Well, at least I've started. It was a nice walk this morning. I'm enjoying the light this week before they throw that early time change at us and plunge me back into blackness.

I just ran/walked 4 miles, so that puts me at 7/55 so far!

And Wanda, I started running when I was at 222 lbs. (I used the Couch to 5K program on coolrunnings.com). If you are interested in running, you should give it a try!

I started running at 260, so you can never be too fat as long as you take it gently!

I did 7 miles with running club tonight, which takes me to 36.1/125 and 32 miles in the past 3 days. I'm having a rest day tomorrow

UPDATE:

March Goal: 90 fitness miles
Miles completed: 22.22 miles
Miles remaining: 67.78 miles

I got on the treadmill after a REALLY busy day yesterday, fully intending to only do 1 mile. I guilted myself into staying on for 55 minutes, which was 3.11 miles! Hoping for another long workout today, since I leave for Kansas City (professional conference) tomorrow until Sunday. I want to have at least 18 miles done this week (another challenge I'm involved in) and I'm a bit over halfway there.

Have a great week!

argh! my reply disappeared! oh well--

I am new to running and newer to the forum. I have started the couch to 5K program and I am completely hooked. I am forcing myself to go every other day and stay on track but I want to keep running! I am loving it!

Anyway, on Monday I did W3w1-- I cannot believe that this time last month I couldn't run for longer than 30 seconds at a time, and now I can run for three minutes at a time! Unbelievable. Can't wait to go again today, although i was pretty surprised when I used the online pedometer thing to chart my distance and saw that it takes me about 35 minutes to run/walk about 2.5 miles. I thought I was going much farther. Oh well, I will get there someday.

Any other runners from the South? i am so worried about what will happen when it is 85 degrees at 7 in the morning with 86% humidity.

Great challenge. I'm committing to 60. I typically get to walk (treadmill at gym) only 4-5 days a week and get in about 3 miles each time.

18 down
42 to go
