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

    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 :smile: )

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

    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!
