    I'm Cat, 33, located in Northern VA. I have been a runner for the last few years, recreationally of course, but ran my first half marathon November 15, 2014! Already scheduled to do the Richmond Half next Nov. 14, 2015 and am planning on doing at least one other. Looking to do a full in 2016! :-)

    Hello! I'm Candace, 18, I'm from the heart of Missouri (seriously, I'm smack dab in the middle of it). If you want me to be completely honest with you, I have always hated running with a passion but yet have always been extremely jealous of people who are very athletic. I want to be a runner, I want to be able to run a marathon by the time I'm 24. I'm really excited about this though! :D

    I turned 50 this year and decided I've spent 1/2 of a century being pretty much a couch potato with regards to exercise. I don't like exercise. But I do like being healthy. So, my goal is to move. I love to hike and 7 miles a week sounds very doable.

    New Years wishes for all to gain in health!!

    HI all, Emma, 34, only joined MFP yesterday, haven't quite figured it all out yet, but I like this goal, I think its something that I can reasonably achieve. I run a bit, more so on the treadmill but trying to get out onto the roads; hope to do a few 10k s comfortably this year, fingers crossed :)

    Hi all! I'm Shayne from North Carolina. I'm 47 with a very energetic five year old son! I ran my first 5K in July of this year and it felt great! I always wanted to become a runner! But now I have been working out but not running. I think this group sounds like a great way to get motivated and try another 5K in 2015. Hey, I have got to be able to keep up with my kid! LOL

    Hi I am Marie from ontario, I have never been a runner but would like to be. I enjoy walking so I know the 7 miles a week should be good for me and I am hoping by the end of the year I am running at least once a week a 5 mike run.

I have done 5k's in the past but have had my life get in the way, so I am planning to run a 5k in May therefore I have a lot of work to do . I like to have to be accountable so this challenge will be perfect for me. Thank you.

    Kristin in Michigan. Although I wasn't the strongest runner, I was a runner. Tore my ACL in September at a mud run and have surgery planned for spring. Need to keep moving. For now it is only walking since the knee goes backwards and sideways. Have tried to get in some jogs but ouch. Off to buy new shoes to see if it helps. Thanks for the motivation to be consistent!

    Hi! Kellyann in NJ here. I'm 35 years old and a single mom to a VERY active 6 year old! I have done a few 5K's in years past of walking and running combos, and finally completed one running the whole way with my brother last Easter. After a knee injury and a lot of excuses, I let it all go, and now I am committed to getting back to it and running another one by the end of this year and being a good example for my son. My new treadmill is being delivered on Wednesday and I can't wait to switch between that and being outside!!! What a great group!

    Hi. I'm Angelina from Malaysia. I want to start running and I think this group is a great platform for me to do it. I get to run and the best part is I know somewhere, at the other side of the globe, I have new friends running with me!

    I'm Chandalynn from Missouri. I've tried running a few times, but have never been able to keep with it whether it be weather or injury, but this year I'm not going to allow myself to make any excuses. My goal is to run my first 5K this summer.
