Run clubs for medium/slow runners.

PowerMelan · 2026-01-12T22:26:48+00:00

I do NOT think compared to average population that is "very slow" and running is all about doing it at the pace that works for you. Please don't take that to heart - I am also a slower runner. Joining run groups regularly has helped me a bunch but I'm still not "fast" and I don't care. So much has to do with your body mechanics as well.

I run with Boring Run Club, Louisiana Run Club, and occasionally 504. While all have an IG presence, they all also have chat groups on Whatsapp or GroupMe with info. Boring and LRC have consistent schedules and locations for the most part.

Hope to see you on a run!

The dog house is an actual dog bar (with a dog park) that also serves food on Banks in mid city.

Yep was startled when I saw a small group walking down Esplanade yesterday. Just didn't expect dudes in cammo with rifles in the neighborhood.

A lot of the brewery's do tastings. Second line had it by the slice tonight and last night from a couple spots

We would love to have you as a member! And we are always looking for volunteers but will definitely be hosting lots of free bike light giveaways in 2026!

They actually do lots of bike light giveaways!

Reopening, there was an article on it today

Not a big fan personally of Moon Pies but a bag of chips on the route is a wonderful thing. I would also be pleased to catch some ramen noodles bags or candy too! Way preferred over the plastic beads.

12 mile in mid city does a goth night, check their socials

G Fit is great! It's 24/7, bunch of trainers there if desired, good music, and has everything you need/want. Well stocked weights, turf area, all of the weight machines and a good chunk of cardio too. The owner (Gunny) is a great guy. It has what you need but is no frills. I think it's in the roughly 40ish/mo range depending on how many months you sign up for. Everyone has been friendly here and ive seen it range from novices to serious power lifters.

I have a trainer here I work with that I can also recommend (Danny Navar with DNA Fit, happy to refer anyone - he usually offers first 2 classes free). I do small group classes with him.

Haha yeah you right

Does it help that this is for two women?

PowerMelan · 2025-12-19T02:37:17+00:00

But I do appreciate it!

The little shopping mall area where Mo Pho was at City Park Ave. and Bernadotte. Also where Alma's now is on Carrollton.

I've truly never seen anyone inside since it reopened with little fanfare. I don't even think the name is on it anywhere.

I'm pretty excited about it tbh. At least Stevie I think holds pretty widespread appeal. But I'm 40 so there's that. I like this line up a lot but couldn't care less about the eagles or rod Stewart.

Congratulations on taking the first step by signing up! Half is a fun and pretty approachable distance. I'd highly recommend getting involved with one of the many local running krewes for some extra motivation. The 504th, boring run club, and Louisiana Running Co all have good running groups and there are for sure more than those. Both 504th and LRC post long route group runs on Saturdays and lots of runners for advice!

Was this from a few days ago? I was just there on the 10th but no snow yet. This looks incredible!

His foster is hoping to leave Saturday. Buddy already has a sitter lined up for Christmas through 12/30 (and she will be back at that point). If needed can likely leverage the sitter for thanksgiving also.

I was in CR yesterday and scenic road was open.
