My first group run

This morning I went on my first official group run.  I have always run by myself, with the exception of the one 5K run I did this summer.  So when our Ragnar team captain invited me to go with him down to the Salt Lake Running Company's group run this morning I figured it would be a good idea. 
The run started at the SLRC store on 700 East and went to Liberty park, then a lap or two around the park and back to the store.  There were probably about 10 of us there to run.  They split us up into pace groups and had one staff member assigned to each group to run with them.  I was, of course, in the slowest group.  Ours was the 10,11, or 12 minute mile group.  It was me, a girl from the staff, a woman in her 50's and a 76 year old lady.  
It was nice to have someone to talk to for part of the run.  I say 'part' because they all turned around after about 1.5 miles.  My total mileage was somewhere between 6.5 and 7 miles.  I didn't take my phone with me and I didn't have a watch, so I don't really know my time.  I did 2 laps around Liberty Park and then headed back to the store.  Even most of the faster group only did one lap around the park, so my ride had to wait a while for me.  It was nice to have some new scenery on my run and the weather was nice and cool, but not rainy.
Maybe eventually I'll get to a pace where my group run will actually be with a group. But I'm giving myself props for even going at all.  Being around all those "serious" runners who are super skinny and wearing all their special running gear is a bit intimidating.  I think they were all surprised when I actually went the distance with no walking and without turning around early with my group.  I may be slow, but at least I go.
