in Introduce Yourself
I'm just getting really into running and I'm hoping to run my first 5k in March this year.

I'm looking for other runners out there that I could become friends with and get their knowledge on running!! :smile:

    I'm only just a runner, I've been doing the nhs couch to 5k program I'm on week 7 and can now do a slow jog for half an hour. What a difference a few weeks makes!

    I've been running for about 7 months now, starting with the C25K program - I've done 2 5Ks so far and am looking forward to spring for more of them! Add me if you like. :)

    I'm a runner...well I'm getting back into it. Mostly doing it on the treadmill now because I hate the snow and cold and in my area of Canada there's plenty of it this time of year. Feel free to add me fellow runners!

    I finished c25k in October and ran my first 5k in November. Now I run 3x a week - 3-4 miles. I am trying to increase my distance to 5 miles this month. Feel free to friend me!

    Hey! I am running my first 5k in March too. =) The 24th, to be exact. I am back after almost a year off, and training a lot slower and smarter. I used to just force myself to run what my friends were running and wound up CONSTANTLY injured. =p So... c25k it is.
    Please add me if you want to!

    I just started the Couch-to-5K a few weeks ago -- signed up for my first 5k in March! It was hard to stick with it at first, but now I'm excited about it. I've never been a runner, but so far so good! Plus I get inspired by the cute running clothes I bought to run in :-) that really helped me get motivated!!

    I started running in May of last year, by joining Team In Training. I did my 1st half marathon in October (Detroit Free Press). I'm still crazy slow but plugging away. Running is seriously frustrating! I dealt with a knee issue after only a few weeks & then intense shin splints for several months. I didn't think I would ever enjoy running. Feel free to add me- hopefully we can motivate each other!

    Oh & your ticker is from the Detroit Tigers- are you in Michigan? I'm in Macomb County. :)

    I'm just restarting C25K again and eyeing a 5k the end of March. We'll see how it goes, though.

    Hi, I'm new on here but I'd love to be friends! :) I used to be a runner in elementary and high school and I ran track, marathons, etc... but I started slacking and am trying to get back into it! I hope to be able to do a 5k again soon! Hope you don't mind if I add you! I really need some friends on here for motivation! :D

    I'm a runner, try to get out 3-4 times a week rain or shine, and well maybe snow today. Trying to get ready to do the Warrior Dash this summer. I tend to joke around a lot and have fun, because this is my life and I'm gonna enjoy it. Feel free too add me the more the merrier and good luck to all you runners!
