Hello everyone,
I'm Vicky I moved from Britain to Pasadena in October, and I'm interested in joining a running club. I don't really know many people yet, and I think this would be a good way to get to know people.
I did a fair bit of running before, but at the end of May I damaged the ligaments in my foot doing the Great Manchester Run (it's a 10k race around Manchester, great fun, but it rained *all the way round*!) so I haven't done anything since then. That was pretty much the last proper running I've done, apart from the odd half hour here and there.  
I've never been part of a running club before, I've always gone by myself, so I'm not really sure what to expect. I mean, would it be appropriate for me to join you (if you'll have me!), seeing as I haven't run properly for so long? I'm really disappointed with myself over that actually. On the day I did the 10k in just over an hour, the fastest I've ever done it, but then couldn't walk for 2 weeks. Weird thing was it didn't hurt till I stopped running. Anyway, the Dr. told me to try to keep off it, so I did, but then life took over and I've not run for 6 months. Sorry, I'm waffling
Anyway, is the Pasadena group suitable for someone like me? My foot is healed now, I'm just worried I'll be a bit rubbish because it's been so long.
Thanks
V

Vicky-
As Ellen stated we would love to have you come and check us out, we don't turn anyone away.  It's if you feel like you fit it with us and the best way to find that out is buy coming to our weekly club runs.  The next one will be this Thursday the 14th at 18:30.  We meet at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Lot B, that is located just south of the the Golf Course Club House.
Anyway, hope to see you there, can't promise you any Hashing (HHH) but we do have a lot of fun and every once in awhile we will join up with a Hash group.
 
Great Running,
George

Vicky,
We did not see anyone new lurking about trying to find us.  Did you come and not find us?  Look to the North end of the lot next time if you came last night and didnt find our group.
