Looking for a running buddy

Hey! I'm starting a learn to run program and looking for some motivation. I am in horrible shape and even just a couple of minutes of running might kill me. Anyone interested? :smile:

    I'm looking for one too. I was running last spring but stalled over the summer.
    I'm all the way out in BC but maybe we can help motivate each other to keep going.

    This is a great group for support and information: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/30-couch-to-5k-running-program-c25k
    When I was learning to run, they were always there. It's very active and the encouragement and camaraderie kept me motivated.
    Keep running. I've been running for 2 years now and have never regretted a run.

    I run every other day. Farthest I am running right now is 5 miles. My goal is to run 5 miles without having to walk part of it and to soon get my 5 miles under 50 min! I have shin splints and some days just don't want to do it so I am totally for motivating anyone if in turn they motivate me!
