In 2008, several of us ran in a 500 miles by Christmas challenge. Some of us got there (and then some---looking at you: Jo, Kitty, & Jenguin!) and some of us reached a different goal (300, thank you very much!).

Now we are starting a new year and have a new goal!

The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step....Are you IN???

This thread is open to everyone--if you are thinking of running 1000 miles by 12/31/2009...or 600....or walking 300...the idea is to move and track your mileage and have some fun along the way!

Good luck to us all!!!!

Go us!! Thread #2. Lets burn through this one as fast as we did the last one!!

Thread 1 can be found here if you want to recheck your mileage:

15.6 today, 8.something yesterday.

I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about the hamstring. I'm up to 10 min run intervals and it held up pretty well today. Icing the bejeezus out of it now. I wanted to roll it first but the kids ran off with my foam roller.

I have done about 80 miles so far this year!

[Fat Chick B Gone]

I'm slapping myself for slacking the past 10 days or so. I did get a few miles in since I last logged.
1/30 = .92
1/31 = 3.06
2/3 = 1.45
2/5 = 1.33
2/6 = 1.75

total since last check in = 8.51. I will be outside today enjoying the awesome weather we're supposed to have and making up some mileage!

OK, so I was away on a little getaway with DH for our anniversary and we skiied BIG time on Friday and Saturday. HUGE days for us and my legs are exhausted but we had a great time.

Friday: 6.8 miles
Saturday: 3.4 miles

So, my total is going up....

7 mile run, inc. hills.

Note to self: do not try to do longish run the morning after having a margarita. Thx.

75/1000 MILES

Didn't walk the beach as planned....the rains came in so Angie and I did 3.5 around the neighborhood with the mutts.

Did 2 miles on the elliptical yesterday, and then pushed myself and did 4.5 in an hour today. My legs are dead but it's worth it.

6 miles done today

My first post in the new thread! 10.2 miles and feeling fantastic ladies!

Diane -- running after drinking any alcohol the night before is pretty exhausting. I ran on New Years day after partying the night before and I was so incredibly dehydrated I wanted to die. Lesson learned lol

[thinpossible]

I'm still with you guys! Fell off the exercise wagon for a little while, and have also been alternating walking with exercise videos. We'll see how many miles I can do this year. I've (and I'm not saying "only") done 22 so far.

I ran on Sunday after having 2 glasses of wine Sat. night. I did the six miles with 2.5 pound hand weights to try and increase the challenge. As soon as I got home, I quickly changed and took my three youngest to a party at Chuck E. Cheese (I'd be happy to never return) and scarfed 3-4 pizza slices and had a cupcake and 1/2 slice cake. Then after the party came home and passed out on our couch for 1 hour!!! had crackers and cheese for dinner.....

don't know exactly why I'm sharing this???....

five on the way to work today ETA-- 3 more!

have a smooth monday, gang!
