Real Medicine Running Group, Thursday Evenings in Beverly Hills

June 01, 2010 - United States

Real Medicine Running Group:

Every Thursday, 6:30 pm
Nike Store*
9560 Wilshire Boulevard
Beverly Hills, CA 90212
(310) 275-9998

*note: the group meets in the alley behind the store–but, don’t worry, according to Emmanuel: "it’s an alley in Beverly Hills so it is a really nice alley."

One thing that we have learned in our first year building a running team is the importance of community, the importance of sharing your journey from the moment you buy your first pair of running shoes to the moment when you cross the finish line of your first race. When you run, especially when you are first starting out, it takes people to help you along the way. Keeping this in mind, we have created weekly running groups with the first group running each Thursday evening in Beverly Hills.

Becoming your own Hero: Getting Started

When you begin to run, as you would expect, over time you might notice that your clothing fits differently or that increased distances become easier. But what you might not expect is the dramatic change in your state of mind.

Each day that you choose to walk or run you are investing in yourself and becoming more of what you want to be. By giving yourself the time and permission to dream of new personal records or completing a 5k, you are making sure that there is hope in your life. Instead of looking backwards, you are assuring yourself that the best is yet to come.

At the heart, the real changes are in how you think about yourself. By discovering your limitations and then overcoming them, you can learn to be your own hero. And that, for most of us, is the biggest change of all.

For now though, all you have to do is try. Get out there put one foot in front of the other just to see where it takes you. Sign up for the team
