Anyone from the NJ/NYC area that wants a run buddy?

Options
I'm from Jersey (very close to lower Manhattan) and I'm looking for a run buddy. There are some upcoming races in NYC (including a half marathon) that I have my eyes on. None of my friends want to run with me--yes, they suck. Anyone else looking for a run buddy? I'm in decent shape but I'm still a beginner. Inbox me. :o)
