Hi my name is Eddie,

I am looking for a running buddy or running group near Aspley, Brisbane. I would prefer to run around 5 in the afternoon but I am able to run early morning to be flexible. I have not run in a couple of months but I am keen for a challenge and should be able to keep a steady pace however I would be just happy to run with anyone for a bit of motivation to keep fit.

Please respond if anyone interested, I am a friendly easy going guy just wanting to have a reason to run.

Hi Eddie,

Welcome to CR. You could do a lot worse than getting in touch with your local running group, the South Pine Striders. They are based just up the road from you at Eatons Hill. Here's a link to their website.

There is also the Bunyaville Trail runners, many of whom frequent here. They have a Wednesday night run and are very friendly.

good luck with it,

Andy

I run with these guys whenever I can (which isn't as often as I'd like). Great bunch of people!

Also, if you are interested in runs that are set in a competitive environment, check out http://www.queenslandrunning.com.au/. There runs begin in early March on Saturday afternoons, with local runs around the Brisbane area and some closeby to Aspley.

these runs are great. a few CR & Bunya Runnas do them too. A small fee & race as many times as you like from 500mtr to 8k.

MG4R are you a Aspley Athletics runner?

cheers

I Eddie,

I was wondering if you ended up finding a running group. I've been looking, but can't seem to find any quite close enough - I live near the Hypermarket. I'm looking for some motivation as well, whether from a group or just a buddy. I think it would be lovely to have someone to run with for a change and I prefer to run in the afternoon as well.

Thanks.
