It's tough to adapt from lonerunner doing whatever you want to syncing up with other runners.EndorphinBuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122842317916411387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117763907544816717.post-9685512355220899682010-11-17T12:26:59.387-05:002010-11-17T12:26:59.387-05:00Thats awesome that you look out for the other runn...Thats awesome that you look out for the other runners. I would love to have you in my running group. <br /><br />Usually we run in pace groups so we're pretty much in the same area.. <br /><br />in my personal groups, if there are slower runners, they'll have a partner so it wont hold up the rest of the group that is trying to train. <br /><br />Usually we look out for one another, but there are the ones that like to run solo and leave us in the dust, we usually dont invite them to run with us in the future :) heheAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07294247056633683068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117763907544816717.post-12243980844117988232010-11-14T21:48:31.482-05:002010-11-14T21:48:31.482-05:00I've only done one running clinic and I was us...I've only done one running clinic and I was usually one of the ones who needed to be looked out for.<br /><br />I would have loved to have you as a group leader :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08125640729727220332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117763907544816717.post-48319072967152813942010-11-14T12:16:13.749-05:002010-11-14T12:16:13.749-05:00I've never run with a group before, but if I d...I've never run with a group before, but if I did I would for sure me one of the stragglers.

(picturing you with tree-top angel ornament as a hat!) The proof was in the reaction of the runners, not their idiot 'leader'. Kudos for you!!!<br /><br />I have these instincts very strongly, being brother to 2 younger sisters, and wouldn't have it any other way, but surprising how careless and reckless some leaders can be. <br /><br />Can you imagine how you'd feel as such a 'leader' if someone got hit and died because of such sloppy work? <br /><br />I know people don't like to think about tragedies, but only children have the luxury of living in a world with no unpleasant outcomes. Adults are required to think ahead, plan carefully, and prevent them. This goes double for those who put themselves in leadership positions. <br /><br />I'm sure working in a dangerous profession like construction you do so all the time.<br /><br />I bailed on an epic ride last year because I couldn't get the SAG organizer to abandon the 'no-crash rule' in favor of actual planning. I guess she just wanted to go for a scenic ride? :-OGrey Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238917041257429804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117763907544816717.post-1848117842052516392010-11-12T16:23:22.998-05:002010-11-12T16:23:22.998-05:00Its always easier running with a group as you dont...Its always easier running with a group as you dont have to do all the work all the timechris mcpeakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15488479732649522465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117763907544816717.post-51610977936439356982010-11-12T15:01:05.909-05:002010-11-12T15:01:05.909-05:00I'm usually the one that's struggling in m...I'm usually the one that's struggling in my run group...they are a bunch of super fast folks.

It really comes down to how they advertise the run. Important to know. <br /><br />Example:We have a pub-run every monday here and the run-leader hands out a turn by turn map. So that tells me that it is a run-your-own-pace rather than no-one-left-behind.<br /><br />no matter what EVERYONE should be wearing plenty of reflective lights!Gotta Run.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/03647983887882662002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117763907544816717.post-59935168996466001492010-11-12T13:07:35.995-05:002010-11-12T13:07:35.995-05:00Mother Hen, ha!
