I will see what we can do to put this idea into action. <br /><br />JannineGo the Extra Mile with WOOThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681781666426059555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9084383915764445821.post-55955271466849622362011-05-23T05:10:55.911-07:002011-05-23T05:10:55.911-07:00I agree too!

We need a buddy system. Carpooling or something too. that would be really helpful - but instead of saying, "show up at USO" be more like, "where do you live? OK - see you bright and early when I come knock on your door and we drive together!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9084383915764445821.post-11812710118072026352011-05-22T14:53:42.695-07:002011-05-22T14:53:42.695-07:00great post!

But, I met a few other walkers and had a blast! I think having a "go to" person each week is a GREAT idea!!!The Wheelershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109381965273156757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9084383915764445821.post-24158988631434243352011-05-22T14:45:05.896-07:002011-05-22T14:45:05.896-07:00I like Erik's idea.

You are correct that it can feel so awkward to come to a group, not knowing anyone and not feeling confident in your running ability. Cheers to all those that have tried and as J says, for those who haven't bring your cup of coffee!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
