Irked I could not get my long run in this weekend because my mileage is so low, but with a recovery week and an injury week I'm just going to have to take this one on the chin. I'll still hit 50 this month but I really thought I'd be closer to 80!

Bah, being sick for a week threw me off, I didn't quite make it! But ok, from 1/10 - 1/31 I got 43 miles in, and I've already joined the challenge for February!

How do you track your miles?

I use the free android CardioTrainer app on my phone to record my walks, and the app gives you a website link where you can go view your track history and download the results, which you can open in Excel or any other spreadsheet program. I do other stuff with it beyond Excel but that alone is a handy way to keep track of your miles.

If you don't have a device or smartphone to track your walks with, you can use MapMyWalk.com or MapMyRun.com (and your watch) to create your routes and keep track of your history, if you don't use a treadmill. I just use it to map routes beforehand but the other features look handy.

February challenge here we come.

Mr_Excitement

My god, at first I thought this thread was encouraging the "beginners" to do a 50 mile run and I thought, "holy crap am I ever in the wrong place"'. lol

Final run for January. For me a record amount of miles in a month. Really enjoyed it.
