Hey everyone, new to the group but not to Philly and living in the Fairmount area. I am trying this on for the first time. For my running experience, I used to run track in highschool and college, but have fallen off the wagon in the last few years. Trying to integrate an outdoor activity into my regular workout routine. Would consider myself more of a controlled environment runner (gym treadmill) rather than an ‘outdoors in the elements’ runner, so I’m excited to try this out during Philly's biggest summer heat wave :).

Just happens that the 5mile run is tonight here in Philly. Hoping to see your friendly faces there! Also if you see me struggling -have mercy! 😄
