  • OK, I can't resist a chance to brag about my progress in becoming a runner. I'm thinking of running in the Reykjavik Marathon in August, so I'm doing a pre-training training schedule to prepare for that. I've never been a natural (or fast) runner, but it's something I've come to enjoy over the past 6 months or so.

    My training schedule calls for 70 miles in January, but I think I'm going to replace 10 miles of that with cross-training because if I run 5 days a week I'm definitely going to get burnt out on it. So, 60 is the goal and today I did the first 4, slower than I'd hoped but it was COLD and windy out in gorgeous Central Park.

    4/60

    PS Helen - your blog is where I found out about 3FC, and I've been a regular reader of yours over the past couple years. You are a weight loss and running superstar!
  • Temps stayed below zero both yesterday and today. I was bummed to have to use the TM, but bit the bullet and got going. Nothing to be proud of 6 miles in almost 90 minutes, but I didn't stop!!

  • Eastcoastgirl, I am REALLY impressed that you ran today! I was frozen just walking from the subway to my apartment, which is only 2 blocks.

    I did 5.7 miles on the elliptical tonight - pretty happy with that distance. Usually I get bored and give up.

    6/50
  • It's made it to 6* above zero today, but the wind is blowing at 9 mph. Raw is what it is so, I did 4 on the TM. Today was a scheduled day off, but there isn't a whole lot anyone wants to do when it's this cold and I only had about 30 min of work today. Get ahead, you never know what tomorrow will bring!!

  • I'll do this!
    I'm just now getting over being sick, sick, sick. But I would like to try this.

    I'll go for 30 miles this month for January.

    My friends and I are doing our own weight loss challenge and I just lost $20 the other day. I want that money for myself next month!
  • Afternoon all!
