Truckee has a New Running Club!

I have been running on and off for roughly 10 years, almost always alone, so when my neighbor Lucia Lake decided to create a local running group on Yahoo!Groups, I was thrilled and immediately signed up. Within one month of originating, the group has nearly 60 members and regularly scheduled runs of all types every week. This is great news for anyone who is sick of their iPod music and is game for meeting like-minded people who enjoy a little fresh air now and then. The group also lists events on the calendar, like upcoming running events/races and local socials. The first social is coming up May 24th at 50/50 Brewery. Bring the family and get to know other local runners of all ages and abilities, from Olympic hopefuls to the new mom workin' that stroller! For more information, or to become a member, go to:
