November Challenge for Beginners- 50 miles

YAY its back, i saw another thread like this but i think you were supposed to keep track of your miles which im rubbish at.

So today 3 down, 47 to go! I wanna make it this month as was a few short last month

Sorry for posting twice, I saw other people with the tickers and I wanted one too!

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??

Hi I am RaNae and I weigh 343 lbs walking alot at this point hurts alot but I am riding a bike - outside- no coasting I keep peddling- can I join in and count my miles on my bike?
Thanks RaNae
:drinker: that water

oh I found a cycling thread I am gonna go over there but look forward to the day I can run- it's been years and years lol but it WILL happen again

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

Where do you guys get the super cool tickers? I want one!

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.

I would like to join. Just got a walking buddy yesterday.
