Then you can move at your pace, turn some music up, and enjoy it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1417285 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 10:02:11 +0000 rattles 1417285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never run one, but I'm thinking of signing up for one. If I do, I'd rather do it alone, I think! I run by myself usually, and I like setting my own pace and having my own experience. It's out of character for me - I'm generally such an extrovert! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1417268 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:58:43 +0000 snowjewelz 1417268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a 5k once, it was fun! And such a sense of accomplishment. You should definitely go for it! It will motivate you to exercise, eat better, and train for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1417168 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:35:06 +0000 mrsjyw 1417168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DO IT GIRL! 5k is quick and u can rock out to your music ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1417140 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:27:58 +0000 MsMamaBear 1417140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just do it! I'm doing an Alzheimer's run in April alone b/c my family does the walk, they aren't runners. lol I'm trying to do a personal best, so I'm glad to go it alone this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1417066 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:05:19 +0000 cranberry 1417066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've signed up for a few races by myself. I try to find people to sign up with me, but if I can't I'll usually sign up anyway if it's a race I really want to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1417061 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:02:02 +0000 Littlebit 1417061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done a 5k by myself..it was my first one and a good experience. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1417023 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:43:55 +0000 Maysprout 1417023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like running and getting lost in my own head and just focusing without having to try and chitchat. I say it's worth a try to see if you like it. It's a little lonely at the starting line but it might be a chance to meet knew people who run at the same pace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1417020 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:43:24 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1417020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am celebrating little lions birthday by running one solo :) my health has been a big journey for me this year si it is meaningful to me to do it on my own. But every other one I have done has been with a friend....mostly because I really don't love running and having company makes it go faster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1417010 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:37:16 +0000 LindsayInNY 1417010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not weird at all! My first race was a half marathon and I did it solo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416866 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 07:24:39 +0000 Happygal 1416866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go for it! Especially if it has a reputation for being fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416860 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 07:21:26 +0000 mfa_lady 1416860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do it, girl! :) I think it would be awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416822 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 06:32:32 +0000 erwoo 1416822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I met my husband and moved out to the East Coast I used to run all the time. I was in the best shape of my life. Even ran half a marathon without stopping in about 2:25. I was pretty proud of myself. This was over 10 years ago. Now I'm just one big blob. LOL! I do plan on starting back up with running but I have a feeling it will be reeeeally hard since it's been a while. I just have to get new shoes now. And, hopefully, I can train for a full marathon before we leave Asia. At least that's my goal. I'm just hoping it'll help me lose some weight too! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416818 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 06:15:24 +0000 avivoca 1416818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done a bunch of races by myself! It's fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416715 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 00:39:10 +0000 IRunForFun 1416715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I've done a bunch! I ran a marathon by myself, LOL. Sometimes it's better to do a race alone because there's no one else dictating your pace. Just do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416703 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 00:24:32 +0000 808love 1416703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes..I ran a triathlon by myself. Don't get me wrong, I have only done a handful of races but it feels weird to me to run WITH someone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416693 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 00:13:39 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1416693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I've run most of my 5ks alone!! Like others have said- you choose your own pace and listen to music. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416691 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 00:10:18 +0000 tysonja 1416691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've done a 10k by myself -- it's a huge annual run here, thousands and thousands of people, so it's a nice fun, community feeling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416690 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 00:09:27 +0000 sarah.clarisse 1416690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the opposite and have only done races by myself. I think I'm freaked out about doing them with someone :)<br /> So I say go for it! I've only done one 5k and it was all alone since DH wasn't even in town to cheer me on. My other races were sprint triathlons and DH was their as support but I raced on my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416687 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 00:05:01 +0000 Boheme 1416687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I love them! DH tags along for moral support :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416671 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 23:40:51 +0000 HLK208 1416671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: lol can you make R do one with you? I've made K sign up for some...which was a waste because he always found an excuse like, "let's go out for breakfast instead". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416653 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 23:29:44 +0000 lilteacherbee 1416653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I have! I've done lots of 5Ks. Some with DH, some with friends, and a couple by myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416651 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 23:28:14 +0000 Mrs. Train 1416651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have done a 5 and 10k with my husband but we run differently so we are never near each other. I would sign up by myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416647 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 23:25:11 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1416647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, you can do it! I have done a lot, and rarely with someone else. When it's just you, you can run at your own pace, listen to music and get lost in the experience. You'll just follow everyone else (unless you're the fastest but I never am). Go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416640 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 23:18:37 +0000 doodlepoodle 1416640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: why does it feel so intimidating?!?? I feel like I need someone to guide me LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416637 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 23:17:05 +0000 HLK208 1416637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! I ran my half by myself since my sister took off lol. I've done a few 10k's alone though, it was no big deal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-yourunning#post-1416632 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 23:12:39 +0000 doodlepoodle 1416632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would you or have you ran a 5k (or any race!) by yourself? I've only ever done one with a dear friend and I feel like it would be so lonely without someone else! There's a fun run coming up in my area that looks like lots of fun but I'd be alone and I feel like that's weird...especially for a fun run! </p> <p>I'm hoping signing up for something will keep me motivated to exercise!</p> <p>What do you think, is it weird or should I just do it?</p> <p>(Eta: since it's about running I put it under health but maybe play space is a better fit? I'm not an authority!) </p>
