Hi there, Im new but not new to MFP and to running. In June 2012 I joined MFP and had a very successful time in losing 35 pounds and becoming active and began running. I ran 2 5k's in 2013 but still can not run one straight thru without having to stop and walk here or there. I left MFP as I was letting it consume my life with tracking and posting and thought I could do it on my own, which I didnt do too bad, continued to run and gained back less then 5 lbs. My goals for 2014 are to lose these last pesky 15 lbs to reach my goal weight set in 2012 , to push myself out of my comfort zone and run a 10K. I am currently now retraining with runkeeper app to learn to run a 5K without stopping ( i am registered for a 5K May 4th ) and then to continue straight into 10k training, I am registered for a 10k Sept 27th.
I could certainly use some friendships and motivation and occasionally a virtual smack in the *kitten* as I reach for my goals this year, Please feel free to add me as I begin this journey ( again )

Welcome back. There are a lot of great runner MFPs on here. You are welcome to friend me if you like.0

I reserve the right to call myself a runner even though it's a struggle sometimes to finish 2 mi. in 18 min. I don't believe in the "real runner" B.S. If a person can run to the mailbox and wants to be part of the club, they're alright with me.0

I signed up for my first HALF marathon in June. I've run 5K's and 8K's and last summer finished a 10K.......I'm ready for this next challenge. My method is run/walking... it works and as long as you finish and have fun, it's worth it. I started training last week with the Hal Higdon schedule. Feel free to add me, we can encourage eachother.

Welcome back, feel free to add me. I have done some 5k's and like you haven't been able to run one.
But I ran a 5 miler not to long ago and plan on running a 10 mile race in 3 weeks. As well as I signed up for a half in April0 -
Hey there! Feel free to check my profile and add me if you like! ^_^
I love running, and have done it for a while for pleasure. I am new to 'training' and running competitively, though. I have a 5K in March, a 10K in June, and a half marathon scheduled for October!0 -
I'm back from a MFP hiatus, and I consider myself a runner... I have a goal to run my first half marathon this fall! I began running last March...and haven't stopped! It's cheaper then therapy, unless of course I keep buying all the tech clothing!0

I would like to become a runner...
I have only ever done the Run for the Cure years n years ago.
But would like to become a daily runner, anyone else like that add me0 -
Running is great! Training for my fifth half marathon right now. And with the weight I've lost and the things I've learned here, shooting to beat my personal best!0

Hi, I think I could maybe be classed as a runner now. I have gone from C25K in September last year to training for a HM next month and have just run my longest run ever (12 miles) in preparation.
I am not quick but anyone feel free to add me, could do with some running friends0 -
Welcome back. A fair few runners on here and I've had lots of support since I started. I started running when I joined MFP as I needed more exercise.
I'm doing a few 10Ks this year, so good luck with yours.
Please feel free to add me.0 -
Well I'm a runner, and as the others have said, there are a ton of us.
You've got some great goals.
Add me if you want motivation on food running or whatever.
good luck either way.0 -
Another runner here Only been running a year but I've done a few races including a Half Marathon. Looking into ultra running once i get more hours to train for one.0

Feel free to add me too. I am at 10 miles right now and working up to my first full marathon next January. After gaining a bunch of weight with my 4 month old, my pace is really slow for me. I'm averaging between 11 and 12 minutes per mile depending on how far I am running. The awesome thing about running is all you need to do to be a runner in my book is get out and run. It could be a block or it could be 50 miles. I don't care. We are all out there trying to get better at what we do or at least maintain a level of health and fitness and why no support each other while we're at it?!?0

I am a runner. I completed 5 and 10ks but I am a run walk runner this is more due to laziness than actually being tired or unfit haha
I am completing a 10k scorpion run assault course in March!
Feel free to add me!0 -
I run. I'm a football / soccer referee so running forms part of that, and is obviously a large part of my training.
Anyone feel free to add me!0 -
I used to be a runner many years ago, and I'm trying to get back to where I can run 5K's again.0

Hi! I started running in April 2013. I've run two 5Ks and am currently redoing the C25K program to begin training for a 10K in May! I actually downloaded a C210K app, the first 8 weeks are the same as the C25K. It's slow going but I have time and am loving it!0
