    But you run with scissors. What if we bump into each other? It could become a very gory crime scene.

    I'm a walker, not a runner but I did enjoy your attention grabber. :bigsmile: :drinker:

    Newbie here just started Base Training with a HM in August and Marathon in September, purposefully running slowly at the minute trying to build up my base before training starts proper in May.

    I'm a runner! Also a swimmer and a biker.

    One full and three half-marathons under my belt.

    I'm not the fastest, but I'm fast enough, and I love to run :)

    I'm not a runner but wanted to say Hi and wish you well. Maybe if you fill out your profile and let runners know a little bit about you, what you do now, what your goals are, you'd find running friends faster. Tip from my Mom: never run with scissors.

    Good Topic mate... I have friends who actually had a band that was called Running with Scissors... the band's name was always an attention grabber. And it was contrived due to advice from their Moms - Never run with scissors.

    I'm not running yet, just fast walking.. but I know I am getting stronger every week. When I shed another 20 lbs and my weight won't be so nasty on my knees, then that walk will turn into a jog and then a run.

    Always nice to meet positive individuals, well new people to add me as their friend here on MFP - which I find to be just a fabulous group of peeps... Have a great Fryday everyone..

    Cheerz!

    So the real question is, who runs with what? I prefer all metal scissors over the ones with plastic handles.

    I did have to run yesterday(6 miles) with my keys-4 plus keyfob-alarm device. It was difficult, to say the least without any pockets!. hehehe! They went into my Speedo "Splice" bottoms!
    Difficult, but I did it! :smile:

    Yeah, I usually tie my house and car keep to my shoes, but I'm always nervous they'll go flying off and I won't hear them. One time, I did a 10k with a Venti Starbucks in hand.

    I actually jog with a machete in my hand. ...it's a great tool, as I find it gets the people around me running as well. Exercise for everyone!
