    Got two more miles in last night! Gonna be traveling today, so no walking. Learning2LoveMe, thank you for doing the totals! We have over 1000 miles that we've walked! Can't wait to start a new month and make my goal higher!!!

    Went hiking today with NeuroticVirgo and other friends - think we got in about 6 miles (is that right?). Definitely helped boost my mileage - now I'm pretty confident I'll reach my goal within the next week. =)

    5.2 miles today! :happy: I was motivated to go for a walk after I heard that my friend has lost over 50 lbs in a short time, just by walking every day, and eating better. His story is so motivating!

    Picked up another 5 today. Feel pretty good about it. Not only did I manage to run the whole thing between 11.5 - 12 minute miles, I also picked one of the hardest training trails I know. I actually managed to get up one of the hills that I've never been able to do before! Woo!

    I'm going to meet my goal for this month in the next few days. I'm excited about that too. :) The 10K is in three weeks, I feel ready, I'm sure I can do it and won't be last.

    As a side note, I ordered a runners GPS watch today. I ran with a friend today and I was just too jealous of hers. It really does tell you everything and I'm looking forward to having all kinds of charts and graphs to obsess over. I may even use some of the fancy stat software the company I work for makes to draw some really fancy graphs with all my data. Yeah, total data nerd. :)

    I tried looking at the Map again, and it just confused me, so I'm trusting the hubby (who to be honest is pretty good with maps and distances)...so I say 6 miles, he says he knows for sure 5, but then we had that strip from the ranger station to the parking lot which was pretty long.

    Its exciting, I think I might actually make my goal for the month! I remember starting Oct 1st thinking...there's no way...I'm dying after like 1 miles...but now I can get in a few miles without panting and worrying my hearts going to stop working. :laugh: YAY!

    runners GPS watch

    What is that? Like what does it do? (I know lame that I have no clue haha)

    So WHEN we continue (like how I phrased that..oh ya) next month, how many miles is everyone going to raise their goals? I'm thinking I'm going to try for 90...but I'm not sure yet.

    http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Forerunner-Receiver-Heart-Monitor/dp/B000CSWCQA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1288007972&sr=8-1

    It's pretty much a personal GPS. The coolest thing is it shows distance and MPH in real time which means I can push harder or pull back without guessing what my pace is. Then it takes all the info it learned about me and keeps logs and graphs so I can see my progress. Technology... so cool. :)

    I would be in for next month, but my milage would probably actually DECREASE. It's my plan after the 10K to spend some time focusing on pacing and try to work my way to an 11 minute mile for a December 11 5K which means shorter faster runs.

    I think for next month I'm going to up my goal by about 10 miles and see how that works out.

    Forest Gump pops into my head, after he'd been running across the US for a couple years, all shaggy and beat up :

    "I'm tired... I think I'll go home now."

    Just kidding. I'll be back at it again tonight. hehe! Go get yours!

    Bad day today. Didnt get out for my run early only to find the afternoon full of nasty storms and tornado warnings. I just didnt have the gumption to do a home workout on top of the diaster at step today. It's ok. I'll get back on schedule tomorrow and things will be better. :)
