Introduction

I created the group back in 2008, but as of mid-April 2011, my husband's job has sent us out of the country (we're currently in Manila, Philippines for 2 years). Until we get back, the other great organizers will be in charge! (I miss you guys!)

Your age?

Where would you prefer to run?

Arlington area, or downtown DC at lunch time or early morning. C&O Canal is my favorite trail for the long marathon training runs -- easy on the joints and absolutely beautiful once you get further from DC!

How long have you been running?

Consistently since 2008! The group kept me consistent! Since then, I've run two marathons and 5 half-marathons. I miss running with the group -- some of my favorite people in DC!

What's your pace (it's ok if you don't know it yet... )

Back when I was marathon training, shorter runs would average about a 10 min/mile, longer ones at a 11:30 min/mile. Now I'm (even more super) slow... Running in Manila has not been easy, there's no group like I Run, You Run here, sadly :(

Hi Carla!

I am really excited to get started again! That's interesting that you went 8 years without touching a ball, I went for 6 years without touching my clarinet (I'm a professional musician) and no, I am NOT concerned about injuring my fingers!! lol

Hey Carla, my name is Taylor and I'm looking for teams for our fall volleyball league. Do you have anyone looking for a Competitive Coed 6's indoor team? We play Tues, Wed, and Thursday nights. If you would like to enter a team or have individuals that are looking for a team, we can help. Let me know if you or others are interested.

Oh no! I'm sorry your fiance is out, too! All this training for nothing... I wouldn't wish it upon anyone, but at least I am not alone! Thanks for the offer about getting my shirt-- I'm going to try and go to Chicago and I'm hoping I'll be off crutches by the weekend, so hopefully I can make it to the Expo, too. I have some friends going out for the weekend so instead of running, I'll be catching up with old friends, I guess. I am going to try and cheer a little, too! Good luck!!!

Sorry! I know I sent you a few messages earlier this summer, but then I was having hip problems so I was running on my own in case I needed to stop... turns out I found out last week that my hip is broken, so I'm out of the Chicago marathon and other races/training probably until Spring! Good luck and I hope I can join you guys when I'm recovered!

Perfect! That's the schedule I'm using as well. I haven't been running down by Theordore Rossevelt Island- is it tricky to get to from Arlington? I'm doing the Gulf 5K tomorrow night so that's why I'm hesitant about making an early Sat AM run, but I will try!

Hey! Thanks for your message. Your Saturday runs look fantastic. I'm not sure if I can make this Saturday's AM run, but I will definitely try to make some in the future. Do you have a lot of people doing them with you? Which training program are you using?
