Running Around

AAB reader Donna Orr wrote this week to tell me about a new running club she is working to get going in Brownsville. And, since I know lots of AAB readers jog/run, I thought I'd pass on the info ASAP. Here, in Donna's words, are the details.

"As my husband, Tom, and I run around town – as in a fast jog – we notice that many people in Brownsville enjoy the sport of running. With so many runners/joggers/fitness walkers in our town, why not pull everyone together for fun, camaraderie and some light hearted competition for the more serious runners?

Over the past few years we have talked about forming a running group here and the response has been great, however, up until now, those of us who want to do this haven’t followed through with action. No more procrastinating! It is time for runners/joggers/fitness walkers and anyone else who wants to join to come together!

We will meet for the first time at Key Corner Park on Saturday morning, March 21st at 9 am. Be ready to run/jog/walk. We have several routes mapped out around Brownsville (2 miles and over) so there will be a route for everyone. You don’t have to be a runner to join us, choose your route and walk or enjoy walking laps at the track. Getting together once a week as a group will be fun, motivating and educational for all who are interested in this type of physical fitness.

If you would like to add your name to yet-to-be-officially-named Brownsville Runners Club, please contact me at (731) 772-8340 to be added to our email list. Or better yet, just meet us at Key Corner Park on Saturday mornings at 9 beginning March 21st!"
