    Noticed a few motivational quotes being posted, so couldn't resist adding:

    Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting - George Orwell

    @ Ceci-O-K - you made me cry with that story about your grandmother. Way to stay strong.

    I was in tears when I crossed the finish line! Tears of joy (or was it exhaustion?)!

    +16.02 on the bicycle and 3.91 running/ walking

    And again! Starting to feel like I can do this! It's a little intimidating seeing all the higher goals around me, but I have to remember that I'm competing with ME, not you. :smile:

    Another 3 miles this morning (speed interval on the dreadmill before weight lifting - upper body).
    Even though it was upper body, my thighs were on fire!!!!

    I think I regret telling my trainer that I needed goals way out of my comfort zone
    to stay motivated..... Naaaa...... Even though I'm whining a bit about it, I love it, and I
    know that I'll push to crash those goals!

    I don't know how to classify what happened at the gym this morning (funny note, NSV, weird note) : anyway, during my training this morning with my coach, there was a woman there that, I realized after, was keeping an eye on what I was doing. When we were done with the upper body training, and on our way to the fantastic dreadmill :grumble: , she stopped me and asked me if I was training for an Iron Man or something... :indifferent:
    I didn't know if I should laugh (because there's NO WAY :noway: that I would participate in an Iron Man challenge) or I should feel flattered that she thought that I was in good enough shape to participate... :blushing: I finally told her that I had a half in a few weeks (but she didn't seem convinced), and I told her that I would also participate in a Spartan Race in May... 2014 (for the second time). I think that made more sense for her then. :tongue:

    Being sore = Effective workout

    Here's my updated ticker for today.

    That .01 mile would have driven me crazy and I would have finished it. LOL.

    Everyone is different and this isn't a competition, although I'm competitive, even for this. I'm sure that the point of this challenge is just to get ppl active, so just by participating, you've successfully completed the challenge. :smile:


    speedy, she saw how hard you were working. That's a good thing. :smile:

    So I know that I have been MIA lately but this month has not started off on the right foot! But I am back and on track to hopefully third times a charm smash my goal of 70 miles this month!

    Monday: I did a fun run at the gym for 40 minutes and got in 3.14 miles!

    Tuesday: I hit the gym from cross training day and was able to get in 1.48 miles on the Arc (30 minutes) and 3.78 miles on the stationary bike (15 minutes).

    Today is another fun run at the gym followed by an hour long Zumba class!!

    Happy Hump Day everyone!

    I know I'm a bit late but this looks FUN and MOTIVATING! Can I still join? I'll shoot for 100 miles. That may be too ambitious but I'll learn by trial and error : )

    You have 23 days (six are weekend days) to get 100 miles in and your ticker has a bike on it, so I'm assuming you're a biker. It's about 4 miles a day. Piece of cake. You can always start with a lower goal if you want to. Welcome. :flowerforyou:

    :smile: Late getting to my walk today but got in 2.46 for the day now 17.88/ goal 80. It's not flat here where I live in NH so the hills are good for the burn. Will be able to do more distance next week when I get down to Florida for a visit. Giving up foliage and hills for palm trees and beach, not a bad trade.
    @JENNYMCWB - Florida sounds heavenly.....palm trees....beach....umbrella drink....Ahhhhhhhhh *floating off to my happy place* :smile:

    @DCMAT - Great quote! And you are really burning up the miles as always! Still very impressed!

    @TEAMAMELIA - You are on fire too! Way to go!

    @LIESEVANLINGEN - Exactly! You are back in the GREEN so you're on track! Just keep focused on your own finish line. You've GOT THIS!

    @SPEEDYF - That's an awesome story!!! I bet you looked FIERCE while you were working out! You have no idea how many people you probably inspire with your workouts. Way to set such a great example. :flowerforyou:

    @JENNDESJARLAI - Ease yourself into this and don't overdo it too quickly and get injured. Try to keep doing a little and build up as you get stronger and your body adapts. The 'rule' I've always read in Runner's World magazine is never to increase your weekly mileage total by more than 10% over the previous week. And if you're new to it, doing Run/Walk intervals is an excellent method to slowly build strength and endurance without shocking your body and making it say "Holy cr@p! What's going on? Are they trying to kill me???" :noway::bigsmile: Either devise your own Run/Walk schedule based on your current fitness level or you can check out the great "Couch-to-5K" program (www.c25k.com). There are also phone apps to help you plan and perform your workouts if you're interested. I personally use Endomondo on my Android phone and LOVE that it easily lets me create my own personal custom Interval plans! It beeps at me and tells me, for example "5 minutes, Medium intensity" for my run intervals and "1 minute, Low intensity" for the walking intervals. I have it set up to last up to 60 minutes so I can use it for any distance or time goal less than that. I turn my music on and just go and listen for the audio cues to change my speed. Works outdoors with the GPS and I also use it indoors on the treadmill. I just have to manually enter the distance afterward.

    @STEFANIEJO13POINT1GOAL - Welcome back and great couple of days working on getting caught up!!

    @CHERIE0622 - Welcome and of course you can join! Got you added and I'll shoot you some info.

    @JULIEANN72 - Running in the rain can* actually be enjoyable if you have any warning and can dress appropriately. A baseball cap is great to keep it out of your face and a good, light water-resistant windbreaker is all you need. I love to run in the rain as long as it isn't too cold too. I also love running when it's -15F and snowing as long as it isn't too windy. But then not everyone is as crazy as I am. :bigsmile:

    As a group, we've already moved 4,532 miles this month!!!
