Run Run Away

Question:

I just moved to the Northern Virginia area form Iowa and don’t know anyone.  Is there a female out there who would like another female running partner?  I usually run 8-10 minute miles and try to run 3-4 times a week for a half hour each.  I would be glad to adjust my runs to fit your schedule.  I live in Falls Church in the Tysons Corner area.  Even getting together once a week or so would be great.

Welcome to the area. We have a diverse club of mostly really nice people in Reston. Visit the webpage at www.restonrunners.org or call our hotline at 703-437-FOOT 5 miles runs Saturdays 10 (and incrementaly longer runs for MCM) on Sundays (and walks on both days as well) plus several programs including a women’s program and an interval training program good luck -jim

You may want to check out Fleet Feet on Rt. 7 near Tysons. It is a great running store and I think they may have a group which does regular runs.
