I have been swearing up and down that I hate running, but I guess I just hated the thought. I have been running with a group of people who are amazing! Some of them are new to the sport, like me. Some have run marathons, and some are somewhere in the middle. Some are super duper fast, and some are not so super duper fast. We have all been divided into pace groups, and, having mentored the June cycle team, I was asked to be a pace leader. My first thoughts were, “But I don’t even run! I don’t know what my pace even is! Do I even know how to run???” Even with the nagging questions, I decided to say yes. I am glad I did. I love the pace group participants that I am with.
