Get a Go Bag.

Scheduling worked out so that last Friday the Hembree running group got together for our first run since the summer. One of the regular members didn't get the impromptu message from the night before about the plan to run. She woefully missed out.

Last spring I encouraged the group to pack a "go bag.” This includes a tee shirt, shorts, underwear, socks and an old pair of running shoes. The idea is to keep a packed bag in the trunk of your car. I rehashed this concept with the gal who missed the memo, and in the process realized I had not packed shorts in my bag for the day. Luckily I had a "go bag” in the trunk of Shannan's car, with very ugly shorts. It served as a further example.

Hard core runners might want to include a watch, water bottle, towel in the BAG. Really serious folks will want to have a secondary “go bag” in the trunk of your significant other’s car.

Be ready to go. Run.
