"Why don't you come join the team?" Brian continued in his engaging manner. "I'm not really a team person," I replied, hoping that he would continue t... press the conversation forward. Brian replied, "I kinda got that impression, but that's not a big deal. At practices we run in small groups or alone. We run at our own pace and other than a few words of encouragement it stays pretty quiet. I usually run by myself, but maybe we could run together while you get used to the team." What could I say?.
