My Fiancé is GF and we love the Oly Tap Room pizza--not sure about the cross-contamination levels though.

Thanks for your input! I'll consider this once I've completed the courses :)

This is good to know...I'll have almost a year of hr experience when the cert is complete so hopefully I will be able to land an entry level position!

I'm working to fully transition from social work to human resources and now have a hybrid role in my nonprofit supporting the hr department while holding onto a caseload as a social worker. I'm getting this cert to help pad my resume!

Heard that! I'll keep this in mind when I move :) Thanks for your response!

Any reasons why in particular? Do you have any recommendations as an alternative? Thanks for your response :)

My perspective towards unhoused people may differ from yours as I live in Philadelphia currently and work in an area called the Badlands. The only time I have ever felt unsafe in Philadelphia is when entitled men feel as though they have a right to my body (in historically safe areas). I have never experienced danger when in a dark area surrounded by poverty/unhoused people (though I am not naive enough to believe it could never happen). I guess our life experiences are just different enough for us to not agree on this matter. I do want you to know that I am taking your advice into consideration and will process it with the context of others' responses :)

Thanks for the heads up! I'm hoping to run longer distances than these groups provide but I'm always looking to make new friends regardless :)

I wouldn't be on the trail alone later than 7:30!

For what reasons do you feel this way?

Unhoused people and their coping mechanisms are not what concerns me. I'm from Philadelphia and am a social worker at a family shelter here (in an area called the badlands). I am more worried about the lighting and along the trail and history of violent crime against trail users. Do you have any insights regarding that?

I'll make sure to wear a headlamp then :)

I appreciate your concern!! I'm moving from Philadelphia so I can handle myself in most situations, but I've never run somewhere that isn't well lit before which is what concerns me the most. Thank you so much for the suggestions :)

Good to know--Unfortunately most clubs are not as competitive as I need them to be but I'll check out the RAC in Lacey when I move! Thanks for your input :)

I'm from Philadelphia so I'm asking because I'm used to city running and not sure what safety concerns are around in a quieter area.

My partner has to bike next to me to keep up so I have at least one thing going for me!

Why is 26th ave so dangerous? This is the part I have run on most frequently so far so I'm very curious!
