@Jared, we should definitely run together sometime. I’d love to get folks together in DC and go running on a regular basis.

@Brett, thanks for stopping by. Yeah I can definitely see running getting addictive. Yep, I do run with the iPhone. It’s not too bad. I need to get one of those arm strap things.

Justin, this is awesome! So glad to hear you’re enjoying running! But watch out — it can get addictive! (See Kat for exhibit A…lol)

Does that RunKeeper thing mean you have to run with your iPhone? Isn’t that annoying?

Congrats, Justin! If you ever want to hit a run together, let me know : ). I go pretty much every day (then again, you know that from SXSW)…

I re-discovered running a couple years ago. (But because of injuries, I didn’t run my first race until this year). I love sharing the struggle with others who understand. When I’m having a hard time completing a run, other runners will wave, smile or even yell out words of encouragement.

I also like to use MapMyRun.com. I can map trail a head of time and know for sure whether I’m getting in enough miles. I have also learned that video blogging helps. When talked about trouble with my foot falling asleep, people gave me great advice.

I can’t wait to run my first marathon this December. I’m sure you’ll be hooked too once you run your first 5k. You should try for the Cherry Blossom 10-miler in the Spring– it’s a beautiful race. Good luck! (And don’t forget to post pictures!)
