(Bring Your Own Lesbian) running days.

If you haven’t heard of the group before, they are an LGBT running group open to all fitness levels from walkers, to runners that are just starting out to experienced marathoners.  Their focus is to provide support, encourage fitness, and network within the LGBT community.  The atmosphere is friendly, but I’m sure if you’re of the competitive type, you could find a little bit of that as well!

The group meets on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 5:30 pm, and Saturday mornings at 10 am on the North shore of Lady Bird Lake underneath the Mopaq bridge (by the water and stretching area).  Runners are encouraged to show up 15 minutes ahead of time to warm up and stretch!

I know we’ve got some fitness freaks out there looking to join a fun group like this, so here’s the link if you want more info or want to register:
