    OK - I'm 'IN'...

    Have a hilly, half-marathon to run in 3 weeks time, so with the training for that, I'll certainly be running anyway!

    March goal set at 105 km (or 65 miles)

    Declaring for 65 miles again. I discovered last month (and January) that I have to take half marathon training down a notch or I get injury precursors (ie too sore to run the long runs). So I'm just going to see if I can hit 65 again. Half Marathon is on the 29th, and I have a 10K next Saturday.

    My goal is 30 miles. I'm having hernia surgery on the 6th, so we'll see how quickly I can bounce back.

    I noticed a photo icon so im trying it out....

    Looks like we have about 6 inches of snow/sleet here in southern OK. Husband says 8, but that's just a silly guy measurement... Maybe in the drifts :D


    Edit- guess it didn't work... Photo icon is now gone... Ah well.

    Wouldnt it be cool if we could connect a fitbit exercise tracker to our running tickers. I dont own a fitbit but I like to dream... does anyone have a FitBit? if so how do they work? and are they fun to use? or waste of money
    @natacha305‌ - I got a FitBit (thru work) in October, and I attribute most of my #41 decrease to it. It's been a great way to hold myself accountable to getting off my *kitten* and getting some steps/calories burning.

    I'm in for 70 miles again this month and I'm determined to make it , this is my third attempt this year.

    Well January was 60, February was 70, so I guess I have to go to 80! I'm so sore right now so 20 miles a week seems daunting right now!

    I have been doing a lot of 3 mile runs several days a week with less than a handful of 5-6 milers. This month I would really like to do more long runs. Maybe add a couple of 9-10 milers.

    Good luck everyone, whatever your goals may be!

    I'm still working on healing the ankle, so I'm doing more walking than running, but I'll hit 75 miles this month if I have to crawl...

    I'm in for 45. I'm going to start half marathon training. I have signed up for a 5K this month. I plan on doing a half marathon in October.

    I've been running since January 1st and just finished my first 10k program. I have my first non 5k race next Saturday (8k). Now I am training for a half marathon.

    My goal for March is 65 miles.

    I am so out of shape it's not funny and I have multiple 5ks coming up.

    So just to ease into exercise again I'm in for 25 miles.

    To the person who asked about the Fitbit- personally loved the idea but the things kept coming undone (three different Fitbits, different models) and getting lost, I moved to Jawbone and haven't been happier (going on a year without losing it! Plus I can shower with it which makes it even better).

    OK, I found you, but it looks like I am out of my class. I will try 25 miles and see what happens. Don't have a clue how to set up a ticker. lol
    There are runners at all levels on this thread - don't feel outclassed! We are all here to support each other - no matter how many miles we run!
