I am currently training for a 1/2 marathon that's at the end of April and I love having other friends on MFP that are runners and lift weights. It motivates me so much!! Thanks

    Holla! I've run 6 half marathons, hoping to do another one in a month or so. Got the running thing down, need to do more weights so maybe you can motivate me! Feel free to friend request! And good luck and happy running!

    i never thought i'd type this, but i guess it's true... i'm a runner too! i'm still not sure about running a half marathon, but i have run 62 miles so far this month, so i suppose it wouldn't be too difficult to make the jump if i got the notion. sent you a request!

    any other runners and supportive friends, feel free to friend me as well!

    hi! before i started mfp i had never heard of c25k.... when i kept hearing great things about it, i gave it a try. basically it's a training program that helps you work your way up from running little to none to a 5k. google c25k and you'll find all kinds of helpful info to get started! it worked wonders for me! (and i've never liked running... ever...)

    I'm a beginner runner! I used to run cross country in high school, but now I just run for fun. I'm up to about 3-5 miles a run and hope to get up to 7-8 by the end of summer! Friend me if you'd like, I'm always looking for inspiration from others!
