  • Hi gang!
    Did 2.25 on treadmill today. Total so far now at 30 miles! That looks so cool on the screen.

    I feel much more conditioned than when I started at the begining of the month. Today I mostly ran at dif levels holding 2 lb hand weights the whole time. Talk about a pool of sweat!

    have great day.

  • Morning all! Yesterday was cross training for me, I went kayaking for about 3 hours...

    I did my 6 miler this morning and was glad when it was el finito!

    Total challenge miles: 44 miles
  • Hello runners!

    I just got back from finishing EZMONEY'S 5K. I'm actually kind of exhausted! After running for weeks on the treadmill with music, I was winded and bored to death running in the park. What's up with that??? Oh well, guess I was out of my comfort zone. I'll try again tomorrow with my ipod and see if that helps.

    Yesterday's walk/run: 2 miles
    Today's run: 3.5 miles
    Total for challenge: 37.5 miles
  • Did my 5k plus some. today=3.5
    total 33.5

    I think all this sudafed I'm taking for my allergies is having a very beneficial impact on my workouts. It's a good thing EZmoney does not drug test

    LOL. Maybe I should try that!
  • Morning gang!

    I've got cross training (probably cycling today) and a rest day tomorrow, so I won't be running again until Tuesday.

    We need to keep this thread going past the 50 miles don't you think? I'll hit 50 miles by Wednesday, and I don't wanna see the thread end!
  • Hi all. I did not use the subway for tranportation once I arrived at work this morning. I ran 3.2 miles from my first work site to the next and then I walked/ran another 1.8 heading back to Penn Station so I could catch my train back home.
    gives me a total of 5 miles for today.
    which is a good thing b/c I walked into my house smelling, then quickly inhaling half a container of chicken pad thai my nanny had made my kids for dinner. She left it on the counter for me. I'll ask her oh so sweetly not to do that. She knows I love it!
    Seriously, I did that in about 4-5 bites!

    Why don't we start another 50 mile challenge when someone wins this one?

    I'm now a total of 38.5 miles in this challenge. Rockin' cool.
  • Sorry I've been gone so long. I'm in the home stretch as far as university classes go, and my professors seem desperate to cram in as much extra misery as they can.

    And, in light of my long absence, I add...

    4 miles. Um. I'll work on that.
  • sooo close...
    Hi all!

    I'm a little behind in posting my miles so here goes nothing...

    Sunday: (Ran a second 5K with EZMONEY and the crew.) 3.1 miles
    Monday: Finished an easy walk/run: 3 miles

    Total for challenge: 43.6 miles
  • Morning gang! Got my 3 miles in this morning and it's chilly here, very weird!

    Total challenge miles: 47 miles

    KittyCat -- I love pad thai!!!! I'm a vegetarian so I eat veggie pad thai and OMG it is SO good!!! I get frozen meals from "Tandoor Chef" for portion control purposes, otherwise I'd scarf down tons of the stuff. Great job passing on the subway and getting those miles in!
  • Morning runners! Ran 3 miles this morning, felt pretty good. This is Week 5 of my 37 week marathon training program and I'm feeling optimistic about it so far. We'll see.

    Total challenge miles: 50 miles

    So, do we want to keep going and aim for 100 miles? Or start a new thread for another 50?
  • I would say keep going...even though i am no where near the first 50 miles. But I think everyone should have a chance to hit 50 by the end of the month.
  • I'm cool with continuing. I'd love to be able to say I've run 50 miles since ... I'll check to see when I started
  • We keep going then! Yippee! Onward and forward on the road and downward on the scales....

  • Add 5 miles for me. I ran (mostly) from my office to Penn Station, NYC-- with a backpack weighing lots and lots!!
    total now 43.5
