I will take you up on the running suggestion!!! I seem to always run alone...Even in the race....I was never in a group.... Maybe a running partner will help me pick up my pace!!!

I was a little discouraged when all the 10k racers that only started 5 minutes ahead of me looped me and finished well before I could even see the finish line?!?!  DAMN!!! lol...But they were all total athletes! 0% body fat!!!

Never worry about the other runners. You just need to run your own race. I ran my whole marathon by myself. It would have been nice to have someone but there wasn't and so you just have to believe in yourself and do it. Think about the 10 next year. Do a 10 and one. You could do it.

I second that! Make the New Year's Resolution Run your next 5k and keep going!!! Do a marathon with me in the fall
