If there is still room add me for the 100 mile goal!!

LaurianRocks

Wow, 50 miles is almost 81k. I don't think I can do that, I'll try again next month.

That's less than 2 miles a day!

How is everyone tracking thier miles?

I recently bought a timex run trainer GPS watch but am still figuring it out. Does anyone else have the same watch? Any issues with accuracy? Can I trust it?

Thanks

Not familiar with the Timex but I have been using Garmin gps watches for years, and they are great! Their accuracy isn't 100% but it is good enough for the day-to-day purposes. Note that if you are running under heavy tree cover and/or winding trails, it will generally be less accurate. Some people also have troubles when they run downtown in big cities (all the tall buildings).

Count me in. I am aiming for 50 miles on foot in the month of July. There is still some walking intermixed with my running as I am still working on going the 5k distance. I just know this will help me stay motivated and on target with my running goal of running 5k straight in 45min by September!!!

I think it is OK - but try to just reprot only the running mileage here, since we are a running group )

GL training for the 5K you can do it!!!

I put in my first 4 miles on the treadmill this morning. Now I just have to keep it up for the rest of the month! Happy august everyone.:l

ChasingStarlight

Today is my cross training day (taekwondo and bootcamp). I'm disappointed I can't start off the month with some runs on the board! Ah well, tomorrow is a new day. I have to admit, I may have miscalculated the km to miles conversion, so getting 85 miles on top of my other exercise will be a challenge, but I am determined to get there.

Good luck this month everyone! Good work Jamifaith!

DaveC29

I'm in again this month (Please and Thank You!)... Put me down for 200 this month!

elfpearl

I would like to join! I haven't been keeping track of my mileage other than in my exercise diary, but I average about 15-20 miles a week, so I think I can definitely meed the 50 mile a month minimum! Can you put me down for a goal of 60 miles for August?

redredy9

I got in 5.5 tonight and have another 4.3 scheduled for tomorrow morning! I am ready to get this started! Whoo hoo!

Good luck and good running everybody!

ken1994

I got rained out this morning! Boo. Torrential down pour and I was not prepared. No hat = rain in my eyes!

Will try to get my miles in this evening.

I live in the NE. Its summer. I may have to suck it up and get a gym membership just to get my miles in while in training for my (first!) marathon.

L00py_T0ucan
