Well, I belong to a running club. It's actually a marathon running club because I used to start running marathons two years ago, and if you train for a marathon it's like a lot of time you have to invest in it and a lot of running you have todo alone by yourself, and if you have somebody, with you, like your a member of a club, it's just much more fun to do it with other people than if you have to do it alone.</p> <p><strong>Aiste, Lithuania</strong><br /> <strong><img alt="speaker" class="floatright" height="70" src="../../Assets/graphics/mixerthumbs/MX4-Aiste.jpg" width="50" /></strong>Yes, I belong to a singing club and piano club.
