I recently moved to the Tampa area and enjoy going on a slow run i can run up to 4 miles. I do not have any friends here and was wanting to know if anybody knew any running clubs or how i could find someone to jog and hang out with? Any good ideas would be great

Take a look at the website http://www.active.com They list events around the country (running and other) and you may be able to find a local group or person in your area that is into running...I've used that site to register for a couple of run/walks here in the Ft.Walton Beach, FL area...
OR you can register for an event in your area, and then see if you make friends or meet someone at the event that might be interested in having a jogging partner.
Good luck!

Go to a local park in the morning around 8-9 or in the afternoon between 1-3 and you will see and find others there jogging and walking. Strike up a conversation or make a way for them to by running next to them. Be safe and have fun. Blessed be.

Hide behind a bush on a bicycle path and when someone jogs by just start running beside them.

Wish I knew - I even went on singles sites and asked on all of them. Not one person wants an exercise partner.

try meetup.com or ask around at your gym if there's a group or ask any of the trainers there if they have clients at the gym that might be of similar skill level.
good luck!

Try to keep up with the other joggers then you'll have a friend.

Ask a Wal-Mart greeter to go with you. Wal-Mart greeters are way into jogging.
