Get Ready to Run. Or Walk

Abby, our social media and web editor, and I want to invite any of you to join our TKTrotters walk/run group. Our first outing will be at 31st and Riverside tomorrow morning – that’s Wed., Sept. 15 – at 8:30 a.m. We’ll gather in the parking lot, then walk/run on the trail.

We want this to be a fun way to get a little exercise and connect with other moms. Strollers are, of course, welcome. Our initial plan is to meet this Wed. and next Wed. at the RiverParks location and walk or run about 3 miles, or the equivalent of a 5K. You can do as much or as little as you want. No pressure. Then, on Sept. 29, we’ll meet at the zoo at 8:30 to do the Zoo Run course. The Zoo Run is Sat., Oct. 2.

There are several other runs in the fall, and some of you have kids who are running or may want to run. We thought it would be fun to get a running/walking group together to get healthy, maybe run or walk in some of the runs, and have a reason to get out and get going.

This is for all levels, so don’t stay home. Join us on Wednesdays, Sept. 15 and 22 at the River and on Sept. 29 at the Zoo. Abby will be there with her son Bennett in his stroller and I’ll be there for those of you who want to run. We hope that there’s enough interest to make our weekly run/walks and on-going thing!
