Slippery out this morning so again walked instead of ran. Someday I'll be able to get back on track with running. At least I'm still out there doing something.

ennay-isn't it nice to have a workout partner waiting for you so you don't just rollover and go back to sleep? I know she's the only reason I've done a few morning workouts when it would've been so easy to hit the snooze button.

commits-I usually only run once a day, and usually dont run 2 days in a row. I've had an ankle surgery, and will probably have to have another one on the other ankle so I'm trying to preserve the ligaments and delay a second surgery.
Goal - 80
Done - 28 (6/22)

It is nice to have that workout buddy. I admit I like it better now that we just meet "on the run" because there is no standing around getting cold waiting. And if someone has to bail (usually me with that newborn) the other person doesnt waste time

No workout here today...today would be my gym day but there is a couple inches of ice covered with snow out there. Maybe if it melts I can go tonight (they only have childcare 9-11 and 5-7)

Hi everyone, I've been delinquent in posting (and a bit, in running too), but just thought I'd post my total to date - I'm up to 38 miles running for the month so far. But, I'm off on vacation starting Thursday, so I don't know how the totals will look on 1/31. Oh well, will be doing my best. Hope you are all getting out there and exercising!

There is no way I'll reach my goal this month. There have been to many rainy days. Oh well, we'll see what I can get done.

rain wont stop me. in Oregon have to love it, but glare ice is another story..sigh

ArtsyGirl 01-17-2007 03:13 PM

I'm a wimp. If its warm and raining I still go (as long as its not full fledged storm weather). BUT, if its COLD and rainy, I don't make myself get out there. I still do exercise, my routine just gets varied from a typical day which is not all that bad.

I'm coming to the realization that I don't think I'm going to hit my goal for this month. I was in class a couple of days ago and a girl tripped on the guy next to me and the tiny heel of her shoe came right down on my foot. I have a nice size bruise and it hurts pretty bad. The first few days I could barely walk. I've been icing it and soaking in hot epsom salt water - which helps but the pain always seems to come back. I'm not sure how long it will take before I can run again. It's been 4 days so far and it's definately taking it's toll.... it's depressing....

Commit-I hope your foot starts to feel much better. Dont worry about not getting your goal. I wont make mine this month and I dont have an injury as an excuse. There's always next month and another goal.

Goal: 70 miles
Completed: 57.19
Remaining: 12.81

I WILL MAKE MY GOAL THIS WEEK! When I started, I thought 70 miles was pushing it. I hadn't had over 60 since October. But I've really forced myself to do at least 3 miles 6 days a week and it's working! It's so exciting to see where I might actually END the month!!

Take care!

Michele :wave:

Will there be a February challenge since January is almost over?

ArtsyGirl 01-21-2007 02:45 PM

Jules-Welcome. We usually have a thread going. I think we missed December, but other than that we've been consistent. You can start posting your miles now too, and then you'll be accustomed to it for a Feb. goal.

Sure was beautiful out this morning with a fresh layer of snow and temps not to cold.

January Goal = 80 miles
Miles Completed = 45 (run/walk = 25/20)
Miles to Go = 35

Just got back from a week long busines trip. I managed to get some runs in on the hotel treadmill. Now that I'm back in town and healthy, I'm hoping the end the month strong. I also start swim lessons tomorrow.

January's nearing an end...keep it up ladies!

Michele L 01-22-2007 02:37 PM

January Goal: 70 miles
Miles completed: 64.15
Miles remaining: 5.85

I am going to shatter my goal! I think I'll go for at least 80; maybe even 85!
