    5.00 miles/8.05 km this morning!

    I remember three months ago, running 5 miles in 49-something minutes, I wanted to die, and I couldn't walk for two hours afterwards. Today I ran 5 miles in 47-something minutes and was only running moderately hard and felt fine at the end. Yay progress!

    Trying to figure out the ticker thing. New to running. I started training to a 5k in late August ran one on Thanksgiving with a time of 32:57. I'm not a runner and it was 28 degrees!

    Now, I'm ready for this challenge

    To date: 13 miles

    Can someone help me out with the ticker? I've got my code, but have no idea where to put it. Thanks!

    I would love to join y'all!!! This is my first month being back on MFP in quite a while. I've got to get this extra weight off and this will be a perfect place to start. This month my challenge will be 50 miles and below are my totals so far.

    12/2 - 3 miles
    12/4 - 3.20
    Total - 6.20
    43.8 to go

    Can someone tell me how to add a ticker from ticker factory to track my progress? I'm clueless.

    Well done everyone! Planning some longer runs on the weekend so hoping to make a dent in my total.

    Ashley, I just went to tickerfactory.com, made a ticker, and copied the bbcode into my post. I don't know how to make the distance ones appear in the signature, only the weight ones.

    December 3: 4.62 miles
    December 5: 5.00 miles
    December 7: 3.88 miles

    Only 3.88 miles today - was aiming for more like 6 miles but it started raining really heavily 20 minutes into the run so I had to turn around and come back because I was worried about how wet my phone was getting! Will try again tomorrow.
