I did a 14.3 mile race today (odd distance!) to take me to 61.5/125. I'm almost half way there!

As inspired by Genesis, here's my first post. Although I have a bad back and other health issues which keep me from being the jockette I used to be, I still try and be as active as possible. This includes taking reformer Pilates classes two to three times a week. So along with my Pilates commitment, I'll make a March mileage commitment as well. I can't walk or run along with you guys, but I can pedal on my recumbent and accumulate miles on the elliptical. So here we go (keeping in mind 11 days of March have come and gone):

Elliptical - 40 miles
Recumbent - 40 miles

I guess I'll find out how reasonable these goals are I as go. Wish me luck!!

Hi there I am new to this site and the walk/run chalange sounds great. I live in Osoyoos BC Canada and spring is almost here so getting out is a lot nicer. I recently purchased a set of walking poles, so here goes. I have 30 pounds I would like to get rid of. Wish me luck!

wanda the witch 03-11-2007 08:54 PM

Welcome Bunny good luck!

Today too busy, only 1 mile watp and just 9145 on the pedometer. 66 miles to go till I reach my 100.

Have a good night!

Owwwwww!!!

I started week 4 in the Couch to 5 K yesterday, and it was the first workout in the plan that I was unable to complete. Boo! Hopefully I was just too tired- I caught myself yawning as I was doing it! I am going to try again today maybe. but man, my knees are really hurting. I bought a brace, but it gave me killer cramps in the bottom of my foot. I hope that this gets better as I become more accustomed to doing it- I don't want to not be able to run. :(

I'm going to kill that target this month - I've got races adding up to 33.1 miles before the end of the month, so even if I hardly run during the week I should be fine.

This is my first posting on this site and my goal for the next 5 weeks is to make it thru the couch to 5K program and run a 5K in May. Tomorrow I start into week four and would really like to hear from other that are doing or have done this program. I would also like a couch to 5K buddy to go thru this with. My stats are:
start weight 160
current weight 139
goal weight 120
age 45
diet plan Medifast

Michele L 03-17-2007 10:45 PM

18.8 miles this week plus some cycling

So far 46.1 for the month- I think I said 65 so on track to blow it away barring illness or injury

YP1 03-18-2007 01:00 PM

I did a 20 mile race yesterday to take me to 106.1/125. I've got a half marathon next weekend so I should make 125 easily. Today was a rest day so I went white water rafting instead.

ggreenhouse 03-18-2007 10:45 PM

exercise last week was spotty...but let's see

47.5 on March 8
March 10 + 4.5=52.
March 13+6.7=58.7
March 15+ 4.7=63.4
March 16+7.7=71.1
March 18=7.1=78.2

Just over 1/3 there but the month is half over. I will need to do some catch up days!

Helen, Congratulations on your one yr. maintainance. I only posted here because there are less posts than on the UK thread. I saw your new dress on your blog and your picture is really a boost to all of us who need to lose. I just started walking 5 to 6 mi. a day and I have been so sore. But your story is so encouraging.

tresor 03-22-2007 12:55 PM

I've been reading your thread and I want to join in for April. I recently moved into a "new" (105 years old) home and exercise has gone by the wayside while we paint inside and do yardwork on nice days. I'm ready to get into the walking/running groove. You all are doing great.
