I'm starting on Wednesday. Anyone want to join me? Maybe, if we add each other as friends we can encourage each other.
Running shoes at the ready?

I'm off to work now but I'll be back to see if anyone's interested later!

    I was new, hurt my shin, and now I'm back! My goal is to run 20 races this season. The only definitive races I have are the Shamrock Shuffle (8K) in April, Half Marathon in October and the Color Run (5K) in October. Just started with Hal Higdon's 8K training program Monday so I can slowly build the muscles in my feet, ankles, and shins--unlike before when I just started running without a plan of gradual increase. After the 8 weeks are up I'll move on to Half training.

    I'd love to have some fellow runners as friends on here and Fitbit. :-)

    Well, I have not officially started, but signed up for a partner at the gym. I need someone to run/train with me otherwise, I know I will lose motivation. My goal is to be able to run a 5k this spring.

    I've been running for about 5 months, started with c25k just about done 10k for pink. Think ill continue with this distance for a bit and then tackle a 1/2 marathon training plan. Don't really plan on doing any races but more for breaking my own personal records but who knows what the future holds. Always like more running friends so feel free to add me

    I will hopefully be starting running again next week after I get the okay from my physiotherapist (pending the treadmill test run/walk going well). I will be doing Couch to 5k again, or maybe a modified version of it depending how my recovering knee handles it. I have done the program before and was working on the Bridge to 10k, I recommend both programs for sure!

    Welcome to the world of running. :)

    Went to the gym yesterday, and I was extremely proud of beating the person next to me on the treadmill. I know it's not a competition, but I have never EVER considered myself to be a runner, but I managed to run for 30 mins at a quicker speed than the person next to me, and that made me really proud.

    I'm starting again after being put off track by an injury in August. Hopefully I will be able to do a 5K or 10K by the end of February.

    I started 2weeks ago and have so far done 3 runs (8.5miles, 15.1miles and 8.3miles), also signed up for my local half marathon in March. Got my running watch the other day so exciting times and hopefully it'll help me up the pace.

    Oh and hello, how rude of me
