In 2008, several of us ran in a 500 miles by Christmas challenge. Some of us got there (and then some---looking at you: Jo, Kitty, & Jenguin!) and some of us reached a different goal (300, thank you very much!).

Now we are starting a new year and have a new goal!

The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step....Are you IN???

This thread is open to everyone--if you are thinking of running 1000 miles by 12/31/2009...or 600....or walking 300...the idea is to move and track your mileage and have some fun along the way!

Good luck to us all!!!!

Go us!! Thread #2. Lets burn through this one as fast as we did the last one!!

Thread 1 can be found here if you want to recheck your mileage:

Oh my goodness. That didn't take long, did it.

6 miles today.

15.6 today, 8.something yesterday.

I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about the hamstring. I'm up to 10 min run intervals and it held up pretty well today. Icing the bejeezus out of it now. I wanted to roll it first but the kids ran off with my foam roller.

I have done about 80 miles so far this year!

I'm slapping myself for slacking the past 10 days or so. I did get a few miles in since I last logged.
1/30 = .92
1/31 = 3.06
2/3 = 1.45
2/5 = 1.33
2/6 = 1.75

total since last check in = 8.51. I will be outside today enjoying the awesome weather we're supposed to have and making up some mileage!

Easy day, 3.5 miles.

OK, so I was away on a little getaway with DH for our anniversary and we skiied BIG time on Friday and Saturday. HUGE days for us and my legs are exhausted but we had a great time.

Friday: 6.8 miles
Saturday: 3.4 miles

So, my total is going up....

7 mile run, inc. hills.

Note to self: do not try to do longish run the morning after having a margarita. Thx.

75/1000 MILES

Didn't walk the beach as planned....the rains came in so Angie and I did 3.5 around the neighborhood with the mutts.

Did 2 miles on the elliptical yesterday, and then pushed myself and did 4.5 in an hour today. My legs are dead but it's worth it.

6 miles done today

My first post in the new thread! 10.2 miles and feeling fantastic ladies!

Diane -- running after drinking any alcohol the night before is pretty exhausting. I ran on New Years day after partying the night before and I was so incredibly dehydrated I wanted to die. Lesson learned lol

I'm still with you guys! Fell off the exercise wagon for a little while, and have also been alternating walking with exercise videos. We'll see how many miles I can do this year. I've (and I'm not saying "only") done 22 so far.

I ran on Sunday after having 2 glasses of wine Sat. night. I did the six miles with 2.5 pound hand weights to try and increase the challenge. As soon as I got home, I quickly changed and took my three youngest to a party at Chuck E. Cheese (I'd be happy to never return) and scarfed 3-4 pizza slices and had a cupcake and 1/2 slice cake. Then after the party came home and passed out on our couch for 1 hour!!! had crackers and cheese for dinner.....

don't know exactly why I'm sharing this???....

five on the way to work today ETA-- 3 more!

have a smooth monday, gang!

+1.6 elliptical miles on Sunday.
