Staffordshire/Cheshire Women who run/lift? :)

OK so I'm not exactly new here, I've been on this forum a few times and had some great advice from some great people. After another session at the gym today where I was really chuffed with my 20 reps of 50kg on the bench press, I realised I looked up and realised I don't actually have anyone to share these achievements with! I know a few men who lift weights but no other women. I'm only just starting out really after a few years of loving running, I now do bench press and chest press and incorporate weights into some of my crunches.
Any other women out there please feel free to add me, I like working out on my own and doing my own thing but sometimes it does feel a bit lonesome being the only girl in my gym doing weights (the others must work out at different times!)
I live in North Staffordshire, England for info and I work in research so spend a lot of time at my desk - running and weight lifting keep me sane!
