I have an opportunity to do my 20-miler with a running group this weekend, but I have never met any of them before. I feel kind of weird just showing up to run with a bunch of strangers, but I don't really know if I want to run the 20-miler all by my lonesome. I know I can do it, but do I want to do it!!!?? Plus, I don't live near-by....more outside the beltway, so I'd have to drive in about a half hour to do it.
What do you guys think?

oooh.. that is a tough one. I'd see how I felt when I woke up!! 20 alone is hard.. whatever your mental state is in the morning. It could be awesome and you could meet someone that is perfect for you (running buddy!)
Hey Billie--I'll be there on Sunday to do the long run. What pace do you do?? CAR is a REALLY friendly group and smaller so it is easier to meet people.
DC Mama: Too funny! Umm, I plan on doing a 9:00 pace for about 12 miles....then an 8:15 for 6 and then 2 more at 9:00 to 9:15. George said there would be a couple women running in the same group...but by looking at the site it seems everyone is fast like you!!
I tried commenting on your blog but you've got it set to invited readers only....can you invite me, please?? I love reading it!!
There will be people there running your pace! The group runs the whole gamit--6 min pace to 12 min pace for the long run. I need your email to invite you...BTW, the blog is "anonymous" so no-one in the running group knows about it (that I know of) so it will be our secret.
I was there! You didn't show, right??
