    "Where Are You From" is a lot different from "Where Do You Run, Now." Born in Michigan, grew up in Massachusetts, moved back to Michigan and then met my husband online - he lives in Illinois, so now I do, too.

    Northwest suburbs of Chicago. Elgin, specifically. I don't know how to run slow enough to carry on a conversation, yet - it's only been 4 years. I'm still working on it. I don't tend to do any real social running, but I'd be happy to look out for whichever of you are running a race I'm signed up in. Right now, all I have on the table is Run For the Zoo in Lincoln Park Zoo (Chicago) in June, and Muddy Monk Nearly Sane Trail Half Marathon (Lincolnshire) in August. I might sign up for a mud run or 2 - Warrior Dash usually holds a race near Grand Rapids, Michigan mid-September, which is a nice birthday run for me.

    Small world.... I live in Elgin too!! I run slow and still can't carry on a conversation. At least not a very good one. :)

    Washington, DC. Wonderful place to be a runner! Summers are hot, yes, but we have such a long, beautiful fall.

    Spent a 3 day long weekend in your fair city about 15 yrs ago, was not enough time, so much to see. Spent most of my time wandering around the museums, Lincoln memorial etc.

    I live in San Marcos TX, about 15 miles from Austin TX. I haven't seen anyone near by, which is a shame because I would love a new running buddy

    Hey all, I'm from the Memphis area. Decided at the ripe old age of 61 that I would like to take up running. My family thought I had lost my mind, and if you have ever been in Memphis in July they may not have been far off the mark. I absolutely fell in love with this. I work way too much to run as often as I would like, but I try to run with my group one night a week, run with a friend one day out of the weekend, and hit the treadmill at least one more morning a week. I bike twice a week and work out. We are lucky enough to have a great rails-to-trails Greenline here. So that's my story -

    I live in East Texas, Longview. Usually run/jog/walk by myself, but am open to weekend runs with a local group if anyone is interested.

    I'm a 5 hour flight east of New York. That's Waterford on south east coast of Ireland. If you're flying overhead, I'm the guy doing the slow jogging. Be sure to wave Hi!
