Looking out of my car window on a Thursday evening I see the same group again. Most are making their way down the sidewalk to a blue water cooler, and a few are already making their way back towards the mall.

One running shop exists in the mall. It’s positioned in the center and stares directly in your face when you enter from the west side.

After wondering, “Who are they [the group]?” for several weeks. I learn that they are somehow connected with a new running store in the mall. I find it last weekend on the south end across from the bookstore.
