After a great run last weekend, we are adding Sole Runners in Long Beach to our list of RMF running groups.

Last week, lead by Lisa Suen, RMF athlete and super-volunteer, I ran with this group for the first time and was blown away. This was my first experience with Chi Running and I have to say it was completely bizarre and overwhelmingly beautiful. For reasons I am still trying to understand, this community is unlike any group I have run with so far–they seems to be bound together with stronger, more family like ties than I have experienced to date.

Though I was the only barefoot runner (and not 5-finger barefoot, but actually no-shoes barefoot) I felt completely accepted and supported and was able to run farther than I have to date on my first barefoot run on concrete. Because of the warmth and welcoming nature of this close group, I  have decided to sign up to run with them every weekend.If you would like to come along and run too, please do! The more the merrier.
