Exercise! - October Run/Walk Challenge

Post your goals!

scaling back this month, but I ran 5 this morning

Run 5/80
Stroller 0/10

Well seeing as I keep missing my goals due to injuries and/or laziness, I am going to be conservative and say 40 for the month.

3.62 done today, ran 1 mile of that - have some sort of back muscle pain or a pinched nerve in the lower back and when exercising I am fine but as soon as I am done ouch. Even stretching killed my back. Not sure how to remedy that one.

3.62/40

I'm going to stick closely to where I was last month. Each run day I run 2 miles plus walk half a mile in my warm up/cool down, so I'm just going to add that in. Also, doing it all inclusive--no more distinguishing between walking and running--just the total.

42 miles total
I'll start tomorrow.

Aim high - 50 miles for the month! This would be a record for me.
C.

I'm going for 125 as normal, but I don't think I'll make it this month, with marathons to taper for, run, recover from and taper again (aarrrggghhh)

Still, I'm on the way, at 5.5/125

I can't tell how my month will play out because so much depends on what we do at cross country practice, but I'll have to skip some practices for other school responsibilities, sadly (for example, this week I just ran today and won't be able to run again until the weekend!!) I'll stick with 80 as my goal and hope that I can make it!!

Today - 5.8 miles (2.75 run, the rest walking) -- 5.8/80

2.1 miles today - 1.25 was running

4.72/40

I have doubled my goal the last two months since I had more "home" time. I am continuing with a 3.25 mile goal each day although I will probably go at least 10 days with zero miles, as I am going to go to Illinois and take care of my mom while my sister comes here to visit her grandbaby and kids. I took yesterday off because of a long day at work. Today I got in a 3 mlie dog walk and 2 treadmill miles.

I hope you all reach your goals this month!

5/100 miles

90 minutes

I'm joining this month I'm going to do 50 -2 today :carrot:

2.5 mile run -- 8.3/75

Increasing 10 miles over last month's goal, which was 50 miles and I exceeded that. So I will shoot for 60 walking/elliptical miles for October. :running:

1.5 elliptical miles and 1.1 walking miles today!

3 miles today (dumb question what are the numbers as in 3.35/70)?Sorry to ask but if it something I need to record would like to do that thanks

Losingit ~ NOT silly if you don't know! the first number is the miles you have reached so far for the month...the second is the goal number. As you can see the first day of the month I had 5 miles out of my goal for 100...today I add 5 more.

Oh, and good news! I have finally motivated DH to join me!! He's starting the c25k program on Tuesday!

2.25 today which included a 1.5 mile run. I am *finally* getting back into it.

Oh I also am lifting twice a week now, so I will add that as well to see how far I get in that regard!

Today is a day off of running, so I figured I'd try to trick my body and do step aerobics. OMG it's been a year since I have done that and it totally worked different muscles. I think that might be my "off" day exercise of choice now!

17.5/42

Gary!~LOL about the anchor!!! Actually, it's HE that has the anchor--our 13+ year old yellow lab. He had a hard time on the uphill parts today. I'm almost wondering if DH will continue to want to run with him once the longer stretches come in. Anyway, we do our warm up walk together and then I take off--he follows the c25k podcast and warms up a bit longer that I do. He goes almost as far as I do, but he trails me for the first half. Then when we turn around, I trail him until almost the 3/4 mark when I pass him. I continue to run and once I stop, I double back to meet him and we walk back home together. It will be interesting once he is running the same distance as me. I wonder if I'll keep up (he runs faster, I think).

2 miles this morning, going to hit the treadmill again tonight for a longer walk while I watch Smallville :) I ate too much today so I need an extra workout!

20.83/40

60 mins lifting

80 min aerobics

3 mile run -- 28.9/75

Well I did a 3.5 mile combo dog walk/treadmill today after work. It was easy day on the mutts and I am off tomorrow so I will do 3.5 with them probably, although Angie mentioned she goes in late tomorrow and was going to do a 3.5 mile run with them....either way they will love it!

36.5/100 miles

680 minutes

ALLISON...When Angie and I walk/run any distance while in-training, she usually is quicker out of the gate....but I have way more endurance so I catch and then pass her. If I feel a need I slow down so she can catch up again....it has helped our marraige immensely! We get to walk/run together yet separate! wink

Angie took the dogs on a run this morning so I did 6 miles on the treadmill.

42.5/100 miles

770 minutes

7 mile run today -- 35.9/75

I'm a bit late, but I would really like to join! So far this month I have jogged/run 12 miles. My monthly goal will be 40.
So that makes me 12/40. I'm excited about this thread.

Doubt I'll make my goal this month, since the pulled hamstring has forced me to rest for nearly a week... It felt ok on the run today, but I took it at a very slow, easy pace. Hope I'm ok for my 5k next Saturday!

69/100 miles

1,195 minutes

1.9 miles - 77.9/125

I'll also be surprised if I make my goal as I'm not planning on running too much more this month after Sunday.

Well after three lazy days, I am back with a nice 3.6 miles and that was 1.75 of running, the highest I have posted since I got hurt. Wanted to do anything more than 1.5 to get my confidence back and it worked like a charm!

Oh I forgot about this thread until just now. I am now at 20.85/40. Better get movin as we are well over the half way poing in the month and I am just a tiny smidge over half way in my mileage. Oh well, there is still time.
20.85/40

Angie and I took the girls for their Starbucks this morning, plus a little side trip to the bank for some cash...man! Starbucks is expensive! But money is no object when it comes to the best water latte's for my "girls"!

LOL no those are my totals for the month :) All I did today was the 3.15 miles. Ha I would be a little sore if I did all that in one day!

We went to church last night so Angie took the girls on a 3 mile run while I did a 3 mile treadmill walk.

Still too much smoke and ash for walking the mutts. They are going nuts without their walks! I was able to do 4.5 on the treadmill....we are supposed to conserve electricity because of the fires.....but we have 5 people in the house now that exercise in one way or another everyday...and we can't go outside to do it because of the smoke.

94/100 miles

I might make it after all. 6.4 this evening - 110.5/125

DH went to see the doctor....seems he's really out of shape. He's got fluid under his knee because his quads weren't strong enough to support his running. He's on an anti inflammatory and ice packs until it feels better, then he can strengthen using the Nordic Track before he tries to run. The operative word here is CAN. Whether or not he WILL is another story!

Ran a 5k this morning...48/75

We braved the "light" smoke and took the dogs on a short 2 miler...no Starbucks. I finished with 2.5 on the treadmill before yard work and "smoke and ash" clean-up.

106/100 miles

114.5/100 miles

1,925 minutes

A short 1.8 mile run today -- 57.8/75

Sadly this will probably be the extent of my running in October, so I didn't hit my goal. :( My schedule and my hamstring pain didn't permit me to run as much as I would've liked. Oh well..there's always next month!

3.7 miles today - 128/125

2 miles

35/42. I'm not going to make my goal because I didn't do a solo walk on my Sunday walks. DH was in too much pain to walk, so there went 6-8 miles toward my goal. Oh, well.

Angie and I walked the dogs 2.5 miles after work today.
