Some of the 4am run group Me on the Far Right!

Hey Readers, Are you a new runner? want to run?  want to learn to run better? Well today I wanted to share how running group has help me become a runner and how the support to keep a fit lifestyle with other people on the same quest. Running is sometimes viewed as a loner sport, but actual since more people of ages have embrace the run lifestyle more groups have develop to bound others  together with a common goal. I truly would not be a consistent runner today if it was not for my running group. We meet three times a week and as the weather is warm the group has added evening runs and weekends. I have learn to run due to my group, and have increase my knowledge because running is part of my life. Some of the people will come out sometimes, and some will be their every time we run. I , as of 9 months come every run 3 times a week and I run on the weekend alone.
Why Group Runs?
1.Sometimes as a runner only runners will understand why you run, non-runners will not be able to relate concerning PR, (personal records) to why runners have goals even if they are not professional runners.
2. Entertainment. On group runs, I’ve heard stories about dysfunctional families,  bad dining experiences  I’ve heard ideas for documentaries, praying, home purchases etc. You just can’t get that type of entertainment from an ipod.
3. Competition. I am no bible thumper, but I once read The Bible for the specific purpose of being able to argue intelligently with religious people. This Ecclesiastes character was my fave. This line of his always stuck with me: “I observed the basic motive for success is the driving force of envy and jealousy.” So insightful. He was cynical, I think, but it is true that when we see others achieving great feats —especially when they are our own peers — we want to get some for ourselves! And as a result, we work harder to obtain it — even if it means saying, “Sure, I’ll run at the track with you at 4 a.m.” or “yes, I am up for an evening run, during which it is 105 degrees in the shade” or “I know I just lost my lunch on the sidewalk, but don’t worry ’bout me; I’m right behind you.”
4. Opportunity to share the wisdom. “If you want to master something, teach it.” —Yogi Bhajan. A group like our Black Girls Run and Powder Springs Pretties enjoys a steady stream of new runners — it’s a ripe opportunity for giving back and mastering the sport though sharing experience and acquired knowledge.
5.. Accountability. Alone running – any excuse to skip will do. Group running — if you miss, you’re going to get nothing. Others are counting on you to show up. Valid excuses dwindle.
This is a good way to stick with your goals, believe me I am so up lifted when I see my running group.
Your Personal Cheerleader!
