Running Friends, where are you?

***Attention*** Hi there! I too am looking for running friends. I finally finisehed my first C25K this year. I've started 4 of them but thanks to a local runnign group I actually finished one AND on the second 5k I got my goal (and new PR) a sub 30 mn 5k (29:20). The head of the local running group said (and is pushing me) to do a half marathon on March 15th. YIKES!!!....
Looking for friends and running advice and encouragement. Please feel free to add me as well.

Thanks

    I will send you a request. Anyone else can too for that matter. I'm always looking for running friends. I have been running for about a year now and had 2 running injuries in there. Not fun!! I'm back, healthy again, and am contemplating training for a half marathon in May. Just seeing if I have the guts to do it. LOL!

    Congrats on finishing C25K and running your race.

    Im about 6 weeks into the c25k program, does that count? I NEVER thought I would ever enjoy running! I am working towards maybe doing a 5k fun run in the spring, after that- who knows. :smile:

    Anyone feel free to add me too. I ran three 1/2 marathons last year and would love to do a full marthon in 2014. I log into MFP pretty much daily and running is one of my favorite activities. Would love to give and receive encouragement from other runners!
  • Anyone can add me too. I have down a few halfs and have my first full in April. Scary times.

    Hi there, you may add me too! I've started the C25K program several years before, but I always ran very comfortably. It wasn't 'til this august that I started to join races (Color run) and I got excited when I realized that running while being surrounded by a large group made me run faster and lighter. I even ran one 10K in september.
    My ultimate running goal for this year is to be comfortable in running 10Ks and to be able to run a half marathon by the end of the year.
    Regards,
    Bouneschlupp

    What is the C25K anyone?

    I like running. Have done about 12 races in 2013 including my first marathon just before Christmas
