2 on the treadmill today. Wow...I am seriously stunned by how many miles I've done so far! (Mostly because I've never kept track so thoroughly before.) I am loving this goal!!

I finished up the 3 day weekend with 15 1/2 miles (3 days combined : ) - Happy Birthday Dr. King!

I've been slacking lately because of my boredom with the treadmill, but 5.3 miles today and some on the weekend that I previously added to my ticker. I'm considering waking up early to do a short run on the treadmill, then do another one at night to ease my boredom. Anyways, everyone's doing great! This thread is really keeping me on top of things:carrot:

I did a quick 3 miler on Friday, ran a 10K on Saturday, and nice 10 miler long run on Sunday. That brings me to 71.6 running miles so far. We also went kayaking for another 5.9 miles -- that's 23.4 paddling miles so far for a total of 95 miles!

Awesome, I can't do that kind of distance on a treadmill either. Great job!

I'm still plugging away at mine. I actually didn't track everything I did last week, but did about 3 miles every day -walking mostly. Did a 2 mile walk yesterday afternoon and then a 2 mile run last night.

I've been getting side cramps lately, but I know(think) it's not from dehydration because I've been drinking a ton of water. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, the snow has been coming down in ridiculous amounts and the sidewalks aren't being maintained very well so I've resigned myself to running indoors. The one consolation is I can feel all four extremities at the same time which is a real treat.

Another 8.69 for me today.

I know I'm jumping in late, but I just started working out again on Sunday (after starting my diet a week before) and I want to kick myself in the butt, so I'm in for 800 miles. Hopefully I can surpass that. I'll be doing that by brisk walking and biking, and possibly the elliptical. I'm 9 miles in after 2 days! I'll add the ticker once I reach my 20 days. :)

I'm excited to have a goal! Woohoo!

I'm finding this goal to be a wonderful spur to working out! Welcome!

Thanks ladies! :high:

+3.75 miles this afternoon in the wind.

56.44 miles down.... just 943.56 miles to go. Ha.

Hey MaryEllen!

+3.33 today. It is CHILLY outside. Love my new shoes though!

2 walking miles today.
Hoping for a double outside run tomorrow. One nice thing about the treadmill, I have been able to challenge myself to go faster than I've ever gone. (even if it is for very short periods)

OK, just took a good look at ticker. If I want to stay on track, I need about 40 miles in 10 days??!! all in good time....

ETA bad math :dizzy: I need 20 miles in 10 days.. do-able :)

5 done today. i cursed several people out and diid some beeching and yelling all the way to work (in my head that is... well maybe a little out loud to myself)
and now I feel a i bit more human.

running-- my therapy :D

It's my therapy too! I feel 100 times better than I did driving home from work. 5 tread miles.

2 more miles today, bringing me up to 11 since Sunday. :)

3.2 miles! Woohoo!

I'm really struggling! I think the weather has got me down. I had to force myself to do 4 miles lastnight, hopefully I can get in at least 6 tonight... I can't believe I'm already losing steam, I need some motivation!

You and me both I've taken 3 days off in the last week and today I have no desire to run. I'm glad I started out so motivated that I've passed my monthly goal thanks to my garmin obsession. I knew this would happen eventually. I blame the cold weather, its kept me on the treadmill for my past 5 runs, I just can't take it anymore.

I've been sick for days :( and couldn't run anywhere. (Well, except to the bathroom :dizzy:).

Finally got my butt moving today for 1.5 miles but it was HARD!!! :devil: Now I've got to get in 12.5 miles more before the end of the month. :running:

It's really tough to run in bad weather! What I find is helpful is doing a *little* bit of something -- just enough to remind myself that I like to get my body moving, that I need to keep up the practice, and hopefully keep up my mood (because I've found exercise is *really* helping my mood).

Yesterday: 1.5 miles on the treadmill. After an hour of weights, it was all I could drag out of myself.

Two more miles on the bike and one on the elliptical, for the first time in four years. I was so proud. :)

Jackie there's hope! Today it was -10 with little wind and I had a fabulous run! 7 miles for me:carrot:. I'm in massive amounts of pain because lots of hills and the transition from the treadmill to outdoors is painful. No matter how many incline intervals I do etc. nothing can mimic the outdoors:mad:.

1.5 in today. Maybe it's TMI but i'm doing a detox cleanse right now and running isn't good for my insides at the moment... hahaha

sm: I'm the same way about transitioning to the outdoors I find it strange that there are people who run better outdoors than they do on the treadmill, I wish that were me that is not the case. Great Job getting out there.

I procastinated all day and went to the Y to run, its still snowing and what I would be doing out there would not be running so I've decided to cut my loses and stick with it. Another 12.01 miles.

I've promised my self that I will run trails in the spring. I used to do a bit of sporadic trail running about 3 years ago but never bothered to get trail shoes. Does anyone have a brand they recommend?

4.5 miles on the treadmill.

30 miles run, 470 to go :)

Such great energy on this thread! Go Team Go!! :)

2 outside with 3lb handweights. wanted 6 but dh staying home and 2yr old being up at 4am kinda got in the way. (ok, I let it get in the way. ;))

But I am good and sweaty now. And am trying to power out 2 more hiit on tread later. I have some tivo shows to keep my boredom somewhat at bay.

TGIF!

+5.29 miles today.

+ 3 today

1.5 miles to the gym
heavy leg workout
1.5 miles home.....slow and so so tough but I made it!

Only 1.5 for me today, yesterday was hard on me. Hopefully we don't get too much snow tonight so I can get in an early outdoor run tomorrow:carrot:

I did ten miles on the bike today....up to 24 miles total.

I tried the stair-stepper today, but got tired after about 5 minutes. I'm going to push myself, slowly, to do a mile on that thing, because it's fun to use but it's SUCH a workout!

maryellen.. the stair stepper kills me. i feel your pain hahaha
Im up to 6 minutes before my body goes numb lol

clocked 4 miles today.. doing WATP... im not puching myself like i should.. trying to get back in the swang of thangs... gonna try to run tomorrow :)

+3.10 this morning. Getting faster!

Angie and I took the mutts out for 3 today.

49/1000 MILES

Great job all!!

4 miles for me today, at the track with some sprint intervals thrown in.

15.7 more TM miles.

I really really was going to get up at 4 this morning and go for a run, really I was.

But when I was still wide awake and staring at the ceiling at 1am, and I knew that I had to get up at 5:15 for a 12 hour shift, I decided to reset my alarm.

Please don't condemn me!
