Running gives me an enormous HIGH

I am a 39 yr old woman who started running just last year. A friend of mine told me about Runners For Life and since both me and my husband wanted to start running, we joined RFL. It is always nice to run with like-minded people and when I see a bunch of people all pumped up and ready to run early in the morning, I also get motivated to run!

Attended many RFL runs but could never do more than 10K and my speed never improved! I was the slowest in the group and could never improve from my last run. Felt very dejected and at one stage I almost left running.

Then Sabine came up with the idea of RunnerGirlsIndia (RGI) - a running group for women. RGI is a bunch of fun loving women and everyone runs at their own pace. And the best part is everyone manages to find some other person in the group who runs at their pace. This way no one is left alone!

In 2007, I did not take part in the Bangalore Ultra Marathon because I had no confidence in myself. But this year I am definitely going to try and do the 26K!
