I've been toying with an idea. Running with a group of strangers. I'm kind of a loner when it comes to working out. I hunt alone, as it were. The truth is that I'm extremely self-conscious and I also feel like I am really inexperienced. I don't ever want to be a drag, a drain or otherwise hold ...
runs with groups
thoughts for thursday
