Helpful running people ... It's just me again!!
Hello lovelies, so bit of background. Completed 5 k and now onto 8 k training.

Random question...
How do you add someone as a friend on MFP. I use an I pad and have found when I click on their avatar it just takes me to the app page ! On my phone I think I managed to add someone by clicking on them because they typed on my status. But how do you do it generally... I'm not too techy huh!

10k question
I'm training for a 10 k in March. My question is... Can I wear headphones and listen to music as I run it? I feel like I will come to a standstill if I don't have music to pump me along.
