I Run 4 (IR4)

[clseale]

Have you guys seen this? One of my friends has been doing it for awhile, and another one just signed up. The one who is already doing it met her little girl and her family at a race in Atlanta. The pics were awesome. So sweet. I think I'm going to sign up to be matched.

That is a really neat idea!

Is it just for runners or other race disciplines too? (Like tris)

I'm not sure, but thinking of the spirit of their mission, I would think they'd welcome a variety of athletes! I'd send them a note and let them know you are a triathlete wanting to participate.

There were some triathlete's in the video.

Oh, good! I'm at work and did not watch the video. Obviously. lol

I'm signed up, and have been matched for a few months. People run, but also post about doing cf and all other kinds of exercise.

My experience has been a little weird, because the mom of the little girl I run for basically had no idea what the group was about when she joined.

I watched the video at work, evidently there are onion cutting ninja's here today.

omg, I'm tearing up right now. So often when I'm having a crappy run I find myself focusing on the fact that I just CAN run, so shut up and get moving!
Something like this would be so wonderful- I think I'm going to sign up!

Thanks for posting this. My sister joined a couple weeks ago. I just signed up to be matched. I am thinking it will keep me motivated to run when I really don't want to.

I love this. I think I may sign up too!

[hurricanedrunk]

I also just signed up. What an awesome idea.

This is so awesome - I would love to do this!

Now, do I have to post pics to my own Facebook, or can I just post it to the group page? I'm weird about posting my race/training stuff to my wall - I always feel like I'm annoying people for some reason.

ETA: Ok - nevermind, I see you can post directly to the page.

I had the same hesitation, kams. I didn't want to post running stuff 3 times a week to my FB wall. Luckily it sounds (like you figured out), that you can just post it to the group page.
