Strength In Numbers

I have always been involved in team sports throughout my life. The motivation, competition and desire that comes from a team working towards a common goal is so inspiring. I have always considered running an individual sport but in the past few weeks I have changed my mind.

The past two Wednesdays I have gone to the Forerunners running clinic. I joined Ken’s group hoping to keep up with the speedy pace that will hopefully help me attain my goal time for the half marathon.  Considering it is only been my second week with the group, everyone has been so friendly and always looks out for each other during the workout. I think its fair to say that I push myself a lot harder with the running group versus on my own. Some people say music, sunny weather or new running shoes motivates them to run faster however for me, a group that is willing to push themselves and support each other has been my inspiration! So if you are having difficulty mustering up the enthusiasm to go for a run, grab a partner or a join a group, the drive to strive for success is contagious.
