S1: Welcome in San Diego , it's Jade Hindman. Today we are focusing our show on wellness. We'll tell you about a running club providing an inclusive space to get moving. This is Midday Edition , connecting our communities through conversation. Welcome back. You're listening to Kpbs Midday Edition. I'm Jade Hindman. A running club by and for women of color has taken off in south San Diego. More than 500 people have run with Santa mujeres since it began in 2020.
S2: I actually started running to kind of lose some weight. I had gained a lot of weight after my mom passed when I was younger , and I kind of held on to that weight for a little while and , um , just kind of coming from the family and the community that I come from , kind of holding on to extra weight is pretty normal. Uh , so I didn't really think that there was anything wrong with it , and there isn't.
S6: Um , I spoke a little bit on the interview about being safe. Um , I think every woman has been followed , harassed during a run. Um , you hear news about women being killed , you know , on going off for a run. Most recently in Atlanta , a college student. Um , so this is not something new. You hear it all the time. You hear it in conversations within our community. Um , so it was super important to create this space. Um , now we can reach out to a member and get together.
S2: Definitely. And we wait. We all wait and gather and wait for the last person to come in. And so even though , you know , you might be in the back of the pack , once you get back , you've got people that are there waiting for you , clapping for you because you did it. Yeah.S1: You know , many running spaces are predominantly white , but Santa Maria has really provides a safe space for women of color. Why is that representation ? And community important.
