Team Spirit was organized by a former Boston Marathon winner Gayle Barron...there is a yearly fee to join and then there are Habitat For Humanity projects that the runners also contribute time and service to throughout the year. The group is specifically for those folks needing running partners for long runs (marathon and half marathon training primarily). I'm not sure but think this group may be local to Atlanta but if you have a Habitat for Humanity in your area they may have a similar group. And if they don't maybe you could pioneer the effort for a new group in your area.
It is a wonderful idea cause most of us who joined up had friends who'd run the "trash miles" (< 6 miles) but it's a bit harder to convince someone a 8-16 miler would be fun.
Hope you find something like that in your area...it made Chicago alot easier. Regards, Mary
