in Introduce Yourself
Hi,

My name is Lina and I'm 27 years old and I live in Stockholm, Sweden.

I'm using MFP mainly to better keep track of how I'm eating with the goal to build a stronger body and become a better runner. I'm into long distance running and I would love for any runners out there to add me but of course anyone is welcome, runner or not :)

I also hope to lose some of my extra weight and replace it with muscles!

Hope to hear from you!

Lina

    Hi - I have been running for over 20 years, but was sidelined by a knee injury 2 years ago. Since then, I gained 30 pounds and I look horrible!! I am just now easing my way back into running and it feels great to be back in the saddle, but hard to start back up with all this extra weight! I am only running twice a week now and it is a combination run/walk for now.....other days I bike, swim, or do the elliptical. Anyway, feel free to add me if you'd like:)

    Going to send a FR. I'm new to running, only started getting 'serious' the last few months. I put serious in quotes because I'm still really slow, but okay with that--I'm not out to win races, just of finish them. :tongue: Training for my first 1/2 marathon coming up in September.

    Feel free to add me. I enjoy running short or long distance and always looking to improve my pace. So far I completed two marathons and now looking to participate in a Urban or mud run soon.

    I have been doing MFP for a couple of years. Just re-started along with wearing a Fitbit PLUS a weekly body composition weigh in. Hoping this will do trick as post-divorce I gained 2.5st (ugh!)
    Running wise, I just completed C25K which is brilliant BTW and am now doing 5K ( quite slowly) but now I have nailed the distance, I will increase the speed.
    Just hope all the Apps & monitoring do the trick!

    I've only been running for the past year and I'm not very fast but I've done a half marathon and a couple of 10k's. In Training for my next half at the moment. I'm also getting in to strength training and weights to try and make me a better runner - and I'm not dedicated enough to run every day!

    Love running!

    Run so that I can eat my ice cream everyday, run so that I won't turn into the high-strung cat of my profile photo, run so that I don't go on a rampage and kill everyone in sight (tbh, I think my killing act would be selective. Do you feel feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya?)

    Although I can achieve all of that without running, I doubt I will look as good doing it without running than with running. What's my point, again? Oh yeah, I love running.

    Will send a FR. I love running, I'm absolutely no good at it, but love it anyway. Have run several 5ks and someday would like to do a half. In my wildest dreams I would entertain the idea of a marathon. I would LOVE to have more running friends so anyone else here can feel free to add me too!

    Hey, logged in about 690 consecutive days so relatively active, lost 70lbs a year or so back and maintained until about 3months ago when I had surgery and put about a stone back on. I'm now back into the groove and in marathon/triathlon training so could do with extra motivation and I'll try and aid as well as I can. Throw a request if this sounds good and if not good luck :)

    Yes I've copy and pasted my reply from another post I commented on, yes I'm lazy.

    Hi! I'm 27 and don't consider myself "a serious runner" by any means since I'm finishing c25k right now but I used to compete as a teenager and that's where my heart is. My goal is to run a (half) marathon next year. It would be awesome to see some new faces in my news feed. Please, feel free to add me, and let's motivate each other!

    I have been running for about three and a half years... ran a couple of 5ks the first year, then got caught up in minimalist shoes, trail running and ultras. Up to about 40-45 miles a week... ran my first ultra in April and doing two more this fall. Yeah... I love running... You can add me if you want....I never get sick of talking about running...lol

    I run mainly because I have to. I am in the Airforce so running is a mandatory thing for me. I was not a runner at all before I joined. I would like to get faster at running and would love to do a mud run or 10K one day (Ive only done 5Ks). Request sent. :smile:
