I've done 5k's, 10k's and just completed my first half-marathon a few weeks ago. Add me if you are into running or need encouragement!

    I *think* I may be into running, does that count? :laugh:

    Seriously, though, I just completed Wk 3, D2 earlier this evening and this was the first time I actually felt great throughout the run instead of like I was going to die in 0.2 seconds.

    Hopefully this trend continues :smile:

    Yeah I'm doing the Turkey Trot here in Raleigh, NC. The weather should be mild next week so hopefully it will be a good run.

    That will also give us some extra calories on MFP :)

    I am definitely a Runner! I run every night after work and run anywhere between 6-12kms! I love the feeling of running!

    Congrats on all of your running accomplishments!

    I just started running myself. Started with C25K, first 5k was in October and now am going to run a turkey trot (5 miles) on Thanksgiving. Going to wait until next year for the half marathon.

    I'm a wanna be runner! I could definitely use some motivation and encouragement :)

    I run 3 times a week. My goal is to do a half marathon. Got back into running in September, was on crutches for a stress fracture for 9 weeks. Before the injury I did a 5k and a 10k and now after the injury I've done a 5k. Signed up for a turkey trot on Thanksgiving and look forward to losing weight and running better.

    I'm more of a "wogger" than a runner but I do enjoy it & am always looking for ideas, tips, etc. that I can use or pass along. Especially need ideas for how you all stay charged during the winter. I don't use a treadmill, just a Nordic Track. Happy Running!

    Sounds like you're on you way back, wtg.

    My first was a blast. I can't wait to do my second. And eventually move up to a full!

    I usually run through the Winter. I just dress warmer. After a few minutes once I'm warmed up I'm fine!

    I've never belonged to a gym so running outdoors is all I know :)
