    Just so I can clarify real quick, is this total miles done (to include just day to day walking) or is it specifically exercise miles (bike, treadmill, elliptical, etc)?

    Yesterday I ran 4.5 miles at 6.7 (9 min miles), I usually run 10 min. but I decided to step it up and it was awesome! I also did the elliptical but I'm only going to count running miles. Today I plan to do 5 miles. I'm so happy to have this group! This is awesome-thanks T!!!:love:

    I walk to work daily, average of 3km to-and-fro... that's about 1.86 miles.

    Intending to check out a new trail in a park tomorrow, so guess that will add another 3-4km :smile:

    Well first you need to click on Tools and make one. Then click back on Community followed by Settings where it says "Home, Recent Posts, My Topics, Settings and Search" and should be the only option there to make it appear on your forums posts.

    Oh and I'm apparently off to a slow start thanks to my knees which are killing me. I did 2.75 miles on Friday the 2nd.

    2.11 miles in my spin class tonight. Although I'm not entirely sure how accurate that is since it's a spin class and therefore there's no distance tracker on the bike but that's what the Nike+ pedometer function of my iPod nano told me I did so that's what I'm sticking with.

    I can give you a few tips, but believe me I'm no expert, first and foremost go and get fitted for the right shoes for you feet! I kept getting shin splints before I went to Fleet Feet and after I got shoes (which has been at least 6 months), I haven't had them since! Good shoes are so important!! Also, stay hydrated-also very important; if you are running a long race fuel up along the way, its important to keep your blood sugar at an even level, there are gels, shot blocks, I heard even jelly beans do the trick. And finally, start out slow, don't go all out at the beginning or you won't have the energy to finish. I will probably have more tips after running the actual race!
    Hope this helps!
