I'm not sure if I would be brave enough to join a running group. The fact that they asked you to join is huge. Hope you find a good fit with them!Suz and Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703593542540533784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714863914746717724.post-30296318289807663542012-02-18T20:04:00.185-05:002012-02-18T20:04:00.185-05:00I feel MUCH the same way you do.

I haven't felt like I fit in at all in the last year to year and a half as I transitioned from an overweight couch potato to an "athlete." Thank you SO much for this post, it reminded me that to get anywhere I need to stick around through the uncomfortable part!~* Jenn *~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07541103665242464789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714863914746717724.post-73350811133411802192012-02-18T18:15:17.899-05:002012-02-18T18:15:17.899-05:00Can I share the puzzle pic with my students?

I really love being with people, but often wait for others to come to me. I sometimes think because of that I am missing out on the opportunity to meet some amazing people!Becky at Prairie Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519505490223244921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714863914746717724.post-89208250167113352582012-02-18T13:26:39.029-05:002012-02-18T13:26:39.029-05:00I love new friends and new groups...but have a ver...I love new friends and new groups...but have a very difficult time initiating it.

I feel like I have a hard time fitting in, but part of the issue is probably that I move around a lot. By the time I'm starting to get through that initial awkward stage, I end up moving again.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176267681280039739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714863914746717724.post-1231523858136793832012-02-18T11:56:36.354-05:002012-02-18T11:56:36.354-05:00my bf and i talk about this a lot bc this is where...my bf and i talk about this a lot bc this is where we are polar opposites. i love being in new groups, love being the center of attention, love talking, etc. etc. total extrovert. i often forget that some people aren’t comfortable with that. i like your perspective-reminds me to talk to the new people in the group-they may just be a little shy. good for you for continuing to try and put yourself out there!!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07713437477594582906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714863914746717724.post-60086071591042367622012-02-18T10:18:25.230-05:002012-02-18T10:18:25.230-05:00Wow - that's a huge thing to be asked into a r...Wow - that's a huge thing to be asked into a running group - HUGE!!! Congrats!!!! I'm super excited for you!<br /><br />I hate to walk into a large group and not know anyone - I would almost rather die I think (me, right? Miss bring on the party!). I am pretty good at sensing if "the group" is open to my enthusiasm or not. If they are - I bring on the party and that usually makes people talk. If they aren't then I slither away at the end of class never to return.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432550406970940247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714863914746717724.post-16212078018772667182012-02-18T01:46:04.242-05:002012-02-18T01:46:04.242-05:00I give you so much credit for trying new things. I...I give you so much credit for trying new things. I admire your courage. The running group sounds great and I'm sure you will develop not just running buddies but good friends as well. <br /><br />Despite the fact that I am not afraid to try different things, I always feel awkward. I definitely don't feel like I fit in when it comes to running and I'm sure that's a body image issue. I run alone and still feel a bit out of sorts when I run a race. <br /><br />Good luck with the running group. I hope you'll let us know more about it.

I think everyone has a hard time when they are new to a group, but putting the effort in usually has big payoff.

So glad they asked you to be a part of their running group.<br /><br />It's also a great reminder that when I'm a part of a group to make all feel welcome, because we all no what it's like to be on the outside. <br /><br />Love the puzzle picture...perfect.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710941480306350838noreply@blogger.com
