The Return of the Fleet Feet Metairie annual spring run group! We will be meeting Tuesdays and Thursdays 7pm @ Bonnabel Boat Launch (1599 Bonnabel Blvd, Metairie 70005). We will have two different running programs to help you with your fitness goals! First a beginner 5K program for those looking to get into running for the first time or get back into it after a long hiatus. This is designed to slowly build up your stamina and form to help you tackle a 5K.  Our other program is going to be an intermediate 10K program, for runners looking to add some distance and speed to their workouts. This program is meant to help those who have some 5K experience but are looking to improve further. Neither program locks you in and during the run group you are welcome to do the workouts for either group. Both programs will have coaching available to help with your form, breathing, and training goals. We'll also have some special events with prizes and goodies for all participants!  So come joi
