"My goal has always been to introduce other people to running, they might accomplish something they never thought they could." ~Grete Waitz, Norwegian Marathon runner and former world record holder.
I found this quote today and it has been true for me the last two yrs. I started Dallas.OR.Running.Club to help people see that they can do much more than they think they can. I love working with the women that come. I have had women come, walk, run, race, and drop out. Even if it doesn't work out for everyone, it brings me great joy when a women comes and gets stronger and starts to realize she can do things she didn't think her body could.
I started running three years ago. I have goon though lots of ups and lots of downs. I have had more "bad" days and more "bad" races than "good." I have had to work through several injuries from not always doing things right. All-in-all, though the good and the bad, I just try and stay consistent and surround myself with people who keep me encouraged. As I look back at the last three years on paper, I see how much stronger I have gotten from year to year. It really does pay off!
Dallas.OR.Running.Club is open to all fitness levels, men and women (ages 13+ please). We are currently meeting on Tuesday evenings at 7:00pm if you would like to check us out! We are done by 8:00pm. This is a free fitness club. Be sure and bring a flashlight, it's dark out at this time now!
