Hey all!
I'm Miguel from Tomball, Texas. I'm doing my first half marathon in March 2013 and I'm looking for running friends. Doesn't matter if you're already a runner, want to start running, or just run on occasion. Just as long as we share the common interest of "running."
I'm blogging about my training experience (using Hal Higdon's Half Marathon Novice 1 Program) here: http://www.miguelrunner.com
Thanks and I hope to gain a few friends! Stay safe!

Hey!

Just sent you a request. Happy running :-)0

Feel free to add me, too. I just started running in November. I plan to do a 10K in September, and possibly a half next May.0

I just set myself a goal for my longest distance ever.. a 12k in November.
I've only done 5ks so far. It's exciting and a little intimidating too!
good luck with your training!0 -
hi! I am new to running, i have toyed with it a bit over the last few months and have actually just worked myself up to running a 5k.
Feel free to request me!0 -
I just started running about 2 months ago and I'm officially addicted, already signed up for two 5k's and considering a 15k in the fall. Add me!0

Thanks everyone! I think I added everyone above! Too cool to see all these runners here! Doesn't matter to me if you're a 1k, 5k, 10k, half or full marathoner. Let's all support e/o, especially on "those" days when all we want to do is sit on the couch. Oh wait, did I just say that out loud? LOL
Thanks again everyone!

I literally just started a running program Wednesday. Havent ran regularly since college, but I want to get at it again.0

I started C25k in APril, and had a lot of obstacles- got VERY sick and was down for a few weeks, then a death in the family had us out of town for over a week, and HORRIBLE shin splints which put me down for nearly 2 weeks.
I've been having trouble getting my breath, and after FINALLY getting into week 2 (I kept repeating week 1 because of all the down time), the Dr tells me today that I am pushing myself too hard and that I should start over at W1D1. Dang it!
I've been thinking about it, and Im going to follow her advice, because i don't want to blow out my knees, or drop dead of not being bale to breathe :laugh: So, next week, I'll start over with week 1, day 1.
I did walk/jog a 5k on July 4th! :happy:
But, I'll gladly be a running buddy :bigsmile:0 -
@Aimee: take your doctor's advice for sure! Also, there's absolutely no hurry for any of us, right? Why kill ourselves trying to become fit? Kinda defeats the purpose!
My half training is a 12 week program but I'm 7+ months out. I'm taking my time, enjoying the runs and not worrying whether I'll be able to finish the half. The main thing is to just keep going, something you're obviously doing! Good job!0 -
I fall under runner status I'm training now for my first half marathon that takes place September! I've been running since January of this year and I LOVE it!!0

I am not a runner, but I have the strong desire to be one and will be starting a running program. I want to feel the endorphin rush that all runners talk about. I want to have a better stress reliever and comfort other than food, and I am hoping I will find it in running. Going to start out slow, but here I go!0

Hi,
I just started running. I just finished week 1 of the C25K program. I am a mom to an almost 3 year old and a 6 week old. Both girls so finding time to workout and run is a challenge. I've been waking up earlier than the kids to get my runs in. I also do DVD's for strength training. Nice to meet everyone. My goal is to run a 5k in October.0 -
