1. Safety. Since all of us are super buff and fit we sometimes think that we’re invincible. Or that the worst injury we can sustain is from overtraining.

Saturday morning long runs with the girls on our team… Themed runs definitely keep things interesting–especially in the middle of winter! |
4. Competition. Speaking of keeping you company, speed workouts are always more fun with a friend.
We always sign off by asking you about your reasons (It’s a reRun thing)… so, What are your reasons for having a training buddy?

Well, ladies, thank you for posting here! 🙂 I got involved with a running group last year while training for my second marathon. I found with long runs, it was so necessary. My favorite part is the conversation…you can really get to know someone covering those many, many miles. That's often how running club members become so close…I know I've made some new friends since starting my group for this year!

I like to run with others because you can't back out of it. If you know someone is waiting for you, you don't want to disappoint them!–Katrina

I've never really had a running buddy before! I ran my freshman year of college on the team, and that was probably the most fun I've ever had with running – I loved the encouragement, the competition, and just having people to chat with. You don't even really notice you're working out when you've got three girls to gossip with!

Totally agree, Kate. When I did my 20-miler a couple weeks ago with two friends, I felt awful and wouldn't have made it without the girls. They really do save you sometimes!

I usually run alone….I'm gonna find myself a partner. I guess Rex, my dog counts. He would definitely not let any scary dogs come get me. and Jess, you'd never be afraid of Rex 🙂 he would love you, but never jump on you. Nice blog Ericka

Cecily @ www.rerunru says
Haha Ali I love that Rex "would love you, but never jump on you." I love your pics of Rex on the tread, or in your "dog pile."Erika, thanks for letting us do the post! It was fun. And, of course, your blog rocks. Since moving to the Caribbean, I run alone now too. I really really really really (really infinity) miss running buddies, my favorite one being Jessica. But that's why we started our reRun blog. It keeps us together 🙂 Then we discovered a whole running blog community and it helps me feel less lonely for sure 🙂

Great post Jess and Cecily!! And it brought me over to this great new blog!! I tend to mainly run solo because I use it as ME time, but after having a running buddy through some of my marathon, it would be fun to maybe join a running group for the next round of training!

But take that away and I left with virtually nothing, except for the joy of creation, I guess.

The current rhetoric out of North Korea is far outside the bounds of the now “normal” bombast that we come to expect from Pyongyang.
