Mississippi chick...still looking for running partner

I've posted once or twice looking for a partner...(running partner of course!) I live in Jackson and would love the motivation a partner would bring for the long runs. Like I said before ...80 % of the people in my gym (which would seem like the logical place to scout) are mainly muscleheads that walk around with weights while talking on a cell phone. I want to a running partner that's serious (and not just when they thing people are watching). If any of you belong to a gym I'm sure you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

Re: Mississippi chick...still looking for running partner
Hey LindsayB, I am in Madison, MS and run the Highland Colony Parkway area. I see lots of bike groups along my route but not many running groups. What is your idea of a Long Run? The most I do for a long run on a weekend is 7-9miles. I plan to run the 15K at Lake Caroline in November.

I'm in Hattiesburg so not exactly an easy running partner for you, but I would suggest trying the local running club, the Mississippi Track Club. They are an active group and there are runners of all levels in that club.

Good luck!

Re: Mississippi chick...still looking for running partner
Hi WABAU83...you'll have to forgive me. I haven't checked to board in a while...I work Insurance claims full time and go to school full time...work is extremely busy right now with the hurricanes and all!

My idea of a long run right now is more like 5 or 6 miles. I broke my toe and sprained my ankle about a month ago and am having to build up my endurance again. Before that I was doing 5 miles daily and 7 miles was considered a long run. And about a year before that I competed in half marathons on a regular basis. Right now I am trying to find someone to run with once or twice a week that is serious about running and will motivate me to do what I know I am capable of. Hope that doesn't sound too cheesy I don't want to slow you down or mess up your training schedule but I would like to run with someone occasionally that will really push me.
Thank you for your reply! Let me know what you think,
Lindsay B.
