NYC Beginner Running Buddy?

slimdownspicey

Hey! I'm an Upper East Sider looking for a newbie running buddy for some co-motivation. I was thinking maybe 1x a week, 2x max we could meet up at Central Park for a walk/run. Right now I can jog for about 4 minutes then walk for 1-2 then jog again. Was thinking of starting on the reservoir and then moving to the larger loops. Message me if you're interested.

We would obvs meet at the park to reduce the creepy factor

I uhm.. I jog like a pansy... but I.. maybe.

Edit: I'm a lower east sider who recently quit her job. I talked to another friend of mine about jogging in Central park and we just.. never did it.

Might just be a bit far to go to help out as I live in London, but when I next get back to Manhatten (on the average once every two years) I'll try the jog/walking in Central Park!

Finally, let me know how you get on and also the motto of the RAF...per ardua ad astra...

All best wishes for getting there, doing it and succeeding.

Hi slimdownspice! Been looking for a running buddy recently and you seem to be a sweet outgoing person to run with. I will have to warn you that I am very out-of-shape at the moment. But I'm great at pushing through and motivation. I'm that person who talks to herself on the treadmill just to hold on for those 2 extra minutes, while everyone else is wondering whether I'm crazy or not (chuckles). The reservoir seems like a great place to train due to the surroundings and so I think it will also be very therapeutic. But do you run in the Autumn/Winter also? If so I'm available MWFSS at anytime. If you are still looking for someone. Please don't hesitate to shoot me an e-mail or reply

Stay well and in good health,
Little Engine that could
