I found them back in November when I was looking for ways to get started. I was so intimidated by a running group AND the 4:45 time. I thought to myself, "Self, someday you will be able to run with them." I wish I would've took the plunge and joined them back in January. They are so nice and will work with you at any level. I am the slowest of the slow, but they make sure I make it back. They have ran with me. I know that I will become a better runner and make a whole lot of friends.
I am not sure if I will get used to waking up at 4 am. Holy COW, it is early, and these last few days at work I have been dragging! We ran 4 miles this morning, and then I went to boot camp to make my fat cells cry some more. I have run 17 miles so far this week! I am resting on Friday and then running 13 miles on Saturday!!! I am running a half marathon distance! How freaking cool is that!!!
Also a quick side note, my wife is a rock star. She ran 4 miles last night and did it in 35 minutes. I cannot even do 3 miles that fast! She is my hero and the love of my life!

Good for you (and your wife)! That time is EARLY--but it's definitely worth it to make friends and get support for your running. I get up between 5 and 5:30 for my runs and feel like that is early, but I'm by myself. :^)
Good luck with your 13 miles. I don't remember the first time I ran 13 but for some reason I do remember the first time I ran 11. I was in an awed daze the rest of the day. You will feel so good, I promise--and that's only the beginning!!
Your wife IS a rock star. She is speedy.
Let me know if getting up that early gets easier. I'm not sure I could do it =)
