I actually love it and we have been talking about joining one since we moved to Philly. We made some great friends in our old groups.<br /><br />But they are like anything else. You need to try a few on for size until you get a good fit. Not all are created equal. And don't feel bad about switching if it's not the group for you.<br /><br />Love the shoes :)Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623841732966475396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-59293575790003940892009-12-22T18:14:10.930-08:002009-12-22T18:14:10.930-08:00i LOVE the pink shoes!

Our real running club is the Greater New Bedford Track Club. Through this club we have become faster, better runners, learned so much and we have met so many wonderful people who will be our friends forever! We hang out with these people, have gone to their weddings and they will surely all be at ours. We are the youngest ones, our friends range in age from 28-63. i LOOOVE LOOOOVE LOOOOOVE my running club! Here is another example of my i love them and why its worth joining one...here are my before and after PRs<br />5k- 24:04->19:48<br />10k- 56:00->42:00<br />13.1- 2:13-> 1:39:23(its been awhile, i think i could do 1:36:00 now)<br />26.2- 4:58:00-> 3:29:13<br />running with a group made me faster, it made me enjoy running more andi learned SOOO much from the more experienced runners! That was a MAJOR turning point in my running.Our Love on the Runhttp://www.ourloveontherun.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-40247117755301206092009-12-22T13:16:21.078-08:002009-12-22T13:16:21.078-08:00I love Saucony.

Hubbs likes New Balance so maybe I should give them a try?!<br /><br />No running groups close to me. Bummer. Plus, I run a lot of miles when I get my way. The few locals who also run a lot are typically training for their marathon or ultra solo...like me. runner can be a solitary sport.Shellyrm ~ just a country runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822262051285512641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-85949260062204180672009-12-22T07:52:23.988-08:002009-12-22T07:52:23.988-08:00Hey Sara!

Just be ready for a massive snot flood a mile or so into your run.<br /><br />I run with a group here in Orange County (Cal Coast Track Club). Honestly - it took a couple of years of running with them to feel like I was part of the group. From the group's perspective, there are a *ton* of folks who show up to train for a marathon, don't really put in the time and effort, and then just disappear when they find out how difficult it really is.<br /><br />My advice would be to join a good, large group,and then stick with them even after your race. You *will* develop some friendships over time. And as you put in the time and speed up, you will fall into a group of people who are running your speed - which makes those weekend long runs *much* more enjoyable.Glenn Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05119271602749821767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-90985665280034113202009-12-22T07:01:57.989-08:002009-12-22T07:01:57.989-08:00ooooooh cute pink shoes!ooooooh cute pink shoes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231464198799653331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-90115452773026362052009-12-22T06:48:39.345-08:002009-12-22T06:48:39.345-08:00I used to wear pink Mizunos, which ultimately led ...I used to wear pink Mizunos, which ultimately led me to buy a pink hybrid bike. That pink is quite persuasive.<br /><br />I think you'd really enjoy the RnR program with the SDTC. I used to be a run leader there before I broke my hip and stopped running marathons.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377440606704745517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111812121314241965.post-40216820054478722042009-12-22T06:33:57.902-08:002009-12-22T06:33:57.902-08:00Oooooo I love the pink shoes!!!! :)
