Introduction

Was never into running until a couple of years ago, but have been on and off of it due to a bunch of volleyball injuries. Love participating in 5k races!

How did you find, learn and/or hear about this running group?

No answer yet

Where is your favorite place to run and how far?

Downtown DC or in Arlington.

How long have you been running?

I was doing 3-5 miles a few times a week, but need to get back into the swing of things. Biking to/from work tends to take most of my time, so it's hard to schedule running around that.

What sort of running pace is most comfortable for you?

I'm VERY slow... Usually do a 11 or 12min/mile which seems to be way slower than everyone else in this group (and in the world!) :( If you're a slow runner too, shoot me an email if you'd like to partner up and go jogging together

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?
