Hello, I am a bigger guy with the dream of completing in my first triathlon. My first step in this process began with signing up for a triathlon scheduled for this summer (South Shore Triathlon in July 2012). After committing myself I began searching for like sized, motivated and determined people to train with. However, I soon realized that there is no triathlon training group specifically for Clydesdales and Athenas (these are apparently what bigger triathletes are called) so I decided to star …

Whether you're training for your first marathon or your fiftieth, its always more fun to do the slow, long distance with friends. And, the best part of running early in the morning is meeting for brunch later.

I feel that if I can have personal contact with an individual at least three days per week along with the motivational support from a group, chances of success will be much greater. I realiz …

  ****This Group is closing in 3 Weeks.****     Now the weather is favorable so why not get out and start running? If you are training for a race or want to just find runners with your kind of pace then this group is for you!! There are many running groups but the only "group" part is that they start the run at the same time.  Five hundred yards later the "group" becomes "individuals".  Well this group is exactly opposite of that.  We start together, run together and finish as a group.  Only qua …
