It has been over a week since I've been running with a group. It hasn't been every day but it has been consistently. After having run by myself for the last year, I have found it to be a welcome addition to my training for the MCM.
Running with others gives you some comradery in the sport that is enjoyable and self esteem boosting. You have people to talk to and connect with for support. In my case, it has also helped my training. I am running with knowledgable runners who have run marathons before (helpful since I have not) and the training plan that I am following was put together by them so lucky me! I am also running with some people who are faster than me and that has helped me to push and challenge myself in ways I would not be doing by myself.
Look online for local running groups or ask around. You may find running with others at least once a week to be motivating, helpful and fun as I have.
Happy Running!

This is a place for new, old and wishing to be runners to come and learn, share and inspire each other on this healthy but addictive sport! I welcome your comments and suggestions. Heidi J Cox
