This group is for women in the Williamsburg/Greenpoint area who like running. It'll be a pretty casual group with runs happening once a week or so. I started it so that (1) I could become friends with some cool running ladies in the hood, (2) I could have some extra motivation to run on those more lethargic mornings and nights and (3) running with other people is fun!   Runs will be pretty laid-back.
