Too often, I think, people here (esp. us guys) equate "GAL activities" with "drinking beers with my buddies."
Guilty as charged on that one!
Running is a great GAL activity, because you can do it alone, or with a few friends. The endorphins are great for the mental state, the physical conditioning does wonders for confidence, and achieving distance or time goals gives you pride in yourself. Most areas have many races of varying distances, and they are fun social events. It's an equal opportunity sport, so dating prospects are all around. Doesn't cost much money either.
