Thanks! What is WATP's video? Never heard of it and don't know what that means. Is it Walk Away The Pounds? If so, I just won a DVD of that on Ebay yesterday for $2.00! Worth a shot when I really can't get out of the house.

Thanks for the encouragement ladies! Hey...thanks for the post about the Yak-Tracks! I just ordered mine day before yesterday...they're on backorder.

I went out for 4.5 miles today. It was 24 degrees but thank God no wind. I had a glass of wine last night too and its funny how one little glass of wine can affect your running.

Ennay...love your progress photos. Your children are just beautiful!

So who here belongs to a running club or has races lined up for 2009? I joined a running club but have yet to do a run with them. Going to call the lead guy in charge today to find out when/where their long run is this weekend. I am signed up to run the Jersey Shore Half Marathon on May 5th (?...I think its the 5th).

Another final question...how do I get my tickers into my profile????

After being a member for 20 days an option will appear under user CP to let you edit your signature and then you can make a ticker. There are instructions on how to do so here: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56332

for running miles tickerfactory.com lets you make one and the process is similar to the one on 3fc.

As far as a running club, I haven't joined. Ther is a half marathon the day before my 25th b-day that I want to do here in Ontario.

ok, love this idea! And I need some serious motivation and challeges. I'm not a runner, but I'd like to be one. I'm going to count my combined movement, elliptical, treadmill, bike, outside walk/jog and I'll aim for the 1000 miles as well. I'm going to enjoy a cup of coffee right now while everyone is still alseep and the house is quiet and then I'll kick it off in a couple of hours. Thanks for a great idea!!

I ran once with the running club here in Charlotte and they are just too fast for me at this point. It's okay - I'll get there and they were all very nice. I'm doing a 5k on Valentines day and after that I'm going to consider finding a 10k to shoot for.

For your ticker go to userCP and edit signature. You'll see ticker options there.

Kim: yeah.. it's walk away the pounds. It's not high intensity but its better than nothing when you are stuck inside. I like the ones that have some jogging in them :)

Im very frustrated.. I have neuro cardiogenic syncope.. which i guess is a fancy word for ' i pass out now and again' my blood pressure lowers and sky rockets for a couple seconds when I first stand up or change positions quickly like that. It never happened till I got HEALTHY which is annoying.. hehe but anyway.. im frustrated because I had another spell today at the gym and had to back out of yoga.. and couldnt run today. Im going to chill for teh afternoo nand hopefully i can go for a walk/run this evening.

+5.27 miles this morning...

2009 Challenge miles: 8.41..... 991.59 to go!

As of today, it's my first week EVER of exercising for 6 days out of the week. :carrot: Yesterday was my day off, and I was afraid it would derail me, and I'd take the next 6 months off! But no, this morning, I got up and got on the [evil :devil:] treadmill. There was a day last week when I was literally crying I hated it so much. But you know what, most days I only mostly hated it, lol. And a few days it wasn't so bad. But no matter how I felt, I did it, and that's the important thing.

This morning 1.25 miles. I feel silly being proud of such a small number.:^:

Woot, thinpossible!!!! :carrot: 1.25 miles is great!!! :bravo:

That's awesome!!! You should be VERY proud, way to go!

Thanks Josephine for posting this on your blog and letting us know about it!!!

I am definitely in, and I am even going to go for 1000, even though I won't make it that far! But it's a good goal to have in mind and keep me motivated.

And I'll add the 1.5 miles I ran yesterday to that!! YAY -- ONLY 998.5 TO GO!!!

This sounds good!
Count me in!

+ 6.7 miles for me today, the weather was great.

thinpossible: thats exactly how I started out on the treadmill except more like .25 miles at a time. 1.25 miles is an awesome effort. Keep up the good work.

3 miles down, 497 to go. :carrot:

By the way, where are you getting mileage trackers from?

I got nothing for yesterday....except new pants, which are a size 10! (I'm telling everyone, I haven't been this size since the early 90s.)

I'm planning on doubling up today, I did 3 miles this morning, and I plan to go again tonight. I took it slow this morning, so I'll just go til I've got nothing left to give, probably only a couple of miles.

tickerfactory.com the process is pretty much same as 3fc.
