I'm off to help a friend pack up her house today, so no miles for me, but I look forward to seeing what you can do!

    Happy Thursday!! I think I'm just going to update on this thread this week, since there's only a handful of us this time around. Do keep in mind that ANY sort of mile is acceptable this week, be it biking, walking, or my new favorite, elliptical.
    So for today's update, as of noon here, this is what we've got:

    Ezak86 - 11 miles
    Lazyspice - 9.6 miles
    Alise_lmx - 5 miles
    Drowndjellyfish - 4 miles
    Polar135 - 3.93 miles
    PlunderBunneh - 10.5 this morning, but I got in another 7 between the elliptical and a stationary bike, so I'm at 17.5.

    Way to go all!! Keep pushing for those miles :)

    (edit because I don't know what day of the week it is lols)

    Another 1.5 miles thursday before my class. I'm hopefully going to go to spin class today, but those bikes don't have the mileage. Have to guess! Keep moving!

    Only 1.7 miles today - I had planned a longer walk but we had heavy rain most of the day. 6.5 to go :smile:

    Just did W2D6 (yeah...had to repeat it) of C25K, so that's 1.5 miles for me. I'm going to try to round out my 20 miles this evening, probably just do some running again. I FINALLY figured out how to breath while I run! Now my running isn't limited to how long I can hold my breath, I'm so excited!

    I'm in for 25 - I'll be reunited with my beloved treadmill on Sunday so it will be much easier to monitor my exercise :wink:
