    Aha! Love to see fellow runners on here. It's so much freedom! I'm trying to work my way up to running a lot but it's hard after almost 3 years of not doing anything! haha

    I started running in January myself! I have so far ran two 5km races and I am about to work on my 3rd. I am not sure if I am quite prepared to take on the challenge of 10kms yet, but definitely plan to do it in December.

    Add me if you want some running support. I need some too! :):)

    I am working my way to a regular 5k. I just finished the Dirty Girl Mud Run 5K. It was so much fun. I also love running. The funny thing is I use to hate running. Feel free to add me if you need supportive running friends.

    I was training for a marathon until I got a severe case of cellulitis on my leg, but after a month and a half of being laid up, I'm back to running at least a 5k.

    Feel free to add me. :)

    I run about 45km/week. I have a half marathon scheduled for August; I'm thinking of running a Super Spartan in September and I'm going to race my first ever 5k in October.

    yea. running is awesome. Its my work out of choice. i run all the time. typically i run about 3-5 miles 5 days per week. i love running. it gives me such a high, and it helps me run off my aggressions.

    feel free to add me if you want. :)

    I'm also working up to running. i currently walk\jog 3.6 miles, 4 - 5 days a week. about a third of this is uphill. I am really enjoying being outdoors and my husky is a great running partner (formerly a sled dog). add me if you like. i'm doing my first 5k on Aug. 26th. Not sure i can run the whole way yet, but i've only been at this continuously for a few weeks. trying to learn to breathe properly :)

    I am a beginner, and just ran my first half last May. Now, I am thinking about training for a late September half.

    Cheers on starting - it gets a bit addicting!

    In the process of doing the C25K program. Plan on running a 5K at the end of August. Please add me- any of you! I could use the support and help from people who run!!

    I started C25K a few months ago, but I stopped due to health issues. Those issues are now resolved, and I have been wanting to start again! :D I really enjoy running!

    I started running about 6 weeks ago. Just ran 3 miles straight for the first time today! Have a 5K coming up in about 2 weeks. After that....who knows?? Want to do a few more 5Ks and 10Ks. A friend of mine is trying to talk me into a 15K in November! EEK!

    Feel free to add me. I have been running pretty consistently for about 15 years. Mostly I run to keep healthy and to keep my sanity, but I have completed quite a few good races of various distance over the years. My lifetime goal is to run a full marathon, but I have yet to decide that I am ready to make that commitment. Currently I try to run three days/ week, anywhere from 3-8 miles.

    I would still consider myself a pretty beginner runner. It has grown on me since March when I really started training. I did my First 5km May 5th, 2012! It was a pretty cool accomplishment. I have another one I'm participating in come Sept/Oct.

    Keep it up!! :)

    I can't claim anything very close to "running" just yet. I can possibly go as far as to claim "Speed Waddling", or "jog-waddle-gasp-n-walk". I'm just healing up from a rather stupid choice. I've worn arch supports for years, but I got some new shoes that tricked me into believing that they had enough support to run without the inserts. I didn't tear anything, but I did heavily strain both MCL's. So a month later I am just starting up again WITH a set of spanking new arch supports.

    Feel free to add me! Ive been running since January this year. It has definately helped with the weight loss, I run 5k regularly and completed a 10k last month. :happy:

    Nice one!! I started with c25k and honestly thought I was going to die. I was on inhalers etc and it really hurt to try to run BUT...... I stuck with it and have now done loads of 5ks, a handful of 10ks, a half marathon and am due to do a full marathon in October plus the Adidas thunder run in just 3 weeks time (eek!)..

    That c25k was last year. I'm never going to be a fast runner but, hey, at least I'm covering the distance. Stick with it - your body will hate you at first but end the end it will be eternally grateful you did it :-)

    Ps - if you can find a local Parkrun you won't regret it!

    I've just started myself. I live near a 400m track so I'm using that for my runs.

    Looking to do a half marathon next year and the odd few 10k runs.

    So any running friends on here would be an extra boost. Feel free to add!
