I used to run with a group and it helped me tremendously, it was actually when I was running my fastest, as I was pushed a bit. However, my timing is so tight now that I typically run alone and squeeze it in where I can. I miss the group, but love my time alone too! :-)Angela Camposhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865177278607438558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-26692554557133369882017-02-09T06:54:42.564-06:002017-02-09T06:54:42.564-06:00That handstand has been a goal for over a year--it...That handstand has been a goal for over a year--it's a thrill to be able to do it!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-74273163005228041052017-02-09T06:54:07.640-06:002017-02-09T06:54:07.640-06:00I haven't done a group bike ride but I certain...I haven't done a group bike ride but I certainly see the appeal and the safety factor!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-40094677770370227792017-02-08T19:09:06.871-06:002017-02-08T19:09:06.871-06:00Some beautiful photos, and go you for mixing up yo...Some beautiful photos, and go you for mixing up your routine, and sticking the handstand and yoga pose!Mary @ Fit and Fedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207885951223952745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-84308446950751798992017-02-07T09:16:35.516-06:002017-02-07T09:16:35.516-06:00I haven't run with a group but last year I had...I haven't run with a group but last year I had the opportunity to bike ride with a group and I loved that.

He mentioned how in the past running was for those who wanted to be alone and compared it to now with the popular rise of 'Running Tribes'. I prefer BOTH. Group runs actually make me a faster runner - so I like running with a group during an interval run. I also enjoy the weekend long run with friends since it's really one of the only times now that I have a family I get a chance to catch up with them.

I was the lone wolf and damn proud of it. However, I finally caved, and now I struggle to run alone. It's good to be able to do both, and there is a reason for each. <br /><br />I'm glad you are exploring new options and enjoying them. I think this will be a big game-changer for you.Runs With Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171128110788554302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-32307524048311477772017-02-06T14:51:33.086-06:002017-02-06T14:51:33.086-06:00I usually run alone or with my husband, but I spen...I usually run alone or with my husband, but I spent many years running with a group. I loved it (as I love running alone too). It's mostly laziness, or time issues I guess. I do miss my regular running partner from back then. We ran many marathons and training runs together, chatting the time away. Then she had kids, moved farther away, and our running connection weakened. I have been thinking about finding a new group though, especially as I approach marathon training again.Debbiehttp://coachdebbieruns.comnoreply@blogger.com
