Many people think that running is a solitary sport...of course it can be!!! since one of the best things about running is that it's a simple sport you can run anytime, anyplace, anywhere (well except for the month of August for those of us who live in the Valley)...but running can also be a social sport, there are many reasons why running with a group is great... 1. Meeting new people (or just meeting with people somewhere besides a bar or dinner). 2. Staying motivated..or getting motivated (it's always good to have that one person). 3. Running is AWESOME! and running with someone by your side is AWESOME-ER!!
