    I might be down with this, Cheez. I am a distance runner and find it undesirable to go after work. You also live very close to me. I am on Classon and Park Pl

    sounds great! i used to run more and am trying to get back into it so i figure as long as we get each other going then you can run ahead of me if ya like. i'm thinking 1/2 hour 45 minutes in the morning. i can start next week if you're in. thursdays are the only days i can't go.

    Cool.


    How long ago were you a runner? 30-45 mins works for me.
    I just need to be back by 7:20 to get ready to leave for work and running with a buddy makes me feel safer than going alone when it's quiet out.

    eh. er. i wouldn't call myself a runner...i ran a 5k in july and i used to row and swim so i've always been pretty active. i moved here about two months ago and honeslty i have lost a lot of my endurance since i haven't been working out! so you really will be running ahead of me! still interested? :)

    i need to be back by 7. i'm new to this forum thing so how do i give you my personal info? or do you wanna just arrange it through here?

    hey, I don't know the last time I've been up at 6am and I can't run very far without having to stop and catch my breath... but DESPITE these things (or maybe in spite of), getting up early + running are two things I do want to start doing (in addition to others) somewhere down the line... : ) (I want to finally get some sort of routine, this year). so keep me in mind if you guys do start jogging on a regular basis, I'd love to try to join you in a few weeks!

    Amazingly, I might be up for that. Would you be interested in an early morning walk? I'm 27 weeks pregnant and just don't think running is going to happen for me. I like the idea of the AM discipline. I'm not sure I could really keep it up though. We could try meeting one AM this week.

    I suck - I'm out of town til next Tuesday, actually. BUT - I will post then and maybe we can meet up or get a group together then? of course, if others are interested, please start before me - I'm one of those idiots with good ideas and lousy follow-through.
    but I AM very interested when I get back. so ... maybe at 28 weeks?

    I love walking and walking with you guys would be fun. But I'd guess you get up way too godawful early for me. Like for me, 8:30 feels pretty early. But let me know.

    hmmm. yeah. no. in the AM, I need to be on the 2/3/B at 9 a.m. so that means I gotta be showering around 8ish.

    which is why I question my own ability to show up early.

    I'm clearly delusional about my own ability to get up early. Once I had a friend who was really motivated and made me get up at 6am to run. It was a great time in my life, except from 6-7 in the morning.

    I'm going to -- key word -- ATTEMPT to join you guys on wednesday morning. But if there are other people organizing a walk a little bit later, I'd be interested in that too (like everyone else i question my ability to a. get my ass up and b. run). But my roommate and i both want to start jogging so.. maybe I'll see you guys wednesday morning! : )

    i would love to join the walk...I'm new to the neighborhood and would jump at the chance to stroll the neighborhood for some exercise. working up to a run is in the near future, brisk walks sound great for now! im at st marks and classon..
