We are looking for a fun group who are looking for group fitness options in the north suburbs. We will initially do trail walk/run/jog.  As it becomes warmer, we will take advantage of as many of the nearby fitness opportunities as the group initiates. We won't leave you behind - we are geared first to back-of-the pack athletes. The general area we will visit (but won't be bound to) is the north suburbs of the Twin Cities- Anoka, Coon Rapids, Lino Lakes, Hugo, White Bear.

If you run, you are a runner. It doesn’t matter how fast or how far. It doesn’t matter if today is your first day or If you’ve been running for twenty years. There is no test to pass, no license to earn, No membership card to get.  You just run. ~  John “The Penguin” Bingham This meetup has regularly scheduled runs around lakes in the area, along the river, and on some local trails. Most of the lakes are about 3 miles around, but we often link them together or go around twice. The river r …

This is a group for anyone who wants to bicycle (or tricycle) on level trails for short distances with lots of rests. I have arthritis in my knee and was sad because hiking was banned by my doctor. But he also wants me to lose weight! My bicycle no longer feels stable so I found something called the Terra Trike which feels very stable and comfortable for me. I can ride limited distances -- only 4 or 6 miles for now is just fine for me. Although I would like to get up to 10 miles. I am 66 years o …

No degree of separation. No fame. Just writers writing. Authentic. Whimsical. Vulnerable. "It's all true, none of it's true, don't ask." We often spend too much time thinking about writing instread of writing. Our group meets to spend time writing. After we get our coffee, we pick a prompt (phrases, pictures) and a time …

This is a group for women who want to get together for a variety of activities that, while different in nature, will all lead to self-growth. I envision having a monthly meeting that could start with a book discussion (authors like Eckhart Tolle, Louise Hay, Don Miguel Ruiz, Deepak Chopra, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Wayne Dyer, Bruce Lipton...), followed by a meeting where we go for a hike in the Arboretum, Como Park, Minnehaha Falls or a forest out of the cities. Another meeting might be a meditatio …

I enjoy going for a run at a very leisurely pace but I don't run on a consistent basis.  I'd like to blame it on a busy schedule but the real culprit is lack of discipline. I'm looking for a small group of women who will provide each other with motivation, encouragement and accountability. Every week, I would like to schedule one evening run during the week and one morning run on the weekend. Most runs will be in Cottage Grove or nearby. It might also be fun to register for a few local races or, …

Maybe it will be the next event.
