I ran with my local Running Club today!!

I have been training for a 5K Which I completed on Wednesday. I am ready to move up in mileage but of course was doubting myself. Then I found the local running club website and saw they were doing a 4 mile race today. So I ran it and completed it. I was the last one but thats ok!! I also have a new PR (personal record) as when I did my 5K it was 35:12. Today I ran the 4 miles in 40 minutes so I was HAPPY!! It was so much better to run with a group. They were so nice. Then I was leaving I was telling the race director I was going to get food supplies for DDs bday party, he handed me all the fruit and cookies to give to the kids! It was such a sweet gesture! I hope I can get back to run with them soon!!

I'm glad you had such a good experience! It is always SO helpful to find a group to go running with - not only people to support and encourage you, but also to push your limits to see your true potential. Good for you, keep it up.

Wow, that is awesome, and especially since you cut some time off your run! I always run bymyself, but I hear running with others is much better. I'm glad it was a good time for you!
