I'm going to try and hit 40 miles! I'm new to running. I love it, I've been running at least a mile every day. I'm just starting out though and I'd like to get up to 5 miles a day by January. I'm training for the Army and I need to lose weight to join anyways (about 15 lbs) so I'm excited to see how far I can get and how far everyone else gets!5

@k80flec A Stalker - Sounds like a perfect fit for this group. Welcome to the Gang.I'm new to the group, although I've been stalking the thread for about 6 weeks!
@Marissaxzxzxz I envy your "lovely bright morning" We have had a month of Dull and Dreary - or as my neighbor who has Scottish roots would say A lovely day in Scotland.
@francescacoscia16 In this group nothing is OT. Every once in a while TF seems to go into overload and does not do the immediate update - yet when I go back to it for my next entry it will show the correct distance value.
@Christinah920 Welcome to the challenge!

November goal: 75 miles
11/1: 3 miles (m)
My Total/November: 3 miles
Mike's Total: 3 miles
At the end of October, my daily run was around 2 - 2.5 miles. I'd like to have that up to at least 3 for this month. Started out well today with a 3 mile run. Mike has been with me for 4 days in a row now. I am going to start logging his runs for him. Overall it was a good run. My left leg is still feeling a bit tight and sore, but less so than yesterday.
Have a great day everyone!2 -

Hi Erik,
Thanks for your message. If you're accustomed to taking a day off from training every week, go with the Level 1 marathon plan. It would entail a reduction in volume in the early weeks, though. If you feel comfortable training seven days a week and resting only once every 21 days, go for the Level 2 plan. Good luck!
pretty standard type of reply, but it's cool having a known person tell you good luck.
That is pretty cool.
Not related to running, but authors: I met an author at a NYE thing last year (political). There were hundreds of people and it was about 120-130 miles from where I live, but I still knew a lot of people there. Someone I knew introduced me to an author, and I hung out with him, his wife, and a small group of people for awhile... well after most others had left and staff was cleaning up and putting stuff away. His book is about the politician holding the event (the book sold a lot of copies during the primaries) and he even Tweeted a photo of me (which has a lot of followers) that night.2 -

I created my ticker, but when I go back and try to update it, adding my current cumulative value, it just doesn't register and my little runner girl stays on the "0" value
@francescacoscia16 The ticker will catch up. Mine is always the previous mileage for about an hour and then it updates to the correct total. It's a recent glitch in the last 2 weeks or so. Just post it and it'll fix itself

My first run of November won't come until this evening. I have a lot else going on so it may just be 3 miles. But we'll see.

I am not a runner. I hate it. But I really want to love running and maybe this will help!
I'm going to set my goal at 50 miles. And I want to try to actually RUN at least 20 of them.3 -
I run regularly but I think joining a challenge will give me a little more push.3

Welcome to all the new people and returning folks! I see lots of great starts to the month!
@mnlittlefinn thanks for the encouragement, I really appreciate it!
I'm in ticker hell today for some reason, it wouldn't let me update the picture on my ticker though I tried about 10 times, no worries I'll play with it later.

You add the img tags around it like this:
[.img]https://tickers.tickerfactory.com/ezt/t/ws6FHx2/exercise.png [./img]
but remove the dots to get this....

Don't use that link - use the link that ends in .png
Then add MFP's img tags. It will look something like this (without spaces, though):

@7lenny7 I'm responding to what you said in the October thread here. I'm adding a bunch more squats, lunges, etc... to my working out, specifically because my quads always seem to get trashed.0

@AnnyisOK You can put it at the bottom of your post. :-) I know, smart aleck.
Did you read the instructions in my original post on the first page carefully?
You want to chose the image that ends in .png from your ticker entry. Then copy and paste it here with the image tags surrounding it. Just like the example I used for mikaylaellendysart above...mikaylaellendysart wrote: »mikaylaellendysart wrote: »how do you add your ticker?

Ohhhhh! I could never figure that one out. I just only know how to post in the forums. I didn't think there was a way, but now I see people posting pictures on their newsfeeds. But in your actual profile, I don't think MFP allows for that.
