***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!

    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

    A lot of the experienced members were very instrumental in my progression as a runner over the last year.
