I realized that it has been a while since I posted here.
The running didn't go all that well in the past couple of months so I decided to try a running club on Tuesday night. It was wonderful. At first I didn't know how it would go, but they are a nice bunch of people. It sure makes a difference to me running with a group instead of by myself doing the same old route all of the time. I am looking forward to going out again tonight. Hope all goes well.

I found running with a club a great experience, too. Some people prefer to run alone and that's that, but clubs can do wonders for the old motivation. Plus, if you're in with the right group, it will push you more than you might push yourself, too. I remember some of the senior members of my last club striding past me as I was struggling up a hill I probably wouldn't have dared to tackle on my own

Nice one... think I am going to try joining a club soon.

I joined a club too and really enjoy it.

Absolutely - I find it really spurs me on and I end up running much quicker than when I run on my own.
Go for it !
