First things first.

So this week I discovered something pretty awesome. My first new friends here= the Birmingham Track Club. They meet everyday of the week in a different location, and you can run anywhere from 3-8+ miles with the group. All ages, all people, all paces. And there's water and gatorade throughout the course.

I was hesitant never having done something like this, but desperate to find a good run outside. And it was GREAT. Kinda like a mini race. But free. Definitely a highlight of the week for me.
