WEEKEND
By Alicia Procter

efore IRun there was no organized running group on
Saturdays in this side of the city, today there is no denying
the warm welcome and sense of camaraderie felt when you
walk into the parking lot of Salsa Fiesta on 30th and Biscayne
early Saturday morning. It is amazing being greeted by 30+ runners,
who have all dragged themselves out of bed, like you did, to be there
with the same goal, to run. Whether beginning runner or veteran, fast
or slow, in training mode or just there to get some exercise, the iRun
Company Saturday run is for everyone. Rest assure that if you forgot
your motivation at home, iRun co-owner Hector Arana, will serve you
up a quick pep talk to get your energy going. Be ready to flash those
pearly whites for a quick group photo, which you can later view on
Instagram or Facebook (@iruncompany @irunonline) to tag yourself,
and just like that the group is off running into the sunrise. Regardless of
your skill, speed or intention, iRun Company’s Saturday run is the place
you want to be. Mileage for each Saturday run varies depending on the
season, from 6 miles all the way to 23 miles during marathon training.
