    Hi Group!!!
    I fizzled out in December but back with a vengeance in JANUARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am tossing out a big goal of 100 miles for the month.

    I have my HM training plan taped to my desk, my bathroom mirror and refrigerator. I saw a photo of myself from over the weekend and it was horrific!! Time to get these legs moving, heart pumping and @$$ shrinking!!!!!

    I'd like to run 2019kms for the year; that's 1256 miles.

    Yes, that's doable!

    Even though I'm in the U.S. and the standard measurement is miles, I'm taking the "2019 km" approach, too, since I'm not joining a team this would at least be reachable for me.

    So far for Dec. I have 112.5 miles and there are still 6 more days to go!

    2019 miles running is not feasible for me, but I walk a lot and will count walks (separately, but I will add them together -- I'm keeping a spreadsheet too). I don't have a step counter right now, so this means actually keeping track of miles (or half or quarter miles) walked and not just incidental steps. (A full block here is 1/8 mile, which makes it reasonably easy to track, but I may just use Runkeeper too.)

    I'm going to plan for a half marathon in March and do a half marathon training plan to motivate myself for this first three months of the year.

    The weather through December so far has been unseasonably nice and perfect for running (I'm in Chicago), but of course I've blown off most of it due to all kinds of excuses, and need this challenge to help me get back on track with my training. Winter gets hard due to weather, so I am annoyed with myself for not appreciating how nice it's been for the most part.

    This is what I'm doing as well. I don't have a Fitbit or Garmin nor do I keep track of my daily steps via my phone. I'm tracking purposeful walks only via Strava and synced that to the RTE tracker. Just my personal method of choice. Others may do it differently and that's perfectly fine.

    If I've selected a team to join, when will I hear whether or not I've been admitted to the team? I'm new to all this.

    If you don't get accepted to a team, I will team up with you. There is no way I can reach 40 miles per week by myself but I would love to be part of a team.

    Love we have a group here!!

    This is year #3 for me. I hit 1185 in 2017 and I'm at 967 for this year. It's been a rough year but I'm ready to get back at it. I don't have a team right now so I'm hoping to get at least 100 miles a month and see where I end up!

    YOU are the reason I joined and started this group. You commented about RTY on my wall. I was hesitant to start but - why not?!?!?
