and performance if I began to run with others.
I have run 4 times with the group, and I really like it, both the concept and the people in the group. We meet on Monday nights and run a nice 5k course. Afterward, we go to a local bar/restaurant, Calypso Joe's, which gives the running club free appetizers and half-priced pitchers of beer. It is a nice time to socialize and connect with the group.
Last night Shannon and the kids came with me. Shannon pushed Ava in the stroller and Jacob rode his bike. Afterwards, we went to Calypso Joe's, which is right off the marina. The showers cleared off and cool the evening off so the run felt good. Nice time all around.
