in Introduce Yourself
Hi. Friends are slowly diminishing as year goes on.

I like to run. (when I am not injured) Long story short, I am coming off an injury. My goal last year this time was to run an ENTIRE half marathon. I unfortunately got hip bursitis and sidelined. My goal continues. So far I have done 3 half marathons with a 4th in 2 weeks (walking d/t hip). I am on the mend though and I would like more support.

A little about me: 39, single mom of one (beautiful) daughter. I start grad school next Monday! (I am a bit intimidated about the time management thing). I also work a full-time job.

I occasionally forget to log on days I work 12 hour shifts but for the most part I log in every day.

Please feel free to add me: young, old, fit, fat, somewhere in between, it doesn't matter! : )

    Hey there! I'm a runner(ish - I go through phases, partly because I live at 7200 feet so winter running isn't that fun). I'm doing a half marathon on Sunday, my 7th I believe. I'll add you. Sorry to hear about your hip but good for you for still planning to walk it!

    Runner here! Training for 3 half marathons right now. Oct 25th, Dec 14th and January 25th. Possibly training for a full early next year. Running partner and I are still seeing if we can fit it into our training and still taper for the half's.

    Also working on hopefully doing the Ironman 70.3 Austin next year. My swimming needs some work :) Feel free to add me.

    Running friends are always a great thing! I'm 32, have been running for about 5 years, but always struggle with my weight (living proof that exercise alone won't keep you thin!) - this year started on triathlons - I've done a few sprint distances and have my first olympic distance in about a week and a half (eek!!). I always struggle with the line between eating enough to perform, yet little enough to slim down. My pattern is usually two steps forward and one step back.

    Will add you - and anyone else interested in an active lifestyle, feel free to add me, as well!

    xoxo

    I just started to run again after a long long loooooong hiatus. My idealistic goal is to run the Chicago marathon in 2015, my realistic goal is to at least run a couple of 10Ks next year. Anyone feel free to add me. Always looking for fellow runners to share tips.
