    Been a couple days since I've updated:

    W10d3 of c210k... Almost 5 miles
    Quick 2 mile run when new leash for pup came from Amazon...once she saw it we HAD to go :)
    W11d1 of c210k ... Almost 5 miles.


    I am still shocked when I type these distances out. Just a couple of months ago the though of running for 2 mins straight sounded like torture!

    I'm already over 100 miles for August, assuming I can count walking and hiking. I joined this thread way late, but I just wanted to take part :)

    FWIW, I think my fitbit (which is my primary source of distance calculation) has been shorting me distance due to an uncalibrated stride length. I used a GPS today on my hike and it was almost 50% higher than the fitibit... I think I may be approaching 150 miles and we still have almost 2 weeks left!

  • I'm at 90 miles here in Afghanistan. I ran 5 miles per day, less a few travel days. 5 miles in 38 minutes..not bad. I am running a marathon (26.2 miles) here in October. Good luck with your challenge. Be sure to stretch out and warm up before running to reduce injury. I am going to bump myself up to 7 miles, 1 mile more a week until I get to 10 miles a day. It takes dedication, correct diet and most importantly practice. Additionally, a treadmill is not a really good factor for the real thing i.e. on the road running. I used to run on the treadmill and when it came time for actual running on pavement, I was noticeably slower due to the belt that is already moving and your legs do not get the strength from actual push off of your body weight like on pavement.

    So it's looking like I'll get to 60 with ease. Makes me a little giddy to think maybe I'm not quite a beginner anymore. The c25k program is really quite amazing.
