I'm looking for a (preferably female) jogging partner around Columbus, hopefully around the Gahanna/New Albany area. I don't want to start running outside until the snow melts, but I need a buddy when the time comes. Send me a message if you're interested! My pace is around 8-11 minutes a mile depending on how long it's been since I ran and how long I've been at it. I'm working on stamina and hope to be able to run 10 miles in a row when all is said and done. However, we're going to start small! I'll usually go running during the afternoon on weekdays during the semester and then weekends are more flexible.

    Have you googled running clubs in your area? Sometimes it's nice to run with a bigger group of people when you're starting out. You'll always be able to find someone going the same pace.

    Columbus has a very big running scene. Look up the MIT program. I am in Dayton, but have a friend out there that I run with when I'm in the area. Lots of fun races out there. I did Columbus Marathon and Scioto Miles last year, and will be back out for both again this year.
