As a member of the Black Girls RUN - BOSTON community, I am
glad to hear the organisation has released its
If the name isn't self explanatory enough.....here is
what the organisation is all about
About Black Girls RUN!
Black Girls RUN! is a national running group
launched in 2009 by Toni Carey and Ashley
Hicks. The organization has grown to include
more than 65 running groups across the nation
with more than 55,000 members. The group was
created to combat the obesity epidemic among
women in the African- American community and
dispel the myth that black women do not run.
The groups include beginner and experienced
runners and provide a support system to help
members reach their fitness goals.
Black Girls RUN!
provides a community and inspires all women to
run.

There are running groups is major cities across the US. I believe most of them also have a face book group where they organize runs by neighborhoods.
I know in the Boston group, runners get together for races and other events.
I will definitely encourage all my black girls out there to check it out. Research to find out if your city /neighborhood has a group.
There is a fine delicate line between being "curvy" but healthy and just plain old unhealthy fat.
Unfortunately some people misunderstand that difference.
So check out the 2013 schedule and try out one of the races with a friend.
And even if groups do not exist in your town, find other fitness activities and groups to tryout.

And old pic of me running! I don't know how actors make it look good in the movies or models in fitness magazines. When I run, things that shouldnt be moving, bouge. It's like an isolate tsunami and there's nothing sexy about it.
