I went to a Tuesday night run club last night. I was the slowest person there, but yay running. Still felt fine, even if they're faster.
Doesn't matter if you're the slowest. Stick with it, and you will not stay that way for long. In fifth grade I could barely swim a length, these days I'm a certified life guard. As long as you have fun, you're doing great. And still better than most people.
Thanks. :) I'm definitely having fun. It feels really good to get out and be active. The groups didn't seem to care, it's just me being uncomfortable with new people. One of my goals is to add distance, and going slower seems to be helping that.
I used MeetUp. It was my first time using it, and running seemed like a safe thing to do. Safer than a "single professionals" one for sure. The people were all great, basically ambivalent to me being there. Which is good for me as I have issues with people, too.
