A Saturday morning run with friends followed brunch? Sign me up!
This morning, I joined The Most Informal Running Club Ever (TMIRCE) for a lovely 4-mile run by the Charles River. Some of the folks from Reach the Beach Relay planned to attend, so they invited our RTB team to join the group for a run.
Here I am withĀ 1/3 of ourĀ relay team:Ā Bridget, Elizabeth, and Patricia from Team āOff BalanceāĀ!
TMIRCE meets weekly for Saturday morning runs. They meet at City Sports on Comm Ave and offer 3, 5 or 6 mile loops around the area. They’re a fun group and everyone was really friendly!

At 10:30, the group headed outside to kick-off the run.
With a crack of a gong!!
Love it! I’m telling ya, this running group is fun!
I ran with Elizabeth, Bridget, and Patricia. It was a chilly, but sunny morning.
And really windy! It was actually pretty crazy at timesāāI thought I was going to get blown off of the Mass Ave bridge! Ha!
Four miles done!
After our run, we headed to brunch at Eastern Standard. I’m not sure whose idea it was, but it was an awesome one. I love Eastern Standard.
To start, I ordered a cappuccino.
And then a cheese omelet with French fries and greens for my entrĆĀ©e. I was craving cheese, so this meal was perfect.
And now I’m going to park my butt on my couch for the rest of the evening.
Enjoy your Saturday night, friends!

It’s really cold and windy here today too.
I love that you got fries with an omelet, I swear I could eat fries at every meal!
Yay, Go Team! Wish I could’ve been there to join š
That sounds like fun. I love the name of the running club. It makes running sound like fun! It’s been crazy windy here as well. Can’t wait for spring weather.
Wow, I am thoroughly impressed at the fact you guys ran today – the wind in Boston made it hard to walk!! Great job:)
How awesome! Turns out my sister in law knows Patricia quite well! I would love to be a part of this running club. š
That sounds like an awesome running club! It’s right near my apt. in Brighton and sounds like it’s low key and low pressure. Love Eastern Standard – so good!!
I could not get over how windy it was today!
I spent a little bit of time on the couch today – and will also be spending the rest of the evening there.
Looks like a great run! Gorgeous views too! š
Love the name of that running group—sounds right up my alley!
mmmm french fries š
Looks like fun! It’s great that you join these clubs!!
What a fun morning! How cool that you meet up with so many runners and find events–way to go š I too am parking my butt on the couch. SO.tired.
Love french fries for breakfast!! You are very brave running in windy wheather, I cant even work straight!
I used to live right near that City Sports at Packard’s Corner! I miss Boston š
Sounds like a fun group! I’m planning on starting up with my local running group soon for Saturday morning runs. Great way to start the day!
Love the fries AND salad with the omelet…best of both worlds!
Sounds like a nice way to spend your Saturday morning! Hope you had a great day š
I had a four-miler scheduled for today, too, but although it was super sunny and pretty out, it was just too darn cold and windy. I wussed out – which means I’ll be heading out tomorrow. š
it was crazy windy out there today! I can’t believe you ran over the river with those gusts! Good for you!!
That looks like so much fun! I ran with a running group a couple times in college and, at the time, I was way too worried about being too slow, but now I think I’d be able to just relax and enjoy it š
All that cheesy goodness looks great!
It was crazy windy here too (and at one point started flurrying!) – good for you for getting out and doing a run! I thought about it and was like “nope!” Haha
That running group looks like a blast! Too bad my training run was done on the treadmill, blasting music to try to distract me, and counting down each second. Yours seems much more up my alley!
That looks like such a fun time! I’ve always wanted to try running with a running group, but I’ve never tried connecting with one. Maybe this spring when I start running outdoors again I’ll look into it. š
Haha, Tina! I love the gong! Too funny. Love all the pictures! Looks like you had a great time!
Here I am making a fancy Sunday night dinner and all I want now are fries and an omelet. Yum! Love the gong!
Looks fun Tina! Running with friends is the best.
What a small world – Patricia and I went to high school together in California!
Hi Tina. This is Andy, the gonger from Saturday. It was great getting to meet you and the team yesterday. Of course it goes without saying, you and your lovely readership are always welcome to join us for some running and Saturday brunch!
@Andy: Thanks so much for having me on Saturday! I had a great time with you guys! š
I think I recognize some of those sites from when I did a bike tour in Boston last spring! I could be making that up though since it was a whirlwind. I definitely recognize the river.
It looks like a really fun running group.
Those fries look amazing. Fries are my weakness so I gave them up for my new years resolution. I am sure I’ll be making a stop at a bar next Jan 1 to enjoy a bowl of waffle fries and seasoned sour cream dip š
A four-mile run around the river with friends, followed by a yummy breakfast? Sounds like a wonderful Sunday morning š
Note to self: wear a longer shirt next time i pretend to be one side of a goal post. Good luck with your RTB training! -a
Great post Tina and really good to meet you in person. Keep up the great work with the team, it’s awesome to read about all the training. And keep coming back to TMIRCE too whenever possible!
I can’t believe I had the wrong day in my head!!! I had a black tie event on Friday and was too hungover when I realized I had the wrong day… oops. Next time I will be there and I have been dying to try Eastern Standard for Brunch!!
