Expat running in USA

Just completed W3R2. I’m an expat Brit and live just outside Washington DC - found out about the app on BBC News website. It’s great, I haven’t run since my twenties due to knee trouble, I’m 58 now. Anyone else in the USA?

Hello Taffy :)

Yep, Im on this side if the Pond :) I get to DC occasionally, but closest in forseeable future will be NC in November. Anyhow, welcome to the programme and forum and you are from the country I dream of retirement in :)

Luckily we live just outside the madness of DC and just get to dip in every now and then! I’m off to Boston in a couple of weeks. Working toward the NYC United Airlines half in 2020.

Oooh good luck with that 👌🏽you’ll be at HM by next year 👍🏽

My condolences as you run in swamp air!

Hello. I am in the US, also East Coast :) But not an ex-pat, just a regular old citizen.

Welcome.

It’s been a strange summer. Last few runs have been after a storm in clearer air. Today, swamp Air is most definitely back for W4R1!

I’m in Montreal Canada where it has been very hot and humid this summer. Good luck with your journey to 5k!
