    I want in too. Sounds like a great motivator to push me a little more! I've run 3,4 and 3 and I have a 6 mile run to do today. Add me as a friend too!

    Put me down for 4.17 for today. That's long for me. I've only been running since August or so.

    I should change my goal to 75 for the month tho. 100 was a stretch but I'm gonna travel and have to make arrangeetc for my mom's funeral and final details. Plus kids and their needs. So 75 is a better goal I can reach for and still do my life.

    I just looked on micoach and learned that today was my farthest (4.17 miles) and earlier this weeks was my fastest training mile 12:11. I realize these are neither fast nor far, but I'm new, so I'm gonna take it. I'll do a 5K trail run next weekend so I'll see what I do when I'm racing and not training. It won't be great, but I'd love to be under 12:00 as an average. It is through the woods and not on a street though.

    is 50 miles too unworthy of a goal? i've only been running for 3 months, so i'm pretty much a noob!

    that is not unworthy at all - that is the milage I do on the road - I do 50 miles road and 50 miles cross training (: do what works best for you - and add a ticker - then it is easier for me to keep track of you :-D
