in Introduce Yourself
I'm looking for friends from the Pacific Northwest.

It would be nice to hear about any local fitness events such as 5ks.

Thanks!

    What part of Oregon/Washington are you guys from?

    I'm recently moved to Vancouver, WA from Longview and went to college over in Ellensburg, WA.

    Seattle, Washington right here!

    You JUST missed a super cool looking 5k, the Zombie Run. I was going to participate but I was out of town.

    Bremerton WA here! A few 5K's just finished up around here...but I would think more are scheduled. The Seattle Marathon (a 5K) is in November.... For the Seattle area, here is a good site with listings: http://www.my-pang.net/applications/my-pang/information/Running-Events/Seattle-body.php

    Good luck!

    I SAW that! I just re-started my C25k and it would have been too soon. I'm hoping it happens again next year because I'll be there

    I'm in Redmond, WA. I usually use active.com to search for events - I don't really do 5k's as I don't like to just run, but there are a good number of mud & obstacle course runs to choose from around here. I'll be at Hell Run for the 2nd time this year, Tone Loc will be performing ;)

    Just a little outside Seattle, in Renton here. One of my friends just did the Color Run a short time ago. I'm looking forward to doing the Zombie Run and Color Run, next time they're in/near Seattle.

    I'm here in SW WA too- there are a ton of great events! I was signed up to do the Lacamas 4 miler until I hurt my leg. FitRight NW is a great running/shoe store located on Mill Plain (two in PDX Area too) the staff there are very friendly and know their stuff! FitRight also sponsors many local races and advertises on their website. You can always check out Activedotcom to search the local area for events coming up. I am going to do the Color Run in PDX this fall pending my recovery. There is a huge running community in Vancouver and Portland!

    I am from the Tacoma area. I am just getting back into the whole exercise and working out thing. I have a lot of weight to lose, and am working on setting super small goals that I will be able to reach without getting demotivated. I don't know anything about races, but I would like to work to get in shape to run some eventually. Feel free to add if you want.

    Thanks for the info on FitRight!

    I've been running in my basketball shoes and they've been feeling quite a bit heavy.

    I think it's time I get some proper running shoes.

    FitRight also does Thursday night running events based on location (I think first thursday is in Portland, 3rd Thursday might be east Vancouver?) and they give away lots of prizes!

    Don't know about "fitness," but definitely fun.
