    Alexa,

    Thanks for doing this. I, like Maria, will be starting slow as I am in a 17k training with a trainer and he's forcing me to go slow and cross train, but, when this is done I will be playing catch up.

    1/2/12 - 3.2 Miles
    1/3/12 - 3.1 miles
    1/5/12 - 4 miles
    1/7/12 - 5 miles
    1/10/12 - 4.1 miles

    Jeanne (really_me) told me about this challenge. I'd really love to join if I can.

    My name is Alice, I'm 42 and live in Pasadena, CA. I actually work in Santa Monica, so it's funny to see that city listed as the first stop!

    I'm new into running as I'm doing my first half Marathon - the Tinkerbell Half Marathon at Disneyland - later this month. I gotta admit I've been bitten by the running bug. I've also made a 2012 goal to run in one race each month (5k, 10k, or HM). Hopefully, someday, I'll get the nerve to attempt a FULL marathon.

    Well, I hope I can join. Anybody feel free to add me as a friend. I'm active on MFP and love to give/get support.

    If I'm allowed in, here are my stats:

    1/9: 4 miles
    1/10: 5 miles

    (I'm doing some major miles this week and next and then I'll be tapering a bit the week of the race)

    Question: should I be checking in here daily? weekly?

    I keep track of my own miles, so it's no problem.

    Hi! I'm just starting to get back in shape, so my mileage is very low, and I walk right now instead of running. I'm in Maria's challenge and i'm keeping track of my (pathetic) mileage for that one. :tongue: May I join or is it too late? This is funny, because I live in Upland, Ca, right next to the I-10 (as in I look out my front window and there it is across the street.) My city is in between Santa Monica and Palm Springs so I guess I can "wave" at you all as you walk/run past! :laugh:

    You can check in as often or as little as you would like, but at least once a week is helpful. I try to update the list as often as I can though, so the more often you check in, the more correct the rankings will be.

    Really_me - Awesome job!

    Thank you. I owe a bunch of it to my dog, who requires a good amount of walking to stay at a healthy weight. I swore to the vet he wouldn't gain this winter like he usually does!

    This challenge is showing me that I need to do more cross-training and I need to think about that... Thanks, again for organizing it!
