in Motivation and Support
Hello all, fairly new to this. I decided for my 2015 resolution was to jog 1000 miles in the whole year.

Definitely going to need motivation on this one. Even if it just a like on my status. I use run keeper religiously and looking for people to add on there too.

I'm 25 with an average to athletic build, I do my push ups every night and morning. Used to be a long distance runner until I tore my meniscus, trying to show that injury's is just a temporary situation.

    Great goal! I'm training for my first half marathon in February and *might* attempt to do a full marathon by the end of the year. I use runkeeper too! Feel free to add me on here, and on runkeeper my username is LaurenAOK.

    Good luck with that goal! I made a resolution to be vegetarian for a year in 2006 and I've kept it (mostly) for 8 years. A little over 2.5 miles a day is totally doable!

    Ooh, I am quite tempted....as a previous marathon runner who had ACL reconstruction last year, I feel your pain/frustrations! I have only managed to get up to about 20 mins running at a time so far, so slow and steady as far as my build up goes, but with care I could give it a darned good go!!

    That's a nice goal. I power walk between 2 - 5 miles daily. It was my main source of exercise during my 80 lb loss and it still is during maintenance. I'll add up my monthly miles at the end of this month, but I'm estimating I should be around 1200+ miles for the year. When I first started I could barely keep up with a 1/2 mile.

    Best of luck OP!

    Sounds awesome! This is a goal I've had myself for several years now but never been able to meet it. Closest I got was around 800.
    Would LOVE it if you would start a group for everyone interested in joining you for the 1000 mile goal. I would definitely join.

    I ended up making a group for this. Not sure how it will work but if anyone is interested, please add me with a short message and I will invite you.
