Running/Jogging/Work out partner(s)...

[jtkratzer]

Anybody interested in doing some jogging/running/trail running/etc? I used to run cross country in high school but the running slowly came to a stop towards the end of college and I'm looking to get back into running on a regular basis. Nothing marathon like. Nothing hair on fire speed. Just exercise.

Some interval training would be fun as well to mix things up.

I don't mind running with my wife, but she was never a distance runner and frequently wants to go slower than I do and I hate to leave her behind, but then I don't feel like I'm getting a workout.

I don't have a gym membership and refuse to pay $100/month for something I can do with free weights at home, my body weight, and running just about anywhere.

I'm comparing my options on what's available in doing military service with either the Marine Corps Reserves or the Pa ARMY National Guard. I'd like to get into better shape regardless of whether I go or not and I've always found it easier to keep consistent when you have a training partner to meet up with on a regular basis.

Let me know.

What's wrong? No one wants to go run in this heat?

Now it's not the heat that's the problem, it's the humidity. 4.3 miles this morning before church...I feel like I need gills right now.

I am near Denver, Ephrata area and need drastically to get back into shape. I used to be a long distance runner in high school and worked out hard until about a year ago I quit lol. Now I just lift here and there but really, really need to get at it. Let me know when you are free. Im prob only gonna be able to do like 8 minute miles if we do more then 2 for the first couple of weeks but ill give it a shot if you want.

Wow $100 a month? For that price they better work out FOR me.

I pay $10 a month at Planet Fitness. I think there is a PF in Lancaster.

I'll be back in town on Saturday. I'm in Norfolk, Va for the week. I'm just been working on doing pullups, situps, and running for the 3 mile run on the Marine Corps PFT.

Was back on Saturday morning and have been to Rowland Park each of the last two nights. I usually go Mon - Fri for pullups and what not if anyone wants to meet there in the evening.
