I have been divorced for 13 years and would describe myself as a very independent person. Running has become a way of life for me. I am not looking for a running partner, but would not object to running together occasionally. I have been running for 25 years now and it has made me a very disciplined person. I currently run approximately 25 miles a week, normally over 5 - 6 days. I also do some weight training 2 - 3 times a week, occasionally work out on the elliptical and have recently tried yoga. I try to include some type of exercise daily...I occasionally go country western dancing and country western music is my personal favorite. My favorite movies are comedies, but I also like action and drama. I enjoy going out, but also like staying home to read or watch a movie. I am looking for someone who is sincere and honest, likes to stay in reasonable shape (but not necessarily a runner) who appreciates my dedication to running. Life can be much more enjoyable when you have someone to share some of your time with. I enjoy sports, music, dancing, movies, running, dining out or cooking at home, working out, shooting pool, and spending time with friends and family. Running has made me a very disciplined person in all areas of my life. Sundays typically find me visiting my grandson and grandaughter here, but I also have a granddaughter and grandson who live in Virginia! I can be described as a disciplined, independent, honest, romantic, affectionate, flexible person with a great sense of humor. I am easy to get along with and consider myself low maintenance. I want a relaxed, genuine relationship with someone who believes in having an equal partnership. I am an independent woman and take pride in being able to to take care of myself, but would not be opposed to an occasional helping hand. I would like to find someone who shares many of my interests, but I think it is important to have individual interests outside of the relationship. I'm not looking to change anyone or for them to change me, just treat each other with respect. If there is a true mutual attraction both parties will be willing to experience new things. It would be great to have that comfortable/relaxed feeling with a special someone who knows what they want. I also love spontaneity and planning little surprises!

I would prefer to keep a first date short with maybe lunch or meeting for something to drink.
