    Hello, everyone! I'm joining late because I'm a competitive person and in the past these challenges kept me in line. I haven't lost weight (and, to make matters worse, I've gained) since the last one...so I'm back.

    3/2 did my "long" run for the week - 8 miles in under 1hour 20 minutes - YEAH!
    3/3 3 mile recovery run at a good pace - just under 10 minute mile. :)
    3/4 3 mile run
    3/5 3 mile run in the rain at 35 degrees - brr!
    3/6, 3/7, 3/8 total of 9 miles (3 per day)
    3/9/13 - long run today 9 miles
    3/15 - have another 18 miles.
    3/16 - 10 mile training run today

    decided I would like 110 miles in March -have 66 done, 44 to go


    Good job everyone! We are half way there.

    Wow! That's really great! Wish I could run that we'll, but I have trouble breathing properly. When I ask people for tips they just tell me to get into a breathing rhythm. I always say that I do have a rhythm: Inhale, gasp, choke, exhale.

    Help?

    Excited to have made it through Vegas without a weight gain! I knew I wouldn't be losing, but maintaining feels nice, considering what I ate (and drank!). Really want to get the next six pounds off by Easter though!

    I'm a few days behind on reporting, its just been busy but I weighed this past Friday. I haven't lost much but none of my work pants fit me in the waist anymore so I count that as a victory as well. I hope to start seeing it on the scale VERY soon.
