I need a virtual training buddy.

I'm just about to get back into the swing of things. I have a half on 23rd Feb, another half on 16th March (a hilly one), and a challenging full on 3rd May.
I've done this all before and have been filled with determination, so being alone hasn't been an issue. But for the last year or so I've found running lonely. There are no running groups near me, and I work shifts so often run at inconvenient times of day. I had myself a running buddy, and I'd planned to do all of the above runs (and the bulk of the long training runs) with her. But she has recently found herself in the family way and can barely drag her *kitten* out of bed for a walk!
I don't need someone to run with per se. I need someone who is on a similar training path to me so I can share stories and have someone to keep motivated with.
Does anyone else out there have any plans that are in any way similar to mine, and want to be my virtual buddy?

Hi I am running a trail full in May and will probably run a couple of halves along the way. I'm in Australia however so my FL normally gets to hear me whine about the heat while they deal with the cold, feel free to add me up if the time/season difference doesn't matter..... :laugh:0

hi, I think we've chatted on here before? I've got a half in March and my first full in May and thanks to the miracle that is the iPhone app I seem to be enjoying notifications all the time so can be relied upon to cheer you on! Add me!0
