February Running Challenge

Feb 1 - 27 mile bike ride.
Feb 2 - 3 miles — have a different calf pain than the pain I had 2 weeks ago, other leg, different spot, almost the side of the calf instead of the back. So had to walk a lot to make sure I would hurt something else.

It's gorgeous!!!

I'm in for 80 miles. What a fun way to find motivation.

02/01/2015 - 9.03Miles - Cumulative 9.03 Miles

GOAL: 80 Miles

In for 70 miles this month, and just started half marathon training.

2/1 - 3 miles

I'm in for 25 miles again (just running - I hike at least another 25!). Just shy last month not because of weather surprisingly, but other obligations. Hopefully I can get 25 this month! =D

I don't run, EVER, but I'd like to.. so here goes, don't laugh at my mini goal of 15 miles.

I will go for 75, since i did 26 in the past week and a half... though i might be able to do more.. but I want to be able to reach it so I'll be realistic.

Welcome Elizabethpro, no one will laugh at you we were all new to running once.

100 km this month, because it sounds so much nicer than 60 miles

I need a little push to get running again. Since it's been cold out, I have basically just stopped altogether. I want to get on the treadmill, and get moving again.

My goal is 20 km (12.4 mi). Minimal, I know, but my goal is to run about 2 km/session, 2 times/week. I am getting back into the groove.

I did that last winter(2013)- just quit running when the weather turned nasty. In 2014 I started streak running to hold myself accountable. I'm delighted to say that with the awesome support of other runners here it really hasn't been that bad. You can do this!!! Welcome & happy winter running.

My first run of the month was kind of scary, but not because of the zombies (an app I use religiously). It got dark, incredibly windy and lightning-y part way through the run which was exciting but a wee bit terrifying. One minute after I arrived home it started absolutely bucketing, so I'm just glad I made it back before that.

You were running in an electrical storm. I thought I'd done it all but I have never run through lightning. I hereby pass on my 'crazy running lady' title to you. Glad you made it home safely!

Ran 2 miles today. My 4 year old has been asking to go with me when I run so I took her with me in the jogging stroller. My easy pace felt a lot more difficult but she was so happy to go so no complaints here.

Can't get my ticker to work either...

@ddmom0811‌ - hope your leg is better soon! Shin splints maybe?
@Wendy1Fl‌ - When is the race? There are many training plans available online to try but you might just try running some intervals, or running some part(s) of a regular run a bit faster than you normally run. Use your watch or a HR monitor to measure how you are doing. But only do this with one of your weekend runs... if you can run more often you could try it 2x/week.
