Hey all! I'd love to make connections with some fellow runners! I've been running regularly since Jan12, and now run 3-4x week for 2-3 miles a run. I am really getting into it & would love to be friends:)

    I am just starting to get back into it too. Did a few runs many moons ago and would love to take part in a few again. I once did a half marathon (very slowly) but I would be happy to be able to do a 10k comfortably now (I found finding time to train for the half marathon difficult at the time and I didn't have kids so I doubt that I be able to find the time now).

    I started back in January with the C25K but am redoing it again now (a more advanced version of it) to see if I can improve before moving onto 8k.

    Feel free to add me!

    I'm a beginner at everything here, as I just joined this site...I have a goal to loose 30lbs and I want to incorporate running into my life! I just started back at running on Feb 20th, only 3 weeks ago. I am running 2.5 miles at lunch twice a week and would love to increase that without dying LOL

    Add me if you want someone to chat too :)

    I just sent you a friend request. I also run, but I do other workouts, too. I usually run on the weekends.

    You can add me too :) I finally got past the shin splints phase and now I really enjoy running, and my endurance has increased significantly. I plan on doing a 10k at the end of April

    I still consider myself a beginning runner. I've been running for about a year and while I've done several events (5k's and a half marathon) I'm super slow.

    Feel free to add me. I've been running for five years and recovering from a broken foot from a 1/2 marathon I did last weekend. I'm sidelined for 6 weeks, but can't wait ti get back on the trail ASAP.
