Last night I took the plunge and went along to the Dulwich Runners 'club night'. My visions of it being like a school playground and having to ask to join in the other kids' game weren't completely inaccurate - I turned up really early (a first for me!) and decided to be brave and go up to the only group of guys there and ask about the routes for the evening only to be told that as I was new, someone else would go through it with me (i.e. bugger off) ! Luckily, some more kindly people turned up and introduced me to one of the organisers and I ended up going on a run with a another newbie and a lovely woman who'd drawn the short straw of taking us out.
The run was fun, and even the dreaded Forest Hill wasn't too painful. I'd like to think that it was a respectable attempt for beginners to club running, despite being overtaken by all of the other groups :-)
Can't wait for next week!
