    Good morning :smile:

    Thank you BrunetteWife for staring this challenge..:flowerforyou: I hit my 100 mile mark yesterday, using my pedometer. It made me realize how much I really do walk .. :smile: It's the little things (strides) that you choose to do that makes the HUGE difference, to help get you closer to your goals!


    :drinker: Cheers your ALL doing wonderful! :drinker:

    :drinker: WTG Callie!!!! Congrats!! :drinker: I'm glad to see a completion!!! I've amped mine to 200, so far so good.
    I do start week6 of Couch to 5k this week and that means longer jogging is in my near future :noway: I've NEVER been a runner (just ask my p.e. teacher in grade school, didn't have to in highschool, thank goodness!)

    Keep up the great work all. Make sure you stretch, drink plenty of water, and rest up too!!! "see ya around the block" :heart: Bru

    Well, my laptop battery charger died on me, so I am doing everything by phone for now. Just thought i'd give a heads up because my ticker won't be moving and I may not be able to track my miles anyway til I get a charger.

    I hope you all are doing ok and aren't in too much heat. Remember to pace yourself,drink water (somedays you'll drink much more than others) and stretch before and after, especially if you a feeling stiff. Days of rest are good too!! I think today will be a dancing day since I can't track anything and it looks like rain. Have a great week all and "I'll see ya around the block!"

    Well, I've been AWOL for awhile. Treadmill died, again, and I've just been really busy. I did manage to get in a few miles since my last post. I've added 5 miles to my ticker. Headed to the gym when hubby gets home to get in a few more.

    BrunetteWife, thanks for the info on that study from UT Tyler (my alma mater - Go Patriots!). I will definitely try the plyometric exercises you shared. Anything that makes running seem easier seems like a good deal to me!

    Just got home from the gym, where I got in another 2.5 miles. :flowerforyou: I'm up to 14.75 now. With it being so hot outside, it's going to be tough to get the miles in except on the treadmill, and I'll have to wait until hubby gets home to watch daughter, but I will get it done.

    I have been following a beginner's running program that I got from a friend, and I was doing it just fine, but the workouts were 45-60 minutes in length, and I don't always have that long at once since I can't use my treadmill at home, just at the gym where time is limited. I noticed today that the program I was using was a 10K program, so I decided to switch to a 5K program and see how that goes. Tonight I used the Couch to 5K app on my iPhone, and it is pretty cool. Since I've already been running 2 minute intervals, I started at Week 2, and it was just enough of a challenge. I really enjoyed it and can't wait to do it again!

    Glad to see we are all still plugging along and some have even increased their goal mileage! :drinker: Nice work everyone!

    So I have been terrible about keeping up with this and have only walked 10 miles since the last sign in. I hurt my knee doing the JM30DS so had to scale back on some things. Hoping things start feeling better in the next day or so. It has also been brutally hot here so walking in this heat wasn't something I wanted to do anyway! Great job everyone!! I love seeing the miles add up!

    I'm still here!! I logged 5 more miles this week. Eh...not so good but the heat has been TERRIBLE! Only 99 today with a heat index of 114!! Love the new pedometer for my phone and have been tracking whenever and wherever I go. I may not make the 100 mark but I sure am gonna try! Have a great weekend everyone!

    I hope you all are doing great this weekend. I'm currently on the way home from the Ozarks, truck full of guys wanting snacks of all sorts. Didn't get any walking in this weekend, on the boat pretty much the whole time. Gonna get in a walk this evening. Hoping to get 20miles in this week. I start week8 of couch to 5k which is 28min jogs so hopefully I can get at least 2.5 on each one of those days. have a good evening and I will see ya throughout the week.

    I'm in! This sounds like a perfect challenge for me! I'll post my mileage every Sunday. Today will be my day one of the 100 mile challenge. I'm challenging myself to walk/run at least three miles five times this week.

    Welcome aboard! :) I've found it challenging because of the heat but try to get some sort of walking in daily even if it is only here in the house and jogging in place! Good luck!

    Good mornin all!! And welcome firemama!! Glad to see a new face around here!! Not that I don't like the old ones :P This week is showing storms (like a bad one headed my way) but I plan on doing a walk at home video and it's in 3, 4, or 5mile ranges, not sure how really acurrate it is when it claims mile 3 is done after 38 min, so I may not log those 'miles' walked. Enjoy your week all and I'll 'see ya around the block'

    Great job Lori!!!! Rock on! I will have my stats later after my evening walk. Last week was cut short for me as I went out of town, so I'm hoping I have gone a little farther than last week. I believe we only have like 6 1/2weeks to go!! We can do this!!

    Added another 8.5 this week and I am over half way there! Yay! And that was with a bum knee that the doc said to baby!! Woot! I think it may be more than that but, for some reason, the GPS on my phone told me that I had walked 16,543 miles in one day...I think it lied! I walked a little farther than usual but only used the 2 mile mark I was previously using. So...for a total of 52.6 and get my butt in gear and TRY like crazy to go over the 100 mile mark by the end date! :)

    WTG Bru! You are doing awesome!!!

    Don't want to threadjeack but I started a Challenge over in the Fitness area called "Walking/Running Challege" where we set our own monthly goals and track as a group as well. The group is shooting for 2000 miles all together in August. We'd love to have you over there! :tongue:
