    * What's your deal? Married? Kids? Job? Favorite cereal?
    Divorced (but it's not final until another 30 days), but I have a boyfriend, who I love. I have 2 kids. I'm a full time mum, but I do freelance photography. Fav cereal, weetbix or homemade museli.

    I started running last year, but not regularly. I had on my goal of things to achieve to finish a 5km race. And it went from there. I now call myself a runner. I love it, everything about it. I love how it makes me feel, how it clears my head, and it's never boring. I live in the country, so I get to do a lot of trail runs, which i totally love. Beats the footpath or a treadmill anyday.

    - Do you wear compression socks?

    I just started using CEP compression calf sleeves... I can use my own socks with them but I am not convinced they do anything other than draw attention my way on the road (they're neon pink lol)

    - How many "official" races have you participated in?

    Too many to remember. I'm doing 5 this summer though. Running a half marathon this coming Saturday.

    - What's your average pace for an "easy" run?

    About 6:15-6:30min/km (about 10-10:30 min/mile)

    - Do you run in the AM or PM?

    Usually the morning. Nights are hot here. In the fall/spring I'll run whenever. I'm a sissy in the winter.

    - What's your deal? Married? Kids? Job? Favorite cereal?

    Widowed, remarried, SAHM of 5 kids (my 2 and 3 step kids). Cap'n Crunch is my crack.

    welcome back! I'm requesting you and others from this thread... need more running friends.


    - Do you wear compression socks? No but I've heard they are great for recovery

    - How many "official" races have you participated in? just a few, a 4mi, 15k, and half marathon. My next half is coming up in November which seems like a long way away, and so I've been slacking a bit on my training.

    - What's your average pace for an "easy" run? I aim for 9min miles on my "easy 3mi" runs. Slowing to 10:00-10:30 on long runs in this heat

    - Do you run in the AM or PM? Usually try for early morning runs. Love going at dusk though too.

    - What's your deal? Married? Kids? Job? Favorite cereal? Single, w sexy boyfriend and a big dog who is my occasional running partner when it's not too hot! I loooooove junky cereal, typically eat frosted mini wheats or kashi, but supplement with Fruity Pebbles, Frosted Flakes, Lucky Charms or Reese's puffs for snacks. Terrible, I know!
