    So the challenge is 50 miles in the month of November, right? I just had ankle surgery so walking, jogging and running are pretty much non existent. However, I'm just breaking into the eliptical at the gym. Do I qualify for the challenge? Where do we track our miles??

    Yes you qualify! Just return to this thread and update as often as you'd like.

    You put your left foot in front of your right foot, then your right foot in front of your left foot, just keep repeating.

    I'm in!

    Having not run since being chased by a householder when I went hedge hopping as a 16 year old (30 years ago) I have recently started running with the help of Runkeeper and a C25K training regime ... went for a 4 mile (YES FOUR MILE) run this afternoon in 55 mins (not fast but at 103 kg not slow either!) and all that on 30 kcals of Miso soup for lunch (I can't run on a full stomach) ... I managed to lose 8kg last month ... only another 13 kg to go for my target of 90kg by Christmas ...

    So far November - 4.17 miles @ 4.5 mph - http://bit.ly/WfVfmO

    Feel free to FR ... I need all the support I can get :-)

    I use a Nike+ sensor and Lunnarglide shoes. It keeps me motivated. I recommend it/them highly.
    Oh yes, the one thing I learned is to use correct form or you may injure yourself.
    1. Eat an orange or banana about 1 hour before beginning your run.
    2, Warm up by walking briskly.
    3. Hit on ball of foot or toes.
    4. Keep back straight, but shoulders loose.
    5, Lean slightly forward and pump arms...this will propel you forward.
    6. Look forward.
    7.. B.r.e.a.t.h.e....get oxygen to your muscles.
    and most importantly...DO NOT buy shoes because they are "cute." Buy shoes that fit your feet. Find out if you are neutral, overpronator, or underpronator.
