My first group run with Black Girls Run was in August 2011 on an early Saturday morning with 70 other ladies running through the historic West End of Atlanta. The run was led by Temilola Sobomehin–otherwise known as Tes Sobo. Since then Tes has expanded her running ventures and started “Runningnerds”. Runningnerds mission is to provide a forum, resource, and service for the contemporary running community.
Runningnerds is sponsoring a few relay teams and half marathoners for the Mercedes Marathon in Birmingham, Alabama on Sunday, Feb 12. I’m a part of team HOTLANTA HOTTIES with Tyana, Sheree, Donna, and Tiffany. We submitted our application to be one of the runningnerd sponsored teams and WHOOHOO!!! WE WERE CHOSEN! So we have the priviledge of supporting Tes and the mission of runningnerds! Yay us!!!
Check out Tes and runningnerd nation at www.runningnerdnation.com. The group is also on facebook and twitter. And don’t forget about the My First 5K and My First Half Marathon groups on facebook!!
See ya on the pavement!
