    Aha! Love to see fellow runners on here. It's so much freedom! I'm trying to work my way up to running a lot but it's hard after almost 3 years of not doing anything! haha

    I started running in January myself! I have so far ran two 5km races and I am about to work on my 3rd. I am not sure if I am quite prepared to take on the challenge of 10kms yet, but definitely plan to do it in December.

    Add me if you want some running support. I need some too! :):)

    I am working my way to a regular 5k. I just finished the Dirty Girl Mud Run 5K. It was so much fun. I also love running. The funny thing is I use to hate running. Feel free to add me if you need supportive running friends.

    I was training for a marathon until I got a severe case of cellulitis on my leg, but after a month and a half of being laid up, I'm back to running at least a 5k.

    Feel free to add me. :)

    I run about 45km/week. I have a half marathon scheduled for August; I'm thinking of running a Super Spartan in September and I'm going to race my first ever 5k in October.

    I'm also working up to running. i currently walk\jog 3.6 miles, 4 - 5 days a week. about a third of this is uphill. I am really enjoying being outdoors and my husky is a great running partner (formerly a sled dog). add me if you like. i'm doing my first 5k on Aug. 26th. Not sure i can run the whole way yet, but i've only been at this continuously for a few weeks. trying to learn to breathe properly :)

    I am a beginner, and just ran my first half last May. Now, I am thinking about training for a late September half.

    Cheers on starting - it gets a bit addicting!

    I started C25K a few months ago, but I stopped due to health issues. Those issues are now resolved, and I have been wanting to start again! :D I really enjoy running!

    Feel free to add me. I have been running pretty consistently for about 15 years. Mostly I run to keep healthy and to keep my sanity, but I have completed quite a few good races of various distance over the years. My lifetime goal is to run a full marathon, but I have yet to decide that I am ready to make that commitment. Currently I try to run three days/ week, anywhere from 3-8 miles.

    I'm training for my first 1/2 marathon! I love running, even though I am still in the starting out stage (again).
