    Hi, I'm Jenny.I am 35 with two young girls and I am moving to the franklin/brentwood area. My running was put on hiatus when I developed a major case of tendonitis/bursitis and itb syndrome, along with the typical runner's knee. Hoping to get back into shape and back on the road.

    Hi, I'm Linda. I only began running this year and I really enjoy it. I've been meaning to run at Shelby Farms. My boss mentioned something about a Green Line? Anyone ever been?

    I'm in northeast Tennessee. I've been running on and off for about a year. I've just started back after not running most of the summer. Before I stopped, I had built up to 2 miles running at a time. I think I got discouraged because I felt like I was never going to get past 2 miles. I'm back at it trying to improve and become the runner I want to be. I've done four 5ks this year and one 3k. Didn't have the greatest times but they were fun.

    Hi, I'm Deborah. I am a running newbie, even though I've started to run about half a dozen times throughout my life. And every time I pick it up again, it's easier than the last time. My goal is to stick with it this time and get up to the distances you all are doing.

    I just started running again this past Tuesday, for the first time in two years. I ran two miles, and kept a decent pace even though I felt a little raggedy towards the end.

    Any advice at all will be appreciated; I'll also probably benefit from reading what others post here.

    Hi I'm heather and I live in Nashville tn. I just started running a few months ago and signed up for the 5k zombie buffet coming up! I'd love to have more friends that are runners and can help motivate me for my first half marathon next year and I can help motivate also :)

    Hi I am Trisha and I live in Middle Tennessee on the Cumberland Plateau! I love Tennessee. I am origionally from NJ, then Pa., then Florida and haved lived here for 7 years. I am married to a wonderful husband and have 3 boys. I am kind of new to running. A few years ago I ran/walked 3 5ks and then just stopped running and have done other forms of exercise. Now I have started up again and just recently met a personal goal of mine to run 5 miles!! Yay. I have never loved running but I am determined to be a runner. Glad to be in this group!!

    I live in the Great Smoky Mountains and just started running to help with some anxiety and stay healthy. I'm really new to running so I'm happy to find a place with Tennessee people. I'm thinking about looking into a marathon to have a goal to work for to keep me motivated since that is probably my biggest hurdle. Anyone have any advice?
