Newbie, looking for friends who sweat!

posted 3 months ago | Report

Hi, I just started using daily mile to track my workouts. But I've got a really sad number of friends here - zero! I would love some support, and inspiration.

About me: In the next 8 weeks I'm running 2 10-mile races and 2 half-marathons {maybe}. I'm just getting back into it after a hip/SI joint injury so we'll see how things go. I love running but only do it a few days a week because I'm injury prone, so I also swim a little. I used to love spin classes, but it does a number on my hip/SI joint. I'm interested in tri's but kinda freaked out about road cycling so who knows if I'll ever bite that bullet. I'm not a fast runner, but was making some steady gains in that department pre-injury. Now I'm just happy to be lacing up shoes again and I know I will start improving my speed eventually.

I currently live in the SW VA area but moving to DC in a few months.

Would love to meet you and cheer you on!

  Welcome! I'm in the same boat friend-wise. Good luck on your races in the next few weeks! I'm running my very first 10-miler in a few weeks and have just taken up swimming to try to help my knee. I hope you love DC! FR sent

  Hi Katie! I just began using dailymile, as well. I am quite new to running -- I just started training for a marathon this past November -- but I'd love to share encouragement and motivation with you along your journey! Glad to hear your injuries have healed enough to get you back on your feet. :) I'm pretty incident prone, myself, so I know the feeling.

  Hi Katie! Welcome to DM! Glad to see you're getting back into running! I have just started getting into it myself and I too have a history of injuries (knee). Good luck in your races!

  P.S. I am so jealous that you are moving to DC. I love it there! if/when you get a chance, PLEASE check out Founding Farmers restaurant on Pennsylvania Ave- seriously it's the best place I've ever eaten. I still talk about it 2 years later haha!
