HAPPY NEW YEAR!
If anyone else is attempting or has completed the C25K program, please message me if you would like to be friends and share experiences with me. Thanks!
There is a c25k group. You will find support there. I was a new runner a couple of years ago. I swear by c25k! Have fun!0 -
I'm in for 100 miles this month. I may have to adjust that up or down depending on what the orthopedist says next week.0

Hello everyone
100 miles for me0 -
Put me down for 130 miles please. The weather here has been very wet. If I find i can get out in it I will up my goal, but we haven't had the worst of the weather yet.
Happy new year to everyone and again a big big thank you to all those who give their time to keeping this going. It is very mucjh appreciated and you are doing so much for people's health. I would not have done the miles I did last month without MYAC to push me along. I didn't want to lose my months streak.0 -

^^^^^ QFT - I couldn't have put it better myself.
I'm going to stick with 125 m - it was a struggle because of the weather. I had to work hard and be devious to get them - but challenge is good for me.

Happy New year all and big thank you to all who keep this thread going year after year.
Please add me for another 50 miles in January.0 -
Going to make a realistic goal to start 2016 with 50 miles as I am not sure what winter in the country will be like for safe running or travel to the track!
Happy New Year Everyone!!0 -

Wishing you all the best in your new goal. You might want to look into Jeff Galloway and his run walk program. It also is a good program that would te in nicely with your goals. I still use it in a modified way to get me through big mileage. There are a number of runners on here that are always willing to share helpful tips.
@wonstepatatime - I still use Galloway and I'm about to run my 8th marathon. It is a wonderful way for people who are older (like me) or new to running (like you) to be able to achieve their goals. My advice to you as you go through c25k is that getting started is the hardest part. I found it much harder going from 0 to 3 miles than going from 3 to 26. So stick with it. If you are persistent it will get easier. Good luck! Always love welcoming a new runner to the club.
@clepant - yes, I'm still planning to do Disney Dopey next week - 5k, 10k, half, and full marathon in 4 days. It won't be pretty but I think I will finish. It has been so blasted hot here - high 80s for weeks -- that I've barely trained at all. Thankfully it's only supposed to be in the 70s for the races. This will be my 3rd time doing the Dopey Challenge.0 -
