New to the Cafe. I am an accidental runner, started running when the cardio studio closed for a few weeks. I say I am from the Foresst Gump school of running, I started to run and then I run some more...

I have run 3 generations with my son and two grandsons, done a few 10 and halfs with my oldest grandson. Did a 5km with Gramie Leanna, her first 5 km and followed up immidiately with the 10km with my oldest grandson.

I became a Chi Runner and then a certified Chi Running and Chi Walking instructor.

Running was not part of a plan, just thought I would run around the parking lot for a few weeks and it got away.

Good luck as team leader, and with your half.

Hello MTNKAT, I would run more if I had time too! I have had trouble getting the time to run at all this week but I just managed to squeeze a 30 min run in.

I'll be posting a new Runners Cafe challenge soon, hopefully to get it going in the new year, hope to see you join the challenge :-)

Hi Kelly!

Right now I am just trying to maintain my running fitness. I am currently in the throes of doing 30 day shred so only weekend running for me and the occasional run to work instead of walk.

I love to run but there's only so much I can do in one day lol. Winter running is new to me...I've only been running for about a year.

Good luck!

Hi Kelly, hello everyone!

Welcome to the Runner's Café! However, I am even newer than you here! Just signed up for this team the other day, and felt very welcome here. It's a great place to hang out and just relax after a good run. I used to run a lot, gained weight, and here I am starting all over again. The Couch to 5K program left me with a very sore foot and now I need to think of starting even more gradual than that. However, I am on my way, having polished off my goals and courage in the process. :)

Hello,

I am the new Team Leader for Runner's Cafe. I would like to keep this forum active and interesting.

I am running a half marathon soon and always looking for new running challenges. I would like to hear about other peoples running goals and what you would like to see from this team.

Feel free to introduce yourself here or start your own thread,

Kelly
