  • oct. 4 3.1 miles My fastest 5K ever 37 min.
  • Wasn't able to log in yesterday but I did get my work out in.

    Oct. 3 - 9 miles
    Oct. 4 - 5.25 miles

    So, I'm at 18.55/50.

    It is such an incredibly beautiful autumn day here in New England that I think I am going to go pick a pumpkin now. I wonder how many miles there are in a pumpkin patch?
  • You guys have been busy!

    Congrats on the PB 5K crazy.

    Put in my 3 miles this morning. It's a beautiful Fall weekend here as well, but a busy one. It's Homecoming Weekend, which means a lot of activities for my kids. (Plus a sleepover for the girls tonight and a Pizza party for everyone tomorrow!) I can't wait to go back to work on Monday .
  • well today for me is what I like to call my cheat day.. but I haven't gone crazy eating!! I have actually pretty much behaved myself today. No gym today but we are gng to walk on the beach tonight. I also had my first NSV today. I finally fit into my size 20 jeans.. woohoo!! I nearly had a heartattack when I saw that I was able to button them!!
  • 6.5 + 3.5 = 10/50

    Congrats crazy and belinda!

    urock - It is such a perfect fall day here, isn't it? And apparently we live in the same place! Go Sox!
  • I got a late start this month because of my hip pain. I had my hip injected on Wednesday for the third, and I hope, last time. When I have had the joint injected before, I have not had much pain afterwards, but wouldn't you know it, my leg was killing me on Thursday and Friday, so I did not get my miles in. I got some new bike shoes with thingies that attach them to the special pedals. They are NOT called "clips" I learned that much, but I don't remember what they are called.... Anyway, I did three miles with my new pedals and am off to seach for advice on using the new pedals since I am not sure how they are supposed to work exactly. There is some sort of a stroke you do with your foot/leg with these pedals that you don't do with regular pedals, and I don't seem to have the technique yet, but it's fun to have a couple of new toys to play with. So I got three miles done today, and I should get that many in again tomorrow if all goes well.
  • oct. 5 3.10
  • 10/5 +3.5 = 14.5 miles

    I've been adding more jogging to my usual routine these last few days and boy, did I feel it this morning! I'm hoping that once I drop some more weight, it will be a bit easier on my hips and knees. I think I'm going to change up my routine for now - go back to just walking @ at pretty fast pace (without the jogging) and add some miles on my bike to amp up my cardio. I want to put in a worthwhile workout, but I still need to be able to get out of bed the next morning!

    Hope everyone's having a good weekend!
  • 10/5: 1.75 treadmill is still having issues if I have enough get up and go I'll do more later after DH attempts to fix it or perhaps a walk away the pounds session.
  • I will start this challenge today .

    My goals are 60 miles of running and 70 miles of bike riding .

    And some dancing in between!
  • 10 + 3.5 = 13.5/50 miles
  • still chugging along
    on Friday I did 3.5, even tried .75 rowing. Thats not that much fun. Sunday I biked 8. So now I'm up to 2.5 + 3.5 + 8 = 14. I'm excited to get on with this. Although I'm sort of thinking the biking is cheating. Its way easier than running or rowing. But still happy to put in the miles.
  • Hiya Ladies, 1 mile walking in for me today! I didn't get any done yesterday due to a wedding, but I had a great time with my friends! Wearing heels all day killed my legs though!
  • Yesterday was my off day so nothing there.
    Oct. 6: 18.55 + 9.25 = 27.8/50

    scottluther-I have the same issue. It kills me to run 3 miles but I can bike 10+ without dying after I am done. Doing it is what's important!

    jahjah1223-Wow! Those are some big goals. Good for you!


    These are for everybody else that is movin' to 50!!!
