## Caption

I went to my first run club.

This weekend, I met up with ultrarunner Andy Glaze and Eli for a 7 a.m. 10-mile run, and honestly, the experience made me realize something I hadn’t really thought about before: I miss being part of a team.

As a former Division 1 athlete, I’m used to having teammates, workouts, and people around me who are all working toward the same goal. After college, running became much more of an individual experience. You still have the motivation to train and improve, but sometimes you miss having people there beside you.

That’s what made this run club experience so cool. It wasn’t just about running 10 miles. It was about the community, meeting other runners, pushing each other, and finding that team feeling again.

Maybe run clubs are what I’ve been missing.
