love your body 5k

I was thinking of doing the womens only "love your body" 5k run and I was wondering if any of the beginning runners wanted to train with me. I miss all the fun of a goal and helping people get to it. 5k is 3.1 miles and the race is Aug 22 so we have time but we'll need to start now. Please message me if you want to train. The cost is $20 (for the race registration, not my training. I come free) I was hoping to get a nice big SimplySister's group. I think it would be fun. So far I think Lorie said she wants to do it. Caralee and Amber could but I don't know if they want to. So let me know. If we don't get at least a few I think I might give up on beginning runners group and that would be sad.

Hey Mandie - That sounds like fun. Matt and I have been running 3-4 times a week, m, w, f, and/or sat. We are doing the 'couch to 5k' plan. It's been good for me because it starts off very easy, and works it's way up. I've been waiting to be able to run 20 - 30 minutes straight before joining the 'running group' because it seemed like every time I went, I was the only real 'beginner'. I'm almost there, but if other real 'beginners' will be running, I could join in on t and th nights, and some sat mornings as well. It would be good to have a goal and fun to run a race with other sisters. Michelle Stephens and Aly Hyland, have finished the 'couch to 5k' plan, and were hoping to run the July 4th 5k but were out of town, maybe they would like to join (?)

Mary, I am a real beginner, if you didn't notice when you were at the pool thurs and we were passing you by. I would love another beginner because I feel like I am bringing the fast girls down. But they aren't running tues nights anymore just thurs. They run Tues at 6am, but I have not made that yet.

so Mary runs still and Lori comes sometimes and no one else interested I think we'll stick with only doing Thursday night. So my running schedule is this: Mon, Tues, 6am. Thurs 8:30pm. Sat 7am. I really don't mind a short or slow run, or a short AND slow run so anyone is welcome to join me any of these days but I'll just be looking out for Caralee, Amber, Mary and LORI unless anyone else calls me.

Mandi, I was planning on starting tonight but it sounds like the beginners group will just meet on Thursday nights. Am I understanding correctly? I think I've got Mary and Lori beat when it comes to slowness...
