"I went running with my girlfriend last wednesday" should be accepted as well. Reported on Nov. 18, 2017.
Nowhere does the Mandarin sentence use "去," so "My girlfriend and I ran last Wednesday" should be accepted. Reporting...
I am curious. I chat on wechat with Chinese friends. They seem to always use yiqi qu in a sentence like this. Eg. 我和努朋友一起去跑步。So much so that i thought it was necessary. Obviously it's not, so when should you use yiqi qu?

I just looked this up because I've never seen it before as a beginner. Since 一起去 means "go together", I suppose it makes it clear that both people did the activity together instead of each person doing it on their own. "My girlfriend and I run every day", could mean separately at different times. That's how I understand it.
Since it was 'last Wednesday' , why is the past tense 'ran' not acceptable? 'Last Wednesday my girlfriend and I ran', I do not usually say 'I went running' for those occurrences. I think the only time I have used 'I went running' was in response to a question, like 'what did you do Saturday morning'.
"Last Wednesday my girlfriend and I went running." was rejected.
It's apparently accepted now since that's the suggested answer for "Last Wednesday, my girlfriend and I ran." (which was rejected).
Edit: I've confirmed that "Last Wednesday, my girlfriend and I went running." is accepted.
That should be correct. Remember that in English expression, "I" always go after like "you and I" or "she and I" etc.

Well there's "慢跑" for "jog" but I'm pretty sure that "跑步" covers both running and jogging so both should be accepted.
no fair! i learned from other sentences to deliberately use the wrong english form "me and x did y" in order to satisfy duolingo rather than be actually correct, and NOW you mark "last wednesday me and my girlfriend went running" wrong?
I have a question, since 跑步 is a seperable verb, why is it writen in its basic form in this sentence if there is an adverb of time? is it incorrect if I say 我和女朋友跑了上个星期三的步

上个星期三 isn't describing the running itself, but tells when it took place. If it tells when it took place, it goes at the beginning or right after the subject. If it tells the duration of time that the running took place, it goes in the middle like that. You can have both of these in one sentence (I went running with my girlfriend for an hour last Wednesday: 上个星期三我和女朋友跑一个小时的步).
This sentence clearly says "I AND a girlfriend" - why is the correction "I went running WITH MY girlfriend"?
In translation it does not say my girlfriend therefore implying with a girlfriend
Does this actually mean girlfriend or just a friend who is a girl? I would have thought girlfriend would have to be "我和我的女朋友".
"Last Wednesday I and my girlfriend went running" is correct, but was marked wrong. Please fix.
The system is not wotking, it recognized the first word even if I say for sure the right word, please check the BUG

"last wednesday i went on a run with my girlfriend." was marked wrong. i feel that it's correct. thoughts?
We've got more and more left unsaid. "My" and "went" have both been expressed in other lessons and here they're left out. Ok, I'll stop complaining now.
Last Wednesday I and my girlfriend went running" is correct, but was marked wrong. Please fix!
