in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone :smokin:

I'm 5'3 CW 186 GW 145.

I'm kick starting my jogging start June 1st !
Did C25K and completed a 5K run in 40 minutes. I stopped jogging due to a busy scheduled and many other EXCUSES :P Because I know that's what they are. To start, tI plan to Jog at least 3 times a week and do zumba on non jogging days :)


Need Jogging friends for support and inspiration :)

    Hello! I also like to run! Just signed up for my first half marathon for October and would love it if we could motivate each other to reach our goals! Running 3x a week is a great plan, but I hafta warn you, it kinda becomes addicting lol. Friend request is on it's way!

    I've been running for a couple years now. Right now my miles are really low due to a strained IT band. :-( I would love to add any other runners as friends! Feel free to add. :)

    i love running! i can run a 5k in like thirty five mins! three miles used to be the farthest i would run, but i did self drop 10 high intensity interval cardio workouts for five weeks, and they REALLY helped my endurance! you do three a week, but I also add in a few workouts of my own so that i run about 5/6 times a week. on week 5 i ran six miles without stopping! The link for the workouts is here: http://www.self.com/drop10#slide=1 they have two sets of five weeks of hiit cardio workouts! you have to sign up but they are great!

    Hello,
    I am a runner too! My husband and I began a weight loss journey last August with MFP and he lost 42 lbs and I lost 12. Once I reached my goal I stopped working out. VERY bad move. Now I have put on almost 7 of those pounds back on and I want to take them off again. i plan on doing that by running again. I plan on picking a race and register for it and start myself in a training program. I need motivation so maybe we can help each other. I plan on going for a run tomorrow morning. I hope I can get this extra weight off in time to enjoy the second half of summer and get myself a new swimsuit!
    Wish me luck!!

    I love running, but I only just started a month ago. I can only do a mile at a time and I can do it in 13 minutes. An improvement from before, but I'm still working on doing it in less!

    I'm a jogging newbie :)

    Doing C25K, completed Week 6 Day 2 today - did a double session so I jogged for a total of 40 minutes (longest every in my entire life) - broken down into 4 10 minute jogs.

    Some day I will say that I am training for a half marathon!

    Hi everyone! I'm new to the site and new to running. I started running/jogging last December and have completed a few races: 8k, 5k, 10k, and just recently my first half marathon last weekend. I'm proud to say I jogged the entire time, without any walking breaks! :)

    I've lost 20lbs since December and am looking only to lose about 5 more. Please feel free to contact me for any questions. It's addicting, just like this site is!

    Hey there - I decided after doing a 5K that I would like to try a half marathon - so I am training for that - jogging/running about 4 times per week. Friend me if you'd like. I'm not new to running, but getting back into it. I'm not a fast runner - going more for the endurance than anything else.

    Started running again January of this year. Had an accident a few years back and it left me with a limp that made running uncomfortable. I love to cycle and that really helped me in so many ways. I'm turning 50 this November and I'm giving myself my 1st 1/2 marathon in September. I run 3 times a week and continually improve my mileage. Feel free to add me. Good Luck!

    i just finished c25k a couple of weeks ago from never being a runner to finishing my first 10k on sunday..running was meant to be an alternate work out to bike riding and boxing, but now, running is all I do. I'd be happy to be your running friend!

    I love running too. I have a knee that likes to act up so I battle that all the time. I just started Ease into 10K a few weeks ago to try and push my mileage and I recently added hills!
