I am going to be honest, I do not workout on a regular basis. I feel like I lack the motivation to do so, but I know I want to be in shape and I do have health goals I would like to meet like running for an hour nonstop without getting tired or being able to do 70 push ups in a row without stopping. Anyway, my boyfriend suggested I run with him and our friends on Sundays since they just started trying to get back into running a week ago. I figured, I'd do it since I need to workout anyway and my social levels would go up (as if I were in the Sims). So here's what happened within me jogging with my boyfriend and friends as well as what I realized about myself.

Running in a group seemed to be much better than listening to music.... from what my friends mentioned.

Even though I am an introvert (or maybe I am an ambivert), running with people does motivate you to keep going. However for me I had other reasons for continuing on after a certain point. Although  I feel like I may play some music next time I run with them to see if I feel a difference within the way I am motivated to focus on my breathing and my pacing.
