Any Runners here?

[UMDRunner]

I am pretty serious into running. I run track and cross country at the college level now and was woundering if there were any other runners here. If so, what level? 5K? 10K? marathon?

I run pretty much everything from the 400m to the half marathon. I Would classify myself mostly as a mid-distance runner. Here are my personal bests

400m: 51.3
800m: 1:56
1600m: 4:15
3000m: 8:52
5000m: 15:42
8000m: 26:28
Half Marathon: 1:16:42 (Only ran it once)

I just got back into running. I've never done it competitively but more for exercise. I have participated in a few 5ks though. I'm a bigger and thus, slower, guy but in my prime I can do a 7.5 minute mile.
I'd like to do the LA Marathon one day but it's going to take close to a year for me to get to that level.

a little off topic, are you a terp?

Sorry I had to. I tried running track in school but seemed to be very prone to shin splints. I stick to a fast walk for 30-45 minutes on the treadmill as part of my cardio workout nowadays.

Thats still good though. I actually had some pretty bad shin problems in early highschool. I had 2 stress fractures in my tibia's. I really haven't had any major problems in college yet though "knock on wood"
