    I'm in for 30 miles. Lower goal this month because for half the month I'll be away from home and I hope to transition off the treadmill. On my off running days I strength train and once the weather warms up I'll strength train/cycle.

    I'm going to double my last month's mileage (joined late!) so aim to run 50 miles. I want to be able to run a half marathon by May, though haven't entered one. Just want to up my mileage as that seems to be the only thing that will shift weight from my hefty thighs ;)

    I would do this if I had a treadmill at home. I have to go to the gym of a hotel most days and don't want to seem suspicious going in too often. The gym I have a membership at is an hour from my home so I have to take the train there and can only go once a week.

    Can you run outside in a park or greenway or some route that has the milage marked off or predetermined?

    I use an app on my phone called runtastic. The app uses the gps on my phone so as I am running, it tells me how far and how fast I ran. That is how I normally keep track of my milage. There are other apps that you can download onto your phone that do the same thing. I just happened to use runtastic. But endomondo, mapmyrun, runkeeper... they all do pretty much the same thing, then you won't need a treadmill.

    the second image tag needs a forward slash like this >> / not the back slash like you have.
    And you are missing the [ img] that goes just before the .png link

    Congrats on your 100 mile goal - sounds like you are well on your way. As far as the ticker, use a FORWARD SLASH rather than a Back Slash on your closing img argument... ''

    Hello! I can always use an extra layer of accountability! I used to run 3 miles/day several days a week, job change killed that. I'm now aiming to run 2-3 days a week mixing it up with an abs dvd that I like, but is a bit too much to do every day of the week. So....that being said, I'm aiming for a goal of 25 miles this month. I'd love to do 30...who knows? Nice to meet you!
