Challenge yourself to get up & get moving!! Post your goal & your results here. Try to achieve a 15mi/week minimum. Feel free to go above & beyond! If you have to start with less, so be it!
Help yourself stay accountable & Encourage each other!
"Run when you can. Walk when you must. Crawl if you have to. Just never give up." Dean Karnazes, the Ultramarathon Man
For the folks returning you know that the 15 miles is not the main goal. The main goal is just to get up and get moving, if you don't meet it that's fine and you surpass it, well that just freaking rocks.
For newcomers the preferred method of posting miles would be:
Post the day, what you did that day for miles (run, walk, hike, bike, elliptical - all miles count!) - posted daily or when the miles occur...
Week 1: (Apr 1-9)
Week 2: (Apr10-16)
Week 2: (Apr 17-23)
Week 4: (Apr 24-30)
Sun:
Mon:
Tue:
Wed:
Thu:
Fri:
Sat:
WTD: (Total- Miles, any miles - total for the week so far)
MTD: (Total- Miles, any miles - for the month so far)
As always this is not set in stone, if you post every other day or whatever fits into your schedule, but please try to stay close to the above format.
If you'd like to include photos of your adventures (PLEASE do!), please edit the size so the image is no more than 300px tall or wide, THANKS!
For those folks that don't do miles:

You've been busy!
I had three days off last week. My little boy had strep AND flu both and was rather miserable. I had a touch of flu myself but not near as bad as his. On Sunday he did his first color run with his friend so I took pictures of them.
Today I did 6.46. It was a beautiful sunshiney day. I absolutely LOVE spring.
So a question for you two bikers. I did some cycling a couple summers ago for a triathlon but wound up with hip bursitis so bad I could hardly walk. Any advice on avoiding this happening again? I'd really like to get my bike back out this summer.0 -

DANG girl! You need to keep your family in a bubble & say "down with the sickness!" Sure would love to see your pic.. a color run.. how fun for him!
I've never had bursitis, so no answer for you there... sorry.0 -

got in a few more miles after work last night - legs felt great after a 2day break! plan to join a Women's Racing Cycling Paceline Clinic (not that I plan to ever race in cycling) after work today - will do laps around the DT Airport. Should be informative

Yes! We need a bubble! Only 16 days of school until summer and hopefully a break from all this illness.
How was the clinic?

WRA Paceline Clinic - was very intimidated at first with the thought of riding sooo close to so many other bikes, but did 2 laps with the full group of double line pace lining ... then broke up into smaller groups (practiced staggered paceline - changing the stagger according to which way the wind was hitting us - we did laps around the airport so our direction kept changing).. enjoyed the smaller group more (less stressful), but drafting with the larger group meant so much less wind. Couldn't believe my speed (when I dared to look) with such little effort (would have sworn I was riding slower than usual, but quite the opposite!)

39 mi for April. We have had some weird weather. One day get ready for ride pouring down rain or to windy, Today actually quite nice.
Signed up for a local charity of 31 miles coming up 5/14. This is a fitness activity for the community. Looking forward to event!1 -
I finished April with 125.66 miles. I was consistent again with getting out and managed a slight bump in miles for the month, even with being sick.1
