Rookie run times don't work for everybody, so we're offering a new service here for people who want to run or walk at other times. Let's call it "Jogging Janes."
Here's the drill: Respond to this message by clicking on "comments." Leave your location (Forest Lakes South, Ruckersville, Lake Monticello, etc.), your running/walking speed, what times are good for you to meet, and a way to contact you. I will make this post a permanent link on the site, under the 4-Miler Women's site, UVa breast care center, etc. so you can continue to find it easily a few weeks down the road.
We're happy to provide this service, but please understand that neither the 4-miler training program nor the Charlottesville Track Club covers outside runs like this with our insurance. It's up to you to use good judgment with weather, location, etc. All those concerns aside, though, good luck and pass the word.
Meeting up with running buddies now is an excellent way to continue your running even after the training program ends. That positive kind of "peer pressure" keeps a lot of us on the road.

Looking for a city of Charlottesville Jogging Jane. I live in Greenbrier and work in the downtown/UVa area. Looking for a buddy who runs a 9-10 minute mile. I prefer to run in the morning but could do some later evening runs (after 6:45). Can meet and run in a neighborhood other than Greenbrier.
