Fleet Feet Elmhurst's Running Buddy Match Program

As winter begins to settle in, you might be finding it more difficult to stay motivated and continue running on a regular basis. Sometimes the best motivation is having a buddy that can hold you accountable and vice-versa on days one of you feels like staying inside by the fire. If you don't currently have a running buddy, Fleet Feet Elmhurst would like to help you find someone in your area that can run with you on occasion or on a regular basis. Please e-mail Amanda if you are looking for a running partner. Include in your e-mail; which town you live in and your average pace. Amanda will contact you if someone else in your area is also looking for a buddy. You can meet your potential buddy at one of our Thursday Fun Runs or meet at the store for another run on a day of your choice.
