Fit Tip Friday: Why You Should Join a Run Club. Or Not.

September 26, 2014 By Jessie Benson Leave a Comment

I often post about how much I love my run club.  I don’t go there as often or consistently as I used to, but I am always glad when I do. So many great memories over the past four years have involved the run club and the friends I have made there. So, you probably know that I’m a huge proponent of a run club. If we ever had to move to a new city, the first thing I would do is find a run Continue Reading

Phil is originally from England but has lived in the Cayman Islands (lucky!) since 1995 with his wife Claire and their dog Sydney. Phil ran his first (and what was supposed to be only) marathon in Continue Reading

Well, of course I bought one. Yes! Continue Reading
