"Walk , Jog, Run" groups in Philly

SeeEmRun2012

Hey all you Pennsylvanians!
I would like to know what you all think about a "Walk,Jog,Run" Group getting started in the Philly area. It would basically be a group of women or men or men and women who get together once a week/month to decide on a route and walk,jog,and run as a group. It's been proven that it is always easier to push yourself to achieve your goals when you have outside support from peers. It can always be a great way for the community to get together and get to know one another. Let me know what you think.Thanks

Any runners in this group?

This year I set myself up with a goal (being a non-runner) to run a 5k. Well, I got into it and have run 3, and shaved time off my miles each time. However, I am really not a huge running fan. I'm more of a music-blasting-instructor-yelling-class type of girl.

I totally get you there. Every once in awhile i get in this groove of wanting to improve my miles but i'm a dancing queen for sure and there's nothing like jamming out and burning calories. I would love to be a consistent runner though. At least 5 miles...one day!

maaaybe, depends on how crazy busy my spring semester is. I don't have a car and SEPTA is such a pain.

Alright great news! Don't worry, I don't have a car either and i'm full time work part time school so it's gonna be a pain for me too but i'm sure if we try to go for Saturdays/Sundays we could work it out. Maybe then if people started getting into it, then shoot for a week day when it isn't too conflicting with schedules. I'll have to work out the kinks. But i'm sure it'll be great...tell your friends get the word out! PHILLY RUNNERS KICK *kitten*
