haha! I have to admit I belong to a run club but there are a lot of seniors. The old ladies get kind of mad if you even talk to their husband, and their husbands know this and avoid eye contact. So no flirting at our run club! You are allowed to run very slowly and walk a lot, even. Last time somebody told me the whole story of her thru-hike on the AT. So it's also a talk club and a story-telling club. The coffee shop we go to afterwards employs handicapped people and nobody else is ever there. So it all seems ok. There are some youngish men there but they are so serious that they take off from the starting place and go hard and never talk with the rest of us!

I do actually enjoy running sometimes. The reason I started running again was that I had a bad dream where I couldn't run away from something scary. Maybe there should be "hiding club."

talk and story-telling club sounds lovely. even hiding club sounds far superior to run club!

Runners are just drug addicts you can't convince me otherwise

As someone who is a runner but absolutely LOATHES run clubs, this is the coolest and funniest thing I've seen. Let's bring back actually connecting with each other.

Thank you for calling out the bikes! Someone needed to say it.

Girl, you are an inspiration! Makes me want to attempt some whimsical events where I'm based.

Very funny, cool, and creative, but so unrelatable! I love moving!! I’m one of those squirming, knee jumping, popping up and down out of my seat kinds of people who needs a run and feels disordered if I sit too long. Unless, of course, I’m writing…
