"I am so happy I have found this group and I know that others would feel the same way after their first meetup! My first run today was awesome- everyone was friendly, very encouraging, and there was a process in order to ensure safety. You will run further than you think you can, enjoy fresh air, be awarded for your running, and meet nice new people, all before 11am! =)"

No matter your age or your history or running, whether it is your first run or you are a season runner, you will find others like you. They are a great group of women to know socially and on the run! Wendy runs the group really well and the reminders give you the extra motivation that you may need to get up on a Saturday morning!"

The goal was to get out and meet a group of people that I could feel welcomed and comfortable around and with whom I could share my goals. You will not go it alone with this wonderful group of ladies. They hang in there with you. The change of venues makes it easy for ladies to participate regardless of where in Orlando you live.

  "Why should other join this group? Well the hard part is getting out of bed :-)) but once you are out there, believe me, there is nothing better than starting your day networking with other who's passion is the same as yours plus you get the burn calories in the process. It's a win win situation. Also, its true, everyone runs at their own pace! Plus everyone checks in and out which is a great way to stay safe. There is definitely no downside to this event."  - Jocelyn
