Running Club?

I tell you, I did actually apply for a running club...I've received an email update from them and even have my little card that shows membership. And yet, I'm still a bit intimidated by the thought of running with "real" runners. To non-runners, I suppose they think of me as a runner...but I'm not completely sure I'm convinced of that just yet!

I simply have to force myself to go, right? If I completely embarass myself, I just won't return, right? Whats there to lose besides a little bit of face and my pride?
