in Introduce Yourself
I'm looking to add friends who are dedicated runners. I just got into running 2 months ago, and have already knocked my 5K time down to 24:40 after starting at 34 minutes back in January. I'm looking to add friends who are also runners whose daily activities I can follow. If you are a runner and daily MFP user, please add me!

    I'm a runner. A slow runner. I'm not sure about the daily MFP user part though. I just joined yesterday and haven't learned my way around quite yet.

    I've just recently found my love for running. I'm in the middle of the 10k trainer app... just about to the point of being able to run a 5k straight through, not very fast though yet! I'm a daily MFP user!

    Well, when I was in the army, I ran frequently... Got out of hte military, got lazy and fat. I recently started the C25K program, because I love running as long as no one is telling me I HAVE to do it... I log daily, but am just starting my running program (3 weeks in, though took most of this week off due to a tummy bug, weather and a disdain for running on a treadmill). You're welcome to add me, if that's 'runner' enough for you. :) I'm planning on running the 'foam fest' in Baltimore this July.

    I've just started a group for runners interested in improving their 5K times -- why not join up?

    I'm a runner! I ran my first 3 races last year, a 10k, 4 miler, and 5k. I just signed up for my first two races of the season, and I'm looking to improve my times... and maybe potentially place? :smile:

    Daily user and a runner. So far I've got 3 5ks under my belt this year. Completed 12 in 2012. Goal is to complete a half at some point. Not a speedy runner but super motivated.

    I've been running every day since last August just for the sake of being able to convince some doctors that i'm doing everything possible to be as healthy as necessary for them to agree to take my kidney....That way when my blood pressure was up I could say ''look, I'm doing everything you medical types say to do with high blood pressure....can't say I'm not trying!"

    Anyhoo, I'm up to just about 18k at a pop now....I'm nowhere near as fast as you, though. I did 17.9 in about an hour and 35 a few weeks ago. I'm not a marathoner, though. I don't have the kind of money to throw down on registering for a race when I could just walk out my door any day of the week and run that distance if I wanted to.

    I run and am training for the Cherry Blossom 10 miler coming up in 2 weeks. The weather has been awful here so not sure how I'll do this time around.

    I'm a runner, one marathon, a few 5Ks, but like to run slow and long distance. Run between 45-50 miles every week and can't stand to take a day off. Gives me complete joy and trains my mind for all areas of my life.

    Hello. I'm a slow runner.....Actually...I am not running right now because of an injury. I completed my first half in September of 2013. I was scheduled to do one in about a month but had to bail. I have one scheduled for September and I have very little doubt I will be completing it. Feel free to add me!

    You already added me but I've been on and off with running for the past year. I'm also going to try to improve my 5K time and run a steady half marathon in June. It will good to have someone to keep me going!
