I'm kind of new to the running game. I started running last year, I run 5km quite frequently on my cardio days.
I just singed up for the Around The Bay Race in Hamilton, Ontario its a 30km run in March. I may have bit off more
then I can chew but, I like to set the bar high. So feel free to add me and I also love doing Tough Mudders!

    I am a new runner as well. Training for a half marathon in April. My math skills are bad, so converting km into miles is not my strength =)

    Thanks! that helps! That is a great goal- how many miles do you do now? Have you looked into any training programs?

    I can run half of that now and yes I've looked into training programs but I think I need to weight train my legs more and do some more core training. They call the course a mini Boston Marathon because of the inclines and stufff.

    Hey! I live in Muskoka, Ontario and started running at the beginning of last year. This year I am looking to run a couple of 5Ks and maybe something more challenging!

    Feel free to add me! I'd love to watch you reach your goals!

    I did the Scotia Waterfront Half Marathon in October. Kudos to you for setting the bar high!

    Been running for a couple of years, not a fast runner, more the tortoise than the hare, but currently training for a marathon in April. The more running buds, the better I think especially for motivation, anyone is free to add me :)
