    I'm in! Great idea.
    Goal: 100 running miles, 50 elliptical miles
    From 11/25 through 12/1, I've logged 20.89 running miles. 79.11 to go.

    I'm Chrissy. I'm a teacher trying hard to stay out of the lounge and away from the treats. I'm married to a Marine and a natural runner and I have to work hard to keep up with him. I gained after our last move (to Japan in January) and spent the summer getting back into shape. Now that I'm close to my weight goal, I want to focus on new challenges in running. I use Nike Plus and love it but am looking forward to this additional motivation. Let's get moving!:happy:

    17.13 (Previous) plus today's 3.03 = 20.16
    79.84 to go. :)

    Great job Esorcel, Doug, Pandy, Chrissy and Jessica! :)

    Chrissy, when I saw that you had logged 20.89 running miles I was in awe, and thought "what a badass!" Then I checked my own total and saw that I was at 17.13 during the same time period. Not too shabby! I was so surprised to see I'm holding my own, so to speak. Tonight's miles were just a walk though. If not for this challenge, I'm pretty sure I would have remained planted on the couch. It was a gorgeous evening to be out and about!

    Thanks Melissa! Love to see others motivated and to myself be motivated by others. I truly believe this is why so many people using MPF are so successful. You're rockin' it girl! Keep it up!

    I added a 3.14 mile run this afternoon. 24.03 total. 75.97 running miles to go. Motivated, dedicated!

    Awesome! Are you considering raising your goal to 150? I bet you could hit it!
    (And couldn't agree more - the positive attitudes on here go a loooong way in keeping me motivated). :wink:

    Pushed through a 2 hour run/walk this afternoon to add 10 miles. Whew!
    34 down, 66 to go.
    I think I might start on those 50 elliptical miles tomorrow.
    Enjoy the weekend everyone!

    Previous total 20.16 + 1.7 (yesterday's walk) = 21.86

    Wasn't really "feeling it' but 1.7 was better than nothing. Followed up by some zumba and kickboxing. I'll get to that 100, yes I will! :)

    Thanks for the challenge! :)

    I update whenever I have additional miles to add. It helps me to remember how far I have walked. If you don't want to record every miles here, it may be helpful to keep an exercise journal.

    +4 mile run for a total of 38 so far. 62 running miles and 43 elliptical miles left.
    I was also not feeling it today and I probably wouldn't have pushed through if I didn't have this challenge in the back of my mind. So, thank you all for the motivation today. Keep it up friends!
