Thanks EsperanzaBella82 glad to be part of the challenge. In the last 4 weeks I've been making it a point to run 20 miles each week, I'm hoping to do an extra 10 this month.

Dec 16th: 3.81 miles on elliptical trainer

Progress so far:

27.64 / 50 miles

+4.3 = 52.2/90

welcome Jackie! we look forward to seeing/sharing your progress!
I was christmas shopping yesterday, my friend wanted starbucks, so I comprimised, and told her I would have a sf coffee with sf syrup, no whipped cream. if she walked with me.... well I got a mile in yeah! It isn't much, but considering she almost never exercises, it was good, and at least I can log atleast a mile. sooo29.5 is my new total!!

1.7miles on the nordic track before work....31.2/59 finally past halfway!

Lewisempire~ Way to go on encouraging your friend to get in a bit of exercise & creative thinking to do it while at the mall! Awesome job! :carrot:
:congrat: on getting past halfway.

JackieRn~Glad you could join us! You are already going & going & going! Great job!

Esperanza~I think you have been the most faithful in getting your exercise in so :bravo: on being an inspiration to all of us.

My day yesterday went kind of wacky so I made up for it today.

Dec. 18: :ebike:11.7 HIIT (Whew!)

Thanks for the welcome urockmom and Lewisempire

52.2/90 + 3.3 = 55.5/90

Dec 18th: 1.5 miles on elliptical trainer

Progress so far:

29.14 / 50 miles

Keep it up everyone!! We'll be there before you know it!

Would not have done 8 miles without this challenge. I really wanted to see that 60+ miles marker before heading into christmas week when all things exercise related have a way of being pushed down the priority list..

55.5/90 + 8 = 63.5/90

I did 1.7 miles on the nordic track, and a mile at work last night. my new total 32.9/59. Slow and steady !!

Where has everyone gotten off to???
I realized today, I need to get my butt in gear, or I will miss my mark again! So I did my trusty nordic track for 3.9 miles! Yeah! Sometimes the hardest part is just getting on the thing, then I don't want to get off of it because I start seeing my mileage rack up!!!
I hope you are all well, and are finding little ways to stay active while you celebrate!! :snow4:
Now I am off to work feeling ENERGIZED! Thanks again for this thread!:wave:

Here I am everyone! I didn't get any exercise in yesterday but made up for it today with 45 mins of resistance training and then 25 minutes of HIIT on the bike.

But, I forgot to check my mileage when I fell off the thing. I am estimating at 8.5 miles based on previous workouts. Now, I am climbing my stairs up & down, up & down, as I attempt to find all the presents I have hidden and wrap them! :) Hope everyone is having a happy, Christmas-y day! :hohoho:

Dec 20th: 4 mile WATP DVD

Progress so far:

4.1 miles on the nordic track today before work!! woohoo past the 40 mile marker!! I hope you are all having a good christmas week! Keep up the hard work!! 40.9/59

Dec 21st: 4 mile WATP DVD

Progress so far:

37.14 / 50 miles

I hope all of you ladies are having a great weekend! I'm about to go out to do some more of that last minute Christmas shopping.

+ 4.4 = 67.9/90

+ 5 = 72.9/90

The most exhausting 5 miles I've ever done, running on snow/ice felt like running on sand.

A great day of skiing yesterday! Lots of fresh powder but also lots & lots of wind!!! :brr: I did about 10 runs so I am estimating that at about 3 miles. (Who knows but my thighs were burning!)

So, I am at 48.9 as of today! :snowglo: Almost there!

I am going to go jump on the elliptical this morning for a little bit just to try and work some of the stiffness out of my legs. I'll post that mileage later.

Hope everyone is having a happy, happy :santa: day!

Oh my, I exercised today for the first time in a week! :faint: That is a major :nono: and not to be repeated again unless I am bedridden! LOL. :p I could make excuses, like that I was derailed by sickness, but that is in the past and I no longer have any excuse not to keep up my exercise.

I know I will not meet my 90 mile goal this month, but I am going to try for at least 50 miles. We still have 8 more days, girls! Everyone seems to be doing so well despite the holiday! You are all so inspiring to me. :hug:

Today:

3.3 mile walk

December Mileage Total: 27.7/50

PS That is my little baby Zach and my mother in my avatar. The pic was taken in front of my parent's house on Halloween (hence the KitKat in Mom's hand...haha). Zach helped hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters for his first Halloween. And yep, we're Phillies fans!

+ 3.2 = 76.1/90

EsperanzaBella82: very cute dog, unlike me he must be quite disciplined to be trusted with chocolate :)

Esperanza, you have a sweet little pup there...Is he a black lab? I got on the nordic track tonight after a super busy day, but only because I wanted to post some more miles tonight. Thanks so much for all your inspiration girls! 3.1 miles ===>44.5 miles I have the whole day off friday, so I will hopefully make up some miles, until then I will keep plugging alone a couple miles at a time!! merry Christmas to you all!

+ 5.3 = 81.4/90

I'm in the home stretch. :) Merry Christmas Everyone !!!

3.5 miles in today total 47.55 miles!!

The weather was too nice for me not to get a run done. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

81.4 + 5 = 86.4/90

Merry Christmas Everyone!!! :xcheer:

I managed to hop on the elliptical this morning between bursts of opening presents and got in 1.5 miles so I JUST made it over the line for Christmas.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day with family and friends!!!

:hohoho:

Well, I got 5000 steps in yesterday for 2.5 miles! Hope everyone had a great Christmas! Congrats on making your goal early UROCK That is cool! My total 50/59
