running together the power of community
there is only one way to success… hardwork. And sometimes that hard work becomes daunting. The grind of daily runs, Getting out the door, slugging through the miles alone, just you, and your mind reminding you how hard this feels. As runners we are familiar with this dialog that runs in our minds, We are also familiar with the voice that says at 5am “snooze the alarm you can go later this bed is warm.” It is easy to fall victim to this. A few days in a row of missed runs happen and then it’s that much harder to get back into the groove, harder to want to start back at it again.
This is where the power of a friend or group lies. Knowing there is someone waiting for you it makes harder to hit that snooze button. The long run that is more mileage that you have ever done and seems daunting is that mush easier when you have someone there next to you putting one foot in front of the other with you. Catching up on the week with a friend while your runnign makes the miles tick away and before you know it the run is done.
There is a power in knowing there is a group who is consistently there waiting for you. I have had runners tell me over and over that they never thought that they could “run that far’, “would not have finished the run” or would not have shown up for the run if they had to do it alone. There is power in the people.
You can achieve great things. Why not have have fun doing it?
Commit to running with others and I guarantee you will find consistency becomes easy.
Progress happens when you consistently do the things you know you should be doing even when you are not motivated. We are here to help you keep going :)
Side by side we go the distance.
