Kind of humorous - as I've mentioned, I like the group runs because they help so much with the motivation. So, I went to West Stride for a group run, but almost everyone was only doing 5 miles or so. I had printed out a route, just in case, so I ended up doing a solo 'group run'. It was still great. Chatting in the store before we started, a water stop perfectly positioned so I hit it twice on the run, and then coming back to the store for Gatorade, water, and food. Have I mentioned how much I like West Stride? Such great people...
Then today, I went to a group run held by The Chattahoochee Road Runners Club. Holy cow were there a lot of people there! This was the 'Go the Distance' part of the club, so everyone there was there to run anywhere from 12 miles on up. There were easily 60 people there! It was almost overwhelming at 7:00 on a Saturday. Water stops with both water and Gatorade every couple of miles, route sheets for all the various distances ... Great set up. I'll definitely be joining them as often as possible. And today...15 miles!! I certainly wouldn't say it was an easy run, but now I've got 15 under my belt. Onward and upward!
