Also, we're really small. Peer pressure is a good thing. I've signed up for a ton of races because of the club!

I feel like I should just be able to put on my shoes and go. And I find some groups definitely conflict with my work schedule.

I've been meaning to try one of the free group runs that Lulu and Pacers sponsor. My fears of running groups are similar: afraid I won't be able to keep up, afraid I won't be able to talk and run (esp if I'm trying to keep up), I enjoy running as a loner, etc. But, I am determined to at least try it out.

But I think it seems like a great idea to meet people and improve your running. I think 8 miles is an awesome distance (btw). I didn’t know you had to pay for running clubs.

I've met the majority of my Seattle friends (and my husband!) through the club, and there is barely a weekend that goes by that I don't have plans with these people, many times unrelated to running. I'd like to add that there are a few clubs out there that are free, many of which are organized out of running stores that focus primarily on group runs where you don't get coaches or other frills.
