  • Okay I got in 2 miles on the elliptical tonight!
  • I'd like to join too, if that's ok. I just put up my ticker, and now I'm going for a run.

    Well done to all of you, and this is just what I need to get me back on track (I've been a slack little chicky over xmas/ny). So here we go...

    See you when I get back!
  • Quote: I think Garmin issue has just been resolved (I'm a dolt at times ). However if you do know how to just turn off the auto multisport that would be cool to know!
    No, I dont think there is a way to turn it off.
  • Skied on the first, shopped for 6 hours on the second--does that count? Iasked my husband how to measure the track around the pasture & he said each fencepost is 7 feet apart--I'll have a lot of counting to do!
  • Ok I am in for 600. I'm starting tomorrow Err make that today technically!
  • Woooo-hooooo :banana: got up and ran 4.5 miles in 24 degree weather with a pretty strong wind at 6am. I have to say that I think I need to increase my complex carb intake because I am having a hard time doing longer distances and I had to walk once during my run (which 4.5 is NOT far for me). Tomorrow is my day off from running since I go to church so I will do free weights at home, oh, and I bought a jump rope at Walmart yesterday. I heard jump-roping is one of the best cardio exercises.
  • Wow Kim, 4.5 miles in 24 degree weather at 6 a.m.! That's amazing.

    I've been up for 2 hours, and I have not stepped foot on the treadmill. Procrastination is very dangerous, I can't mess around, so I'm getting on the [evil ] treadmill as soon as I hit "submit reply".

    I'm also making a commitment for tomorrow to get on the treadmill the MINUTE I get out of bed.

    Thanks for helping me to stick to it! Have a great weekend.
  • Oh my legs ache! I've done 10 miles so far - will change my ticker this weekend. I have a goal of doing 6 miles today on the treadmill. Walking in 10 degree weather in Michigan not fun for me (ha! ha!)
  • Question: does it have to be strictly running/walking or can the mileage include biking as well?

    I wouldn't think it would matter. The point is just to get your body moving, right?
  • Ennay - Thanks so much for looking for me. I just cleaned out my history and think I can remember to reset it going forward.

    I did a run 2.xx this AM, I'll be walking later on with the dogs so I'll get my totals then. Good job ladies!

    I agree with thinpossible. Biking, skiing, elliptical.....all of those are fine. It's a fun way to track mileage with a supportive group.

    Welcome everyone!!! Make sure you all are stretching and hydrating!!
  • 5 more for me this morning, the weather has been very nice the past two days.
  • Yikes, I'm a few days late getting in on this post. Hope I can still join in. I was doing really well losing, then hit a plateau and was ready to give up. I think this is just the thread I need to motivate me to bust through this...
    I'm in for 500 and hopefully more.
