Indy Runners : Forum

48 yr.old female runner with body fat seeking other 40+ women runners with body fat!  Yes my pace is slow (10:15 - 10:30 min/mile), but I'm still an athlete and still a runner!  I'm new to the area and looking for other women with the philosophy that if you're running too fast to talk, you're running too fast, for social and training runs.  Don't be intimidated by those stick people who run 8 minute miles!  If it weren't for runners like me being 'slow,' they wouldn't be 'fast.'  Please respond if you (or someone you know) has what it takes to be a Slug Goddess! 

Remember, 'Speed Kills.'  That goes for running too!

Hi Karen!

What side of town do you live?  I'm in Castleton (northeast).

Karen and Kathleen,

How nice that I am not the only one!! My pace is 9-10 m/m and I run alone, but not because I want to!

I live near 65th&Pendelton Pike. I would love a partner for some runs. I generally run in the am and usually with my German Shepherd (so technically I'm not alone I guess, but he doesn't say much...)

Karen -

First - your email just make me chuckle!  I'm slower than you!  I'm a walker, but do like to run, but more at an 11:00 min/mile pace.  You are not alone!

The club has runs every Tues and Thurs and for all paces.  Feel free to join in anytime.  I'm with the walkers and lead that group.  We walk a distance decided on by the folks that show up.

Also, consider joining the Saturday training runs - more info on the web site.  My schedule doesn't leave me too many Saturday's free, but consider joining those folks too. 

Our mini training program starts in Jan so be looking for info soon.  We do have groups that fit our running speed!!

Hope to see you all soon!
