Running in West End
Hey- is there anyone who might want to meet to run in the West End / Glen Allen area? I'm not too fast (about 10min/mi) but would love some company!

Hey!
I try to do 3-4 mi weekdays and longer runs on the weekend. I just joined a training program for the Richmond marathon so will be increasing mileage over the summer. I run a women's bootcamp M-W-F a.m so would like to do evening runs on those days and maybe a.m. runs on Tues-Th. Weekends are open. If you happen to be in town and would like to meet up let me know!
I am near Deep Run off of Nuckols but work near Tucker

There is a group that runs from the Tuckahoe YMCA that you pace would be perfect for. If you do a search on the msg board using the word "Tuckahoe" you will find the discussion. Below is a copy pace from the post:

Mary, several of us meet at the Tuckahoe YMCA most Wednesday mornings at 5:10 for a 5:15 start. Pace is usually abt 9-10. distance is 4-8 typically. the routes have easy out and back components so if we're going farther than you want we can turn you back at appropriate points. there's a core of 4 folks in this group. among the 4, you can probably find other mornings for company as well. email me if you are interested.

I might be able to run with you on Tuesday mornings. I belong to the Y, so I could meet you at the Shady Grove Y on Tuesday mornings.

Hey Nicole... I'm a member at the Shady Grove YMCA too... as is Suzanne Thompson. We often run there early in the mornings on Tuesday and Thursday on the Treadmills... but I could be convinced to run outside, now that its warmer! Wednesdays we do the Einstein Bagels group on Pump Rd.

You mentioned you signed up for the Marathon training team. Once the training team runs start many of the runners get together to do their weekday runs, especially the Wednesday mid-week long run. You will find the those unofficial groups on the training team msg board a few weeks into the training. Best of luck and have fun on the training team. It is a wonderful experience. You will love it.

Hi there Nicole! After the 2008 Sportsbackers Marathon Training Team started up last June, a group got together on the www.marathontrainingteam.com message board, and meets every Wednesday morning at Einstein Bagels at Short Pump on Pump Rd, across the parking lot SNAP Fitness... We get together at 5am, start running at 5:05... we keep the time standard so whatever the miles, people know when to show up... although if you come, we always "Reply All" in our emails as to # of miles, route (usatf.org) and so on... You're welcome to join, of course! I'm Craig, the other regulars are Mark Stallings, Suzanne Thompson, Belinda Brown, Rajiv Perrera, Julie Dyke (summer) and others... My email is ctwg0369@yahoo.com... check us out! :)

Hey there! Sorry I didn't check the message board again after I left that reply. On Tuesdays, I would run 3 or 4 miles. Let me know if you'd like to try to run some time. Thanks!

No problem:) That sounds good to me. Do you want to try to meet this Tues? It would have to be early- probably around 5:30. May be able to start at 6 but have to check my surgery schedule on Monday.

Hi Nicole,
I see you have had quite a few responses. I was just wondering how many groups are there in the West End to run with? It sounds like there are some starting at Shady Grove YMCA and another starting at Einsteins. Can you give me some info as I would like to join some of these groups to help encourage me to train. Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

I live in Glen Allen (Laurel Park) and I am always looking for running parnters. I am trying to get a group of people to meet at Brookland Middle School. Are you interested?
