Hi everyone I hope you all will take a monent to introduce yourselves. My name is Jen I started this group because there isn't any Connecticut group here on RA and I figure it was about time there was one! I would love to find local runners to meet up with, run a race or a running partner to keep me motivated and on track! I am currently running C25K and hopefully if training goes well I will be running a half shortly after the new year!

Hi, I'm sort of a CT runner. I grew up in Tolland and even though I've lived in Miami the past 4.5 years, I still come to CT to visit 4-5 times a year. I'm interested in meeting up with some other CT people at races or just for runs (hi again sara ) when I'm in town, so I thought I'd join the group. For some reason I feel like much more of a CT runner than a FL runner, even though I have never done a CT race (yet). Oh yeah, when I'm in CT now I generally split my time between Tolland and Burlington (where my DH's family lives) so I pretty much cover the northern half of the state.

Milford checking in - trying (!) to get back into running and back into shape, with the goal of a marathon someday soon.

Hi everyone. I'm from Waterbury and will be running in the NYC Marathon in November. I usually do my long runs on the Cheshire trail which is a nice flat and shaded place. I've been running for 2 years now and really enjoy the satisfaction I get from completing races and distances, not to mention the 20 pounds I've lost since I started.

Hi Shaunna! When are you coming to CT next?

Sadly not again until the end of December. We have 2 big field projects going on this fall (one in the Everglades and one in Chile) so I don't think I'll be able to make it home. But I'm planning to go for 2-3 weeks for Christmas so we should run again then! Hopefully I'll be running by then . The Chehsire trail sounds like a great place to run.

Mrs Hub, Here is the link to the Cheshire trail http://www.ct.gov/dot/LIB/dot/documents/dbikes/026.pdf It's the best place I've found to run.

Hi everyone! I am in Guilford. Anyone planning on running the New Haven Road Race? We've always been away that weekend so I think this year I am going to do it.

Hi Karl...Im planning to run the Hartford half again this year, fun race!
