    7 miles today- total of 77.5/100.

    I have a stomach bug now! Hopefully a fast recovery as I have a half marathon next Saturday with my mom.

    Hope you recover quickly, good luck for your half next weekend.

    Ohhim..... 55min better than you last marathon that's fantastic.

    Well finally got out for a run today after 17 days off, only did 2 miles as the every weather was very icy . Can't believe how hard 2 miles felt after only 17 days of not running, it was only 5 weeks ago I run a half marathon.
    4 miles done 56 to do.

    First 15 miles of today's marathon went perfectly, next 5 were on pace, but ran into a headwind and too much sun/heat on my last 6 to crack the 3:45 mark and bonked a bit at the end. Finished in 3:52, a 55 minute PR over my last marathon, so I'll take it. Looking forward to improving at my next one in May (Pittsburgh).
    Wow, that's an awesome PR! Congratulations :)

    Brrr, it got colder again. Well, maybe not all that cold (about 30F), but just to that really annoying point where I can't decide if I need gloves or not. I kept taking them off because my hands were getting to warm, only to put them on again a few minutes later because I had to admit that without them, my hands started get uncomfortably cold...
    I guess fussing with my clothes is also a way of passing the time on a long run ;)

    1.1.15 - 3.7km
    3.1.15 - 5.4km
    4.1.15 - 13.3km
    6.1.15 - 3.5km
    9.1.15 - 6.4km
    11.1.15 - 11.0km
    13.1.15 - 4.4km
    16.1.15 - 5km
    18.1.15 - 14.7km
    67.4 km (of 100km) done

    @autumnbla - Love it!! Such a cool idea!! And so great to keep you motivated/moving on the treadmill. I tend to run much slower on the treadmill than outside. Pure laziness? More focused on Jane the Virgin than my fitness level? Who knows, but really admire you and your brother racing it out!
    @briebee - Feel better!
    @Ohhim - Woohoo!!!!! Awesome job!! Just utterly fantastic!
    @fabnine - Always in awe of your commitment to run in our weather (I'm in Maine)! Bravo!

    Got hit by some bug (flue or cold), so I had a late start running in January. I shortened my goal a bit since I am completely out of shape after not running for 2 weeks! Managed to do 15 miles or so this week.

    Had a fun race at Disneyland today. Lots of people running in costume; no clue how you run 13 miles in a wookie costume! Weather was a perfect 50 and overcast for almost the entire race. I didn't PR but did well and I am happy with my time. I ended up being 20th in my age group out of almost 200 women!

    Hi all,

    I'm new to MFP, but very excited to jump in and get to work! I'm a little late creating my January running/walking goal, but I think 25 miles is do-able.

    The biggest issue is actually not the weather (I live in cold, snowy Maine)- it's time. I have a desk job - and an hour commute each way (or two hours round trip), so I'm sitting a lot. I would be lucky to get a half a mile (1,000 steps) with my daily activity.

    So here goes. I've already gotten a few good walks so far - only 19 miles to go!
