Hi! I'm training for a 5k in June and then after that for a half in September. I'm hoping to find more running friends on MFP. I'm also looking to incorporate weight training, so I'm inspired by those kinds of workouts also! I want to find people who are interested in being mutual encouragement and support. Please add me as a friend if you think we could spur one another on to running bliss!

That's exciting! Have you been running long? I'm a bit nervous about the half, but I really really want to make it happen!0 -
I'll add both of you I'm training for my first half in November
I started running back in Oct with C25K and completed my first 5K in December. I did a 10K 2 weeks ago, and I have a 5K tomorrow 0 -
Enchantedeska - You have a very busy running year ahead of you. That's awesome! I can't wait to hear about all of your races.0

I'll add you guys.
I'm also working on a half marathon training program for a half in September. I will be doing lots of other races this summer too.
I am also doing Chalean Extreme for strength training, but running is my priority so sometimes I miss CLX so that I'm not sore on certain runs.0 -
You are looking in the right place! I just did a 10K this morning, am doing a half marathon in June, a 10 miler in October, and a few sprint tris this summer. Any of you are free to add me!0

I am running a Virtual 5K in July (its a Facebook group - so we are all running timed in July), a real 5k in August, a 10K in October, and a Half in November (my first one). I will also be training for my first sprint tri in March. :-)
I am also doing some WO DVDs along the way.
This is keeping me busy and out of trouble, LOL.0 -
You guys have so many runs lined up!!! It sounds really exciting!!
what are sprint tris?
Any of you feel free to add me 0 -
I've only got three events scheduled this year - a 5k, Relay for Life, and my half marathon. Next year I'd like to do the Spartan Sprint. I will probably do some 5ks and 10ks next year to focus on building speed and improving PRs. But my budget for race fees is limited (hubby's a full-time student right now), so I probably won't enter a ton at this point. It's fun seeing what everyone else is doing though!0

I’ve been running for the past year and a half. I’ll be running my 6th half marathon next weekend. I’ve also ran several 5k’s and one full marathon (mostly walked) since last summer. Running has helped lose 90lbs since July 2010.
Feel free to add me!

I started running again about a year ago after a 9 year hiatus. I am officially addicted to running again. I also do P90X--just finished my first round and I'm going to start a 2nd round next week.
Anyone else can feel free to add me too!0 -
I've heard P90X is an amazing workout. I might try it someday!0

I really think P90X is what helped to improve my speed. eta: I didn't lose any weight while doing it (and that really frustrated me) so I'm going to be more careful when I start my second round. But my running times were greatly improved.0 -
Hi everyone! Great group! I'm doing my second half marathon in Oct, I would like to get my time down to under 2hrs. I'm currently getting my fitness levels back by doing strength training 2 - 3 times a week and running with a running club 2 times a week, loving it so far, then 3 months before the half marathon I will following a training programme. Adding you all now

That makes sense. I can see how increased strength would help a runner to run more efficiently, thereby improving speed. I'm working to add in strength training. I admit that this is the thing I don't look forward to. I've been doing Pilates and I'm wanting to do this Iron Strength workout that I found online that was written by a sports medicine physician who's also a triathlete. I made it through over half the workout (nowhere near the number of reps he recommends). It's all plyometric stuff....whew!0
