    Been running and walking but not ticking so catching up. This is a combo of running/walking miles, but my goal is to cover 100 running

    It's been a long time since I have posted. I'll get my ticker working in a sec

    Im starting this one mid way through july, so im going to make my goal an easy one :D
    36 Running miles is my goal!

    Luckily i've managed to keep track of my miles on my nike+ running app

    I'd cover walking miles way too easily as im a postwoman, so its all running!

    Going well considering we've had two weeks of foul weather - rain and gale-force winds!

    So far:

    7/3 - 3.1 miles
    7/4 - failed attempt to run - tweaked ankle
    7/6 - ankle feels WAAAY better, 3.9 miles (and hit the beach too - apparently my dog looks like a polar bear... LOL!)
    7/8 - 3.5 Miles
    7/10 - 2.0 miles - short run due to strong possibility of thunderstorms.
    7/12 - 4.0 miles

    More than halfway there! Maybe next month I'll up the mileage a little.

    Response:
    I started with walking 5 miles a day at a brisk pace then added running using a modified version of C25K. Once I was able to run all 3.1 miles, I increased my distance by .5 of a mile each run every week. (3.5 miles for a week, then 4.0 miles the next week, usually 3-4 times a week.) I can now run as far as 10 miles without stopping. A good rule of thumb is in order to prevent injuries, you should not increase your weekly mileage by more than 10% each week. Once you build up to 1 mile, I would increase by .1 of a mile and see how that goes. Listen to your body. It will tell you if you can handle a larger distance increase. Remember to run slow also. They say if you think you are running slow, run slower. Speed will come in time.
