This is a part of the series of posts that tie back to the 11 Life Lessons I Learned From Running.

Without a running partner, I find it easier to give in to my excuses and not run when I know I should. Not only that, but when I don’t have a partner, I don’t have someone who really understands my small victories and the challenges I face. There is no one to talk to during the boring sections or to share the beautiful views with.

Like running, life is better when shared. Good times are doubled when shared, bad times are lessened through support. Accountability partners help you pus on and meet your goals. Watching those ahead of you helps motivate you because if they can do it, so can you.

Sunsets are just more beautiful when you share them with others!
