Running and why I hate where I live

kag1526

I just started running last week. I would love to take a running class, or have a race to sign up for. However I can find NOTHING about races going on in my area (I can find some about last years but not this years because my hick backward county doesn't know how to update websites!!)

As for a running class or group... yeah the community college has a very expensive class. and the Y a few towns over apparently sometimes has one but not right now. (and no idea of when they will on the website either)

There is a city a little over an hour away that has a running exchange, great info, a real running store (I got my shoes there on Friday) and the running store has this training program that sounds awesome and not too expensive either... but there is no way I can drive over an hour to go to it. To go to a race yeah I can manage that but not for a weekly training thing...

I'm just so frustrated. I really hate where I live... unfortunately my whole family is here and I have an awesome job that is paying for grad school (remote of course, no good colleges for my masters around here) and due to that I can't leave.
