    Hello everyone!

    Sorry I've MIA this first week. I'm starting a new degree in a new university, in a new country, and so I've been very stressful this week. I also think i'll have to reduce my routine workout because I have so much to do at school :( ... but i'll see..

    I had planned to run 2 times 3.1miles and then walk and back to the university today (4 miles in total). I didn't had time to complete my first full 3.1 on Tuesday, so I ran 1 mile and walked 0.5 miles and then I ran my complete 3.1 miles yesterday (Thursday). I'll walk today to the university and I plan to have another walk this weekend.

    Alright - everyone ready for the long weekend?:drinker: It is suppose to be fairly decent around here so I should get plenty of walking/running/exercising in. I hope so, cause I have been slacking the last couple of nights - well, not really slacking, but things going on with the family. My daughter ran her first cross country meet yesterday. She was really nervous - I don't know why though. She has got running in her blood. Her time was about 18 minutes for 2.5 miles.

    My goals this weekend:
    I will not sit around and do nothing! I will get up each morning and go for a run and do 6p6w! I will allow myself to enjoy family picnics/bbq's but will eat in moderation!

    you can add two more miles to my total. :) when does our week begin/end? Is Friday the end of the week? I won't get any more walking in today, but I have a run planned for tomorrow and a 4 mile hike planned for Monday. :)

    :smile: Hey everyone! I am so sorry that I am such a late arrival. I hadn't "officially" heard from Maria when I asked to be a part of the challenge, but I did get started on Tuesday. :smile: Unfortunately I got sick on Wednesday and Thursday, but I will get caught up by Sunday. My goal is 10 miles a week of combination running and walking. I am trying to get in shape for a half marathon, ultimately a full one maybe in a year. Baby steps... I am so excited to be a part of this challenge and working with you ladies. I need someone to hold me accountable for my excercise.


    Monday - Walk 2.3 miles 50 minutes
    Tuesday - Run/Walk 2.5 miles 30 minutes

    Hello again!

    I'm originally from Montreal, Canada.

    And I walked, today, I walked! At least 4 miles going to the university and back, but also xxx miles visiting many art galleries.

    Have a good week end everyone!

    Happy Saturday, everyone!

    mariababe- You are doing great! Your long run sounded like a lot of fun. Any plans for a half marathon? ;)

    Leslye125- Welcome to our challenge! That's amazing that you wanna do a full marathon. I finally decided to be brave and do one next year, possibly in the spring to avoid summer training. You'll see how FAST the weight starts melting off once you start running. It's amazing!

    CharlotteintheUSA- Great catching up! Hope you're loving your new home and school.

    I walked 3 miles & ran 3 miles last night. This morning I walked 4 miles. I am not going to get any walking time in next week as my work schedule is going to be crazy, so I will do a bunch this weekend.
