WEBVTT >> MEETING NEW PEOPLE AND FINDING NEW FRIENDS CAN BE HARD TO DO, BUT WHEN YOU’RE DOING IT AND GETTING FIT AT THE SAME TIME I THINK THAT’S A PRETTY SWEET DEAL. WE ARE FEATURING ANOTHER PROGRAM IN PORTLAND THIS WEEK, I’M JOINED NOW BY LESLIE BALENTINE WITH THE OLD PORT PUB RUN. WE ARE OUTSIDE OF LIQUID RIOT BREWERY, WHICH IS WHERE YOU GUYS MEET BEFORE AND END YOUR RUNS EACH WEEK. >> CORRECT. >> THAT IS UNIQUE, USUALLY PEOPLE ARE RUNNING THROUGH A PARK AND THEY’RE NOT GOING TO A BAR. >> TRUE, IT’S A UNIQUE VENUE FOR EXERCISE, BUT THEY’VE BEEN VERY GOOD TO US. >> YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS, STILL RELATIVELY NEW BUT YOU GUYS HAVE GROWN A LOT RECENTLY, TELL ME WHAT IS IT LIKE FOR YOU GUYS, WHAT DO YOU DO? >> THERE ARE ABOUT 40 PEOPLE IN THE SUMMER, MAYBE A LITTLE SMALLER ABOUT 30 PEOPLE IN THE WINTER. WE MEET HERE, HAVE A FEW ANNOUNCEMENTS, GO FOR A RUN REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER SO WE ARE A YEAR-ROUND GROUP AND WHEN WE’RE ALL FINISHED, WE COME BACK HERE AND HAVE A BEER OR TW >> BEING SOCIAL IS IMPORTANT AND ALSO BEING FIT.
