Anyone on here from Christchurch? Looking for people to run/jog/walk Hagley Park with me. Get the dogs/strollers out and maybe go for a coffee after?

    I used to run in Hagley once a week before winter, I'm just waiting for the weather to get better haha. My friend and i used to do yoga afterwards too, it was amazing.

    I've just started running hagley. Love it! Havent tried yoga though. I'm rather highly strung so anything where I have to move slow and keep quiet doesnt really work lol.

    I actually lost a tonne of weight after the EQs! I can't even pinpoint why, but maybe the constant adrenalin pumped up my metabolism?!

    I left NZ July 2011 and did ok for awhile, but now I've packed the weight back on. I would give almost anything to go back to doing C25K around Hagley Park! I did that rain or shine, winter and summer. I never made it past week 5, but it was the routine of doing it that helped me shed weight and tone up.

    I'm from Christchurch and wouldn't mind finding an exercise buddy if anyone is interested in buddying up!

    Sorry - I live to far away from Hagley park to meet up for runs, as we are out in Kaiapoi.
