Anyone live around Thompson Ct.? I want to start running (more like jogging) but I need a partner to give me that push to do this with. We can motivate each other.

    Welcome Christine. You are running. That's great!
    We are all here as running partners. Post your runs here and you'll get all sorts of encouragement and motivation. This group is great for that.

    Welcome! What Plexgut said is true! We are all virtual running partners.

    But...if you are looking for some of the social aspects of running, such as clubs and so forth, then I suggest googling for running clubs in your area. You can check with your local running stores as well, as they will know some possible beginner groups. We have a huge running group here....well, several actually...in Memphis, TN. And pretty much everyone who is part of the Memphis Track Club is part of the running group lol.

    The nearest running store I see to you is Rhode Runner in Providence. They might have info on running groups in your area. http://www.rhoderunner.com/pages.asp?pageid=99741

    I'm not sure if this group is close to you or not, but worth a shot for information at least: http://www.tri-valleyfrontrunners.com/

    Just tell them that you're starting the C25k program and would like to find a running group to help motivate you.

    My Running club has definitely a huge part of my success to become a runner.It helps me accountable even when it is cold /dark ...or too humid!!!
    So as Plexgut suggest finding a running club in your area is great advice.

    Too bad there is no "running room/coin des coureurs " stores in your area bc these stores do have running club.

    Thank you all. There's not really any running groups for beginners near me. I need that push to do it or I won't. :sad:

    It's only 30 minutes,3x a week...

    Are you a gym member? Would they let you post a sign asking for a running partner?
