Every Friday, three DC area bloggers Mary at Mar On the Run, Cynthia at You Signed Up For What?! and Courtney from Eat Pray Run, DC to host the Friday Five linkup.  Anyone can join with their own Friday Five post (yes, it must be a Friday Five!!)  They encourage you to visit other blogs on the linkup, comment, share and engage!

This week, the theme is Five Ways to Share Running Love

1. Connect Online

Blogs, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, DailyMile.

There are so many places. And you will meet new running friends.

I net Barbara through FB

I met AJH though blogging

2. Join a Group

FleetFeet has groups as well as USAFit and many races have training groups that you can join.

I recently joined the Freihofer Run for Women’s Training Group

3. Run with a friend.

We have run together many times and we chat about running, of course.

4. Racing

I run a lot of races so now I see so many familiar faces. We talk about the current races. We also chat about past and future races and running experiences.

5. Point Out the Benefits.

Most of my friends don not run.  And every time, they mention some study about how running is bad for you, I always talk about the positives.

Happy Running! How do you share your running love?
