    I love running...only recently got back into it this year and it has been 7 years since I ran cross country in high school. i have completed 3 5ks so far this fall with a 10k scheduled at the end of January. I am currently training for that and would love to work up to a half marathon and eventually a full marathon. Anyone please feel free to add me as I love hearing about successes, races, etc.! :)

    you can add me. I love running too. I can only do a mile straight so far and that is only most days not all. I would like to be able to do a 5k some day. I am the only person around me that runs that I know of so I would love to glean some information from everyone.

    Feel free to add me. I have been running for about 9 years. I've run 3 marathons, around 10 half marathons and various other races and shorter distances. I'm a Boston qualifier and plan to run it in 2014.

    feel free to add me. my story is very similar (minus the kids and well i'm 40). i started running when i was 25 just so i could loose weight for my wedding. wedding was over and so was running until i turned 38 then a friend asked me to run an 8k with her. like a fool (and not knowing how far an 8k really was) i said sure why not. completed the race in 1:24 and then quit again. turned 40 in april and decided to get serious. now i'm enjoying it. i've completed 2 mud runs, a color me rad run, (all 5ks), a 10k (1:14) and completed my local 5k turkey trot (best time 33:10). this coming sunday i'll be running the very same 8k i ran 2 years ago and hope to finish in 56 minutes. next year i plan on running a half (plus a few mud runs and at least another 10k). my ultimate goal is to compete in the boston marathon in 2014!

    congratulations on your accomplishments!!!!

    I started running Sept 2011.

    we had a love hate relationship. We now have a love relationship. I love running.

    No more races for me this year. It's getting too hot. But my 1st event for 2013 will be a tough Mudder.

    When I first started running, my mission was to run a 5km. The 1st time took me about 40 mins. My pb (in one year) is 23.46.

    So yes i love running, feel free to add me.

    I'd love more running friends too! I started running a year ago and just ran a 17.2km race... (awkward distance I know).. Anyway looking to train for a half is next.
    Would definitely love some running buddies and I promise to be a good one back!

    I started running this past spring. I literally got off the school bus one day and said, "I'm tired of feeling so bad about myself and not doing anything about it, I'm going to go for a run!" I was SO LAZY so I could barely run for one minute at first and now I'm in college and working on 20+ minutes without stopping! (I was also able to do this over the summer but got off track with letting a foot tattoo heal) I've literally fallen in love with running. I wish I had done track or XC in school because now I just run by myself. Which is still nice, but you know.
    Anyway, the only race I've only done was the Color Run and I went with my friend who wanted to walk the majority of it.

    Feel free to add me! :]

    I'm a runner; I've only ever done the Warrior Dash 2011 in Maryland and 2012 Charlotte. I'm currently training hoping to do my first half marathon in March of 2013 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. I've never run that far...so this is really a challenge. I am using Hal Higdon's Novice1 training for a half.

    I am also signed up for the Reindeer Romp Dec 8th...I'm excited about it..I have antlers and my friend bought my a shining nose LOL

    Add me if you like...

    I started running back in the spring and ran my first 5km race since high school back in September (finished in 27:30 and came in 6th in my age group!). I'm building up to 10km and so far, I'm up to 7.5km in 42 minutes.

    ETA: Current run schedule is 25km/week (two 7.5km runs and two 5km runs).

    I'm just finishing up couch to 5k - I started specifically BECAUSE I hated running and wanted to prove to myself I could do it. Going to sign up for my first 5k hopefully around Feb because even though I can run the 30mins that's not 5k yet.

    I really want to do an obstacle race later in the year too.

    Would love some runner friends but I have to admit I'm a bit erratic about commenting so don't add me if it annoys you when people don't comment every day.

    I am just starting the C25K would love some running friends to help keep me motivated. I use to in my 30's and was in the best shape of my life, but got away from it. Once I hit 40 my metabolism has took a nose dive and I need to get in shape and take better care of myself. Feel free to add me!

    I used to run in high school many many many years ago *cough cough* I started seriously running in February of this year, after finishing C25K, I have run several 5k's, a Warrior Dash, a10K and a half marathon. Never ever thought I would be able to run the entire half marathon without walking, but anything is possible. Running has not only helped me with weightloss but it has given me such boost of self confidence. I have also met several others who also share the same love of running. Feel free to add me, love having runner cyber buddies :drinker:
