I was lucky enough to snag a spot on the ReebokRallyDC team yesterday. The event was originally supposed to be ReebokRunsDC but there was a little mix up between an intern at Reebok and the event organizer. The shoes sent to the organizer were not really made for running, so he improvised and had us do a brisk walk down H Street, NE, then we did a few cardio moves to really get the heartbeat pumping. Afterwards, we went to Po Boy Jim for a celebratory drink. I really wanted a shrimp po boy but the way my diet is set up, I couldn't do it :(
Despite the mixup, this was an awesome event. I went by myself and ended up meeting some pretty cool people. In 2016 we do not exchange numbers anymore,we just start following each other on social media. I look forward to doing something with them again.
Thanks to Anwaa of DCWKLY for organizing this event, the drink and for the FREE gear! We received a pair of Reebok Classics and a workout outfit for free. Who does not love free gear?!?
