Hey all, I am a recent comeback kid with an almost empty friends list. What I would really love to find is a couple of people who have similar goals as me. this year I have run a Color Me Rad 5k and a 4 mile run, but will be traing for a 10k, and my ultimate goal is to run a marathon by the time I am 30! if you have similar goals, please add me, I want to be your friend! :flowerforyou:

    Hi guys. I have recently caught the running bug. I ran four miles on Friday. This is the furthest I have run, so proud of myself and all I want to do is go out running again! Feel free to add me as I embark on my running journey :-)

    I'm a new runner and I've done two 5ks so far, training for a 10k in April and who knows after that. I'm a bit older than you though, will be 40 soon.

    I ran in my 30s with a goal of running a marathon by the time I was 40. I got up to 13 miles, but hurt my back and couldn't run again. Now, it's 10 years later and I realize that no workouts excite me like running. For 2012, my goal is to run a 5k a month. I'm very slow, and can barely do the 3 miles. I started Insanity 5 weeks about (just started month 2), and hope this will build my core enough to get better with my runs. Ultimately, I'd love to do a marathon when I'm 50! I have a little over 2 years.

    I started running in May and I can say that I am addicted!!! I have run the Color Run 5k, a 3.8 mi trail run and have a Halloween 5k this sat. I average about 9-15 miles per week (for now!!!). I am pushing for some 10k races next year and perhaps a half by fall. I would LOVE to run a marathon in the next 2-3 years!!

    Feel free to add :)

    Another new runner here! I did my first 5k a few weeks ago, and have 2 more scheduled this year. My goal is to do 6 races in 2013, and then hopefully be ready for a 10k. I am a slow runner, but love it!
