Hey there! I've been kind of looking for something similar lately... My mother lives in Tega Cay, and she and I will occasionally go on walks together, as a way to catch up and be more active. Our schedules don't often line up though, so it doesn't happen too often. I've tried to get my BF interested, but he's not really into exercise, so that's kind of failed, haha. I know that I'd be more likely to exercise regularly if there was someone else around pushing me to do it (or if there was someone I could encourage, I guess), so that's what I'm hoping I can do through MFP.

As a bit of a side note/discussion, I do see a lot of people in my area in the mornings and afternoon, walking or jogging, and yes, I would love to be the type of person to just walk up and introduce myself, but it's harder to do in person than online, and I guess I don't know what kind of reaction I would get. Would people get weirded out if someone walked up to them out of the blue during their routine, and asked to join in? Seems like a fitness faux pas to me, but... If anyone can share thoughts on this, or better tips to connect with locals, I'd be interested in hearing it
