Look what I got today that was patiently waiting in my box? A book that came highly recommended by a new friend. The Runner’s Handbook: The Bestselling Classic Fitness Guide for Beginning and Intermediate Runners. I am already five chapters in. So far, so good.
With me having BEEN a runner in the past, I am familiar with what is being said in this book. Trust and believe that I still have a serious need for the advice in these pages. The author has been at it for years. He and his wife conduct classes and sit on boards for multiple running clubs. They are the real deal!
I am slowly but surely getting back into this running gig. The weather is superb so I can’t use that as an excuse. Lol. I’ve joined a Facebook group for the DC chapter of Black Girls Run. Currently I’m trying to get a small group together in my area so we can run at least three times a week. There’s also a standing running date Saturday mornings in The Mall. I may join that one a few times a month. There is also the DC Roadrunners club. I’m thinking about joining that as well. See? Slowly but surely. 🙂
I’m pretty much hooked to this book. I wouldn’t be surprised if I reference it many a times in the future. The author welcomes everyone to abuse the book as much as we need to. As long as we’re out there running…and enjoying every minute of it.
Are any of you runners? If you’re in the DC area, where are your fav spots to run? Do you belong to any clubs?
