    I haven't been much of a runner but I am about to start a 13 week program which at the end I should hopefully be able to run a 10k. I want to make running a permanent part of my lifestyle.

    More of a jogger at the moment, but working up to being a runner. Want to run that 10k and earn my running shorts! LOL

    I run, just about everyday. I was doing 5k's daily but now I am just doing 2 miles in the morning and some lifting and sprints in the afternoon.

    I recently started running again after recovering from surgery. I'm currently "training" for a variety of 5 and 10K's, running about 4-5X a week. I eventually would like to do a half marathon.

    I love running! :)

    I want to be a runner but don't do it enough - I always end up with a killer headache after no matter how much water I drink xxx

    Don't sell yourself short. If you are out there doing it, no matter what your pace, you are a RUNNER.

    I'm an off and on runner. I can usually run for a couple of months before my knee starts to give me problems. When it gets bad, I take a few months off then jump back in again for a while. Someday I hope to have insurance so I can figure out the knee and get it fixed. I think it's the lateral meniscus giving me trouble.

    Yuuup! I average about 15-20 miles a week. I've ran 3 half-marathons this year (and many shorter races) and my next one is in Oct. It's addictive!!

    I started running in Feb '11. I never thought I'd run ... ever...never had any desire to run until I was walking one day and saw someone running, at a very slow pace, but realized that their heart rate was probably higher than mine and burning more calories. I now run every day and have completed several 5K races...winning several of them, and completed my first 1/2 marathon with an awesome time!

    Are you looking to start running??

    Startd running last March after having my second baby. NEVER LOOKED BACK! Log anywhere from 20-30 miles a week.

    Now if I could just get this running gear/running shoe addiction under control we(my bank account and husband) would be content too!

    Thanks :) It feels good to be getting back into it, no matter the pace. Proud to have done my first 5k event and want to do many more!

    Slow your pace down, do intervals, meaning walk 1 min, run 1 min, walk 2 mins run 2 mins. It will help get your oxygen flow regulated and get your body accustomed running.
