I thought I'd let you know about a group new ladies running group that's going to start in Dinas Powys this week. Vickie and David Woodsford are starting this run group from scratch, here's their introduction from their running blog:
Welcome to Greenfield Runners. If you know us already then you'll know we are both keen amateur athletes. If you don't know us yet then please come along to our first run and introduce yourself. With the country being gripped by Olympic excitement, what better time to commit to get fit? With this in mind both Dai and I have signed up to a few projects for 2012, but this is definitely our most exciting one. As a relative newbie to this running malarkey I understand well that it is all to easy not to get those trainers on and get out there. It is tricky for ladies in particular to run alone after work both for motivation and safety reasons. So we would like to run with you and get you started.
How will it work? Well, we will meet at our dental practice every Wednesday evening (starting 22/2/12) at 5.30-5.45 pm and we'll go for a run. It really is that simple. We really are committed to helping anyone. There is no-one too slow or too unfit. If you're medically fit to exercise that's the only qualification you need.
There are loads of other benefits too. Every 6 weeks or so we will be having a guest speaker join us after our run. While we have some water and an orange wedge (or more likely a glass of wine and a cake!) an expert in their field will introduce the group to another type of fitness they might like to try. It will be an informal chat and should be a bit of fun that can show our members what facilities are available in our community.
There is no membership fee, no charge for our speakers or refreshments and no formal commitment required. We'd just like you to come along and enjoy yourself. If you'd like to progress onto a goal then we will commit to coming to your first parkrun 5k race and running it with you, if not and you'd just like to come on a Wednesday for a chat and a pootle around Dinas/Penarth then we'd love to see you.
