    Love running. I have lost 25 and this has made it easier. I have been to get fitted for shoes this helps too. I still get lapped alot by older people. Hate this. My goal is to build up to 1 hour of running without stopping. I also have learned to run with not very much in my belly, never after dinner. Friend me. I try to run 3 days a week.

    Me! I just ran/walked a 5k today - it was my second. I still am not even sure I LIKE running, but with my shoulder injured... it's all I've got! Loving finding more running friends on here. It's a big help :)

    I'm getting back into running after years of being out due to a knee injury. I will be running my first 5K in nearly 17 years in July. I am doing my 5K training now, I just completed week one. Anyone may add me. :-)

    i am trying to learn to love running.

    since its winter here im inside on a treadmill. i started off running for 4 minutes and walking the rest of the 35 minutes i do. ive been adding a minute a week, im up to 9 minutes running non stop now. goal is a 5 minute warm up walk, then 30 minutes running. once i hit that ill work on the speed. :)

    I really want to run a 5k thus August but I'm still at a turtle's pace and can only run about .5 a mile before I have to walk again. Baby steps...

    I started running last year after losing a good chunk of the weight I have been trying to lose. I'm due to run the Peachtree Road Race this July 4, which I promised myself last year I would run this year. I've already run a few 5k and 10k races. Eventually, I would like to run a half marathon, but I'm not there yet.
