Running in General. Anything Welcome, Vintage or Modern

[DavidJ]

I hope this would be the right place for this. I looked and found a thread for only vintage shoes.
I would just like to connect with my fellow runners here on the lounge. I run cross country at my high school, and love it. I run 5ks, but really want to do the OKC Memorial Marathon.
Anybody else a runner?

I don't run, but I do jog. No marathons as I like to keep my knees still working, but do enjoy a jog now and then...

I used to run (or jog really) but after last pregnancy developed planters fasciitis and am afraid not it would make it worse? Any thought?

I think a friend of mine had that same thing. I'll see what she did for it. Glad there are people who run, or ran.

I like to run at least 3 times a week.

Keep it up!!

Over the past 10 years I've done some 5K's, half-marathons in Indianapolis (loved it) and Cincinnati (hated it)! The difference - I live in flatland Indiana and I had to run hills in Cincinnati. That, and a driving rainstorm - the weather forecast the night before called for "small tornadoes." Not a fun day.

With teenage kids at home in numerous activities it's sometimes tough to find the time to run, but I like doing 6 miles when I have the chance. I hated running when I was in school so am impressed that you've got it going on now. Good luck and keep up the great work!!

I love running, but unfortunately am hyperflexible and have associated biomechanical problems. I can train for and run up to a half-marathon distance, but have to be quite conservative in my training. Anything above that distance and I start to develop knee issues.
