Helloooooo, runners?!

Hello, Hello! I'm Danielle. I've been on MFP for a couple years now...I can def thank MFP for my weight loss. Unfortunately, these past months, I've been slacking!! MAJORLY!!! I ran a 15k a couple weeks ago, and it's sad to say, but that was the last time I worked out! I love running, but the Chicago weather is making me not want to run. I hate, hate, hate running long distance on a treadmill. So this is what I decided, I'm starting the C25k plan, again and right after that I'm training for a half, hopefully for spring. I figured I could do short distance during the winter and then start my half! I need some running pals for motivation! So if you love running, add me for some motivation!!! thanks, all!

I run on a treadmill, sometimes for up to 7 miles. I really like it. I like adding hills and sprints into the programming, to keep it interesting. I really just like the hum of the motor and just putting one foot in front of the other. It's sort of a meditation.

I live about 3 hours away from you in Kalamazoo, MI. This is my first time running through the winter, so I can definitely commiserate. I'm training for my first 1/2M in May. Feel free to friend me, if you'd like!

why don't you just around outside?? I would shoot myself if I had to do long distance on the treadmill. Layer up when you go out. Stay near main streets or even by the lake to get your distance in. I LOVE running in this cold chicago weather. Then again, I still got some meat on me to keep me warm

*"run outside?" oops

I'm about five hours north and I run mostly outside through the winter, so we can be buds. I've got my second half next may.

The hardest is getting started. Think about the satisfaction and how good you are going to feel having done it. We are just coming into summer here and I am finding running in heat more draining. Our winters aren't quite what you experience though!
