Looking for friends to run with in Wisconsin

Hi, I'm new here and looking for some friends to workout with here in Racine, WI I am 24 and a type 1 diabetic and about 45 pounds overweight. I have lost 88 pounds in the last year and a half but my shape is still far from where I want it to be and I feel like I am somewhat at my wits end. I would love to start running because I was told that running would help me lose the last of my weight. I am looking for some experienced runners or just some people who need encouragement just like myself so we can help each other reach our goals :)
