    Hi Stoshew71 and Everyone!

    Thank you for your kind invitation! I'm excited as well as hopeful of crossing my goal successfully this time. Others workouts have cut back running time so it's 30 miles challenge in May for me. Good Luck to everyone!

    0.73 Miles. I'm doing C25K so I calculated my total "running" to be that much.

    Make sure your actual logs are on the main thread located at:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1268744-may-running-challange

    And you can log both running and walking.

    I'm not getting off to a good start. I'm skipping my scheduled 5-mile run today due to a bad cold. I ran the past two nights and each time my temperature would spike up to 102°. Going to rest a couple of days and hopefully get over this thing!

    Question guys: I was unable to updated my already created ticker this morning. I had to create a brand new ticker and add my miles. When I use the direct image URL (http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w37azVs/exercise.png) it simply takes me to the image itself. Clicking on the ticker does nothing. When I use the link indicated in the instructions (http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php?type=8) I have no option to select settings and enter the PIN I created. Am I missing something? Or doing something wrong? Any clarification is greatly appreciated - Thank you!

    Half marathon yesterday! Ran a personal best: 1 hour 57 minutes. I think I could have gone faster - I was pretty comfortable for most of the race. Maybe I'll aim for a slightly faster time next time...
