Looking for a few friends who enjoy running as much as I do! I am jumping back on the wagon and would love to get into some races this year, and get to know some people to share info with!

    Hi! I'm what you call a chronic runner! I go through phases! Right now, I'm back in it. Just started running over the new year so far I am able to run about a mile and a half at a time. I know from past experience to start slow when upping my mileage. I've run a marathon in the past (Chicago) and did the San Diego Rock N Roll half marathon last June. Nice to meet you all!:happy:

    I'd consider myself a runner. I've slowed down now thanks to all the snow and ice covering my beautiful pavement (the treadmill just isn't as exciting). But this summer I ran 4 km (2.5 miles) every 2 days in about 26 minutes at my peak. I also participated in my first races ever! The first race was a 5km. The second was a 4.2km obstacle course. I didn't place in either race, but the fact that I made it to the finish line in both was a big ego booster. :) I plan on starting my training as soon as spring comes by and participate again for some medals this year.

    I just got back from a 7 mile run! I pretty much squealed with joy when I saw temperatures were going to be above freezing today in Boston, despite having to dodge some snow & ice, the weather was perfect for a winter run!

    I run pretty much exclusively but am looking to add in some strength now that I can't run outside as much. I just haven't found anything I love a much as running, which is something I never thought I'd say in A MILLION years

    See my profile for my full story =)

    I'm not in any of the leagues of any of the serious runners in this post, but I'm moving from 5k to 10k and I'd welcome any support. Also happy to give support, but can't guarantee it will be remotely helpful Add away...

    this is awesome! I'm hoping to get into atleast a couple 5K's and a 10K. Maybe a half marathon if I can get my butt into gear :) and eventually I would like to do a Tough Mudder, Spartan Race, and any other race I can find !

    (raising hand!)

    Yep--I run! I've done Honolulu, San Diego, and Madrid Marathons. Madrid kicked my butt, but I finished!

    I'm resigned to doing a half this year since I tore my knee tendon (injury not from running).

    * * * Anyhow, add me if you want another runner friend! Glad to offer and receive support from another runner! * * *

    I enjoy pairing my running challenges with fundraising in my brother's name. I lost my brother to leukemia so I participate in lots of Team in Training events (through Leukemia and Lymphoma Society) for support and for turning grief into action.

    I'm running pretty slow these days since gaining the weight, but I know running is my key to my fit body! :)

    Oh, forgot to mention -- the half I am set on doing this year is the one in Washington DC sponsored by NIke. It's in April. Plenty of time to get in great shape and it's a scenic, cool course!
