I'm contemplating joining a running group and wondered how you are enjoying the experience? Does it make a difference for your motivation and improvement?

I've been running with a club for over a year now. They're quite a nice bunch. Have a look at the link to Penny Lane Striders in my Links. To be honest I get my motivation more by having a structured plan than having people with whom I can hang around, however it is very good to also be able to get together with others on those days when you don't want to get out of bed or off the couch ( ... )

Thank you for the thoughtful reply - Penny Lane Strider seem like a great group of people. I think finding people who are at my level of ability might be good for me, though like you I do enjoy my own company too.

Good luck! A couple of friends of mine are also doing the Firenze marathon :)

Thank you. And good luck to your friends. I hope the weather will be with us this year!

Bit monotonous with the group running was it?

Sounds like a steady week for you...must be close?
Enjoy Firenze.

Some of my usual companions were a bit under the weather, so they could only run dead easy. By the time I meet up with them it's too late and dark to go swanning off on my own, so I just had to make do with that.

You are quite correct, Firenze is quite close. Sun 29th. We're off on Friday, I'm going with one of the girls from the club so we're having a bit of a girly sightseeing/shopping thing afterwards. Nothing you blokes would understand. It involves shoes. Seriously, I'm going to show her the sights and if we, er, come across the odd shop or two it'll be bonus. :)
