Hi! I’m Jillian and I’m NEW to running after mostly being involved in powerlifting for the last couple of years. I am from SD and moved to NoVA a couple years ago. My goals are really just to round out my fitness by increasing cardio and learning to love running. I’d like to start with a 5k and eventually work up to 10 miles comfortably. I have been intimidated to run with others because I am slow and still building my base, but this community seems to welcome everyone.

I actually live in the newington forest area but would love to be more social and make it out for a few local community runs. Am also open to connecting with people who live a bit further out my way! Looking forward to meeting some of you :)
