Hiya! I'm looking for a buddy in the Portland, OR metro area. I'm wanting to start doing my couch to 5k running plan, but I'm just not into doing it alone. And it's always nice to have someone to talk to that's been through the same thing. Send me a message if you are interested.

I'm just south if Portland in Canby. Could always use a pal. Did the dirty girl mud run in June and plan to do the kiss me dirty 5k mud run on Sept 21 at the race way if your interested.

Omg! I live in Donald just up the road from you! Have you had surgery yet? I had my surgery May 17 and I'm doing super good. Lost total if 55 lbs so far. That's pre op and post op.

I'm going to do the 2013 Color Run inSeptember with a bunch of gals from the support group at Kaiser. My first one ever!! They had to talk me into doing it. Stepping out if my fat box!! Yeah!! Excited about it now.

What a small world I work in Donald, and I also had surgery at Kaiser on March 22. Sounds like you've had great progress. I've lost 65lbs so far. When is the color run?

Wow it is a small world!! Who was your surgeon? I had Dr Ludemann on May 17. Where do you work there's not much here!! Lol

The Color Run is September 7. It sounds like a lot if fun. I guess the crowd throws paint packets at you!!

I live in tualatin and had surgery on may 24th. Would love to meet up with ou guys!

That would be great! What works best for you! I generally work till 4pm and could do something in the evening or most weekends. Maybe meet up at a park or track for a little walking and talking!

I'd love that!! I go to water aerobics on Monday and Wednesday's at 24 hour fitness. So Tuesday and Thursdays I the eve are good for me and Sat and Sunday mornings are good. I usually walk a couple miles ea weekend morning. Let me know if and when!!
