Our original WARC (Watertown Area Run Club) picture! Carefree…just a bunch of people getting together because we like to run. This week has brought up many of those times over the years that reminded meof the fun involved with this. We need to remember to learn to have fun with our activities/exercise now more than ever. I will start first with our Wednesday evening run club gathering. My daughter Megan and I were having fun at the Zoo where they put up some caution tape. It was not there when we started, and 40 minutes later, it was up. So, we pretended we were racing and getting ready to cross the finish line .
We even did another where Megan was pretending to fall, or at least look like I tripped her! (interpret for yourself!)
Saturday brought a few different things. Sarah and Erika were helping Jenn run and train for her upcoming marathon. Jill was riding the bike along side.
Patricia and Paula were in Castlewood competing in a 5k run. They were working, and running together.
But when we run together, we have fun together. We cheer each other on, keep pushing each other to the finish. We can talk, laugh, joke…today was talking about “Pizza lady” at the lake a week ago ( I will leave it at this for now…you had to run with us to hear the inside story on this one!). It is not about exercise. It is about spending time together, supporting each other, spending time with friends, who just happen to like exercising/running!
We are learning from each other all of the time. Here are a few more pictures of us in the past, where we are posing and goofing around taking pictures after we get done running.
Whether we all just “died” on the run, or practicing “snow ballet”, we have fun! Some of the best parts of the week are running with my friends. Carefree, laughing, and forgetting about all of life’s other issues at the time. And best of all, making memories!
So get out there and move, and have fun! Join us anytime for run club. Watertown also has a walk club as well. Get somebody to walk or work out with you, and if you can’t, then take the scenic route out on the bike trail by the lake and walk and take in all of the beauty! Just remember to keep having fun! Keep moving everybody!
