For several weeks I've been apprehensive about joining a running group because I felt I could not keep up with true runners. Well this morning I completed a 5 mile walk/jog event with BGR (Black Girls Run) in Baltimore. I set a new PR of 15min per mile. When walking/jogging alone my pace was 16min plus a few seconds. I'm so pumped up. Thanks so much ladies for taking good care of a newbie. I'm sorry I waited so long. Running/walking with someone else is better than doing it alone.
