Ok runners - do you do it alone, or with a group

    I generally run alone. Unless you count my dog as a running partner! :laugh: But she doesn't want to strike up conversation, and always runs at my pace (well, almost always) so she's the ideal running partner.

    I push harder and get a better workout when I'm not chatting with someone. Really, if you can carry on a full conversation, you're not working hard enough to call it cardio, IMO. (A quick sentence here and there, ok, but not a full conversation). I also prefer to load my ipod with music that will keep me going, which would isolate me from a group anyway.

    On the other hand, I'm competitive, too. It might push me to do just a little better to not look bad. Maybe even to overdo it :ohwell:
