This morning, I got out and 'wunned' 5 miles (abt 1:13:00, abt 14.6/min, 774) on the park trail with a great group of ladies in my hometown - Black Girls Run (http://www.blackgirlsrun.com/).
While some people may feel intimidated (or even uncomfortable), you shouldn't. Health and wellness particularly in the African American community is at a serious state in this country - obesity, diabetes, and heart disease alone are at disproportionately high rates among African American women. I hope people outside can appreciate the motivation behind the movement. I truly admire BGR creators Ashley Hicks and Toni Carey for being such visionaries. Many similar health-conscious movements ( have sprung up since, which can only benefit our community.
Let's keep PRESERVING THE SEXY!
FOR ANY WOMEN INTERESTED IN MAINTAINING (OR REGAINING) FITNESS AND GOOD HEALTH. FEEL FREE TO SHARE IDEAS, THOUGHTS, OPINIONS, ETC. JUST BE RESPECTFUL AND NON-JUDGMENTAL.
