Due to my interest and the interest of others on Meetup.com, I've decided to start this blog to help aide those of us interested in having a running group in the North Bethesda / Grosvenor area of DC metro.
I'm thinking that using a blog to plan runs should work fine -plus it's free (as opposed to forming a meetup.com group). If this group takes off and we think that a meetup.com group would be better then at that time (once it's somewhat established), then I'll start the meetup.com group, cool?
Anyway, the first order of business is to find a time and place/route to run. Normally, this would be easy, but given that it is getting darker earlier, if we want to run weekday evenings, then we need to either find a lit track, or run on some neighborhood streets with streetlights. If we want to run on the weekends (maybe the best option for now) then we can just meet maybe late morning or whatever when it is daylight and run where ever we want (neighborhoods, nearby Rock Creek Park, the Trolley Trail, the Capital Crescent Trail, etc).
Once Spring rolls around (assuming there is still interest & people) then we can regularly go on trail runs and what-not.
So, I'm going to go over, back to the Rockville runners meetup, and post the link to this blog.
Yay! I'm excited - running groups are great, it's be nice having one with new people and near where I live!
ok,
ciao,
Bill
Hey Bill,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the greeting the other day. I am interested in joining the running group you are trying to put together for the N. Bethesda/Grosvenor area. I am currently having to go through physical therapy for a running injury and am out of commission for the next 5 weeks. However, when I'm done I hope I can join you guys. If you decide to meet up outside of running let me know so I can take the opportunity to get to know everyone.
Thanks!
Monica
