    feel free to add me. I'm still a relatively new runner, but I've gone through one round of half marathon training, run two half marathons in nov & dec last year..... and am currently in 'training' for a half again, but using it as a jump start on training for tribal quest..... on the docket this year, in addition to tribal quest, are a couple 5k's, a couple 10k's and another half marathon. :)

    Hi, I stopped running for a while but am back into it, doing the Strava challenge of 150 miles in January and so far got through 50 of them. Planning a half marathon in April.

    Working for my second half. Coming back from a calf pull, so distances are lower.

    Hi I have been running about 2 1/2 years about to do my second half marathon in May. Have entered marathons twice but always lose my nerve as the day approaches. Add me if you want.

    Hi, I started running from scratch in may last year, ran lots of half marathon and beyond as training runs ( not a bib/medal collector) but training for my firsts marathon in Toronto this may. I'm not fast by any stretch, more motivated by completing the distance. Would love more running friends :-)

    Feel free to add me. I am working on 13 races in 2013. Mostly 5k's so far, but will work up to a 10K by mid year. I have been running since Jan 2012.

    Always love running friends.

    Feel free to add me but I will be "inactive" for a couple weeks come the end of January as I have to have a torn meniscus repaired. I have run a bunch of 5K (even placing in my age group a few times - but easy to do when you are older), ran a 10K, 1 half marathon, atttempted a second one not know I had a torn meniscus and had to wakl it....

    You are welcome to add me. I run 3-4 times a week. I have been running for about 2 years. I have done a half, 20k and have relay/half/20k slated for this year.

    I will vouch for Carsonruns. He is a wealth of great information:).

    Vouching for Carsonruns too! And when you see how much he runs, I find it a motivator to lace up those shoes!!

    I've run one marathon and about 7 halfs in the last 13 months....and a butt load of 5k-10k-15ks...and all those silly training runs ;-) I'm not 'fast' but I'm dedicated. Feel free to add me.

    Goal is to do another marathon this year.....

    I'm always looking for new running friends! I just ran my second half marathon last weekend and have quite a few races lined up for the next few months. Hoping to add a marathon in 2014 :)

    ooh feel free to add me! I love to run and long distances are my favourite! I've finished 2 marathons and 6 halves so far, have another half in 16 days and 2 marathons already scheduled for the year (and a couple more halves). I logged over 1500km last year (keep track because I'm running the equivalent distance of my home city to Marathon Greece before signing up for the Athens Marathon) Am always happy to share strategies and stories and am currently looking at fine tuning my nutrition to make it one more training element so that I can work on being faster - currently not fast, just determined!

    I'm always interested in more runner friends.

    2012 was my best year yet and I'm planning to train for my first ultra this fall!

    I started running again when i quit smoking for two reasons. Because I COULD run again, and so I didn't choke anyone to death. I run a minimum 10-12 miles a week.

    Looking for some good races to sign up for this year.

    Hi there! I'm definitely NOT a sprinter--I'm a slow, semi-fat runner, but I really like running. Started running in February 2011, was really consistent until September 2012, due to illness and some other issues I kind of blew off the last few months and just getting back into it. Will be starting training for my 4th half marathon in a couple weeks and would love the support of talking to other runners, even if we don't live in the same geographic area.

    I love your profile pic: "Keep calm and run on!"

    Just finished a half last weekend. Begin training for a full in June (race date in Dec). I like to plan ahead. Longer distances are best for me because I am a "steady" runner. Not fast but tenacious! Love to add you as a friend!

    I run on plants. I am very physically active with running as my primary activity. I have recently started a plant based diet and also recently improved my 10k time by 4 minutes. Still not fast by any means; it took me 1:02:23 to finish the 10k but it was still my PR. Any runner, please feel free to add me with a brief message please.
