    I used to run back in high school and have started getting back into it the last few months. My first sanctioned race 5K is on June 1, feel free to add me. I run 3-5 times a week.

    I too love running. I've retired from competitive racing now due to back issues, but have raced 5k to marathon although my favourite distance was the half marathon. Feel free to add me as a friend and enjoy your running!

    Feel free to add me.

    i'm currently doing the Zombie 5K training - only on week 2 but enjoying it. Started running last year but ended up with severe shin splints.

    I'm signed up to do a 5K colour run in July and then because I'm slightly ( only slightly) insane I've also signed up for a Tough Mudder in October.

    I am very new to running. I used to hate it, but knew what a great workout is can be. I decided to try it again (using a mile a day challenge) and found that I was actually enjoying it. I ran into sinus issues while running, but dont want that to stop me. I'm still in the very early jog/walk stages but would love to run my first 5k this year.

    Anyone feel free to add me...I can use the support.

    Feel free to add me too, runners.
    I started 5K runner in Februari, have been training 5K's since this month and did my first race last Saturday. I hope to register for a Colorrun in August (they sell out crazy fast) and have registered for my first 10K on September 21st!

    I'm doing zombie 5k training too! I'm on week four, but I have to admit that I don't finish one training week per actual week. I usually do two days of it a week.
    Oh, and anyone can add me! I'm just starting to get into running, but I'm signed up for a half marathon this November.

    I have a 10K in Sept, I have done the GNR a couple of times (badly) and I'm determined to get a good time at this one.

    Anyone feel free to add me, you can never have too many running friends...

    I would like to start jogging more often! My goal is to do a 5K at some point this year. The color and zombie runs sound like a great time! I'm in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. Anyone else around that area that would like a jogging buddy? I'm thinking of starting just 1 -2 times a week and going from there. I know life is busy :-)

    Anyone feel free to add me! I also swing dance, zumba, and do Jillian Michaels videos for exercise. :-)

    I'm a runner and try to support/motive my MFP friends, this month a few of us are trying 100k for May and no doubt we'll try something else for June.
