So this summer I have run significantly less but enjoyed running significantly more. I'm down to running just 3 days a week but have sped up quite a bit. The difference? Running with a running group.
Two days a week we get together and run while our kids all play together. It's amazing how more more enjoyable it is to exercise, and how much harder you can push yourself when you are working out with friends.
Our ages span from 25-51. The group is a happy, uplifting bunch. It's been fun making friends with people I wouldn't normally have gotten to know. In the group we have a certified Master Gardener, a home mortgage consultant, interior design guru, an HR rep, pastry chef, dental hygienist, city treasurer, and fitness trainer. It makes for interesting discussions. Having the extra encouragement and entertainment makes a world of difference.

Sounds pretty neat. You are inspiring, Dani! So great to get to know new people.
That sounds like so much fun. How did you form your running group and who watches your kids while you run?
That sounds so fun, did you join the group from the internet or something? Liam is looking so old! Good job on your marathons and Brady's bike ride, you guys are so amazing.
Way to go! I just got a running buddy and I love it. It helps so much. How did the group form?
