    @healthyfocused715 it was wonderful!

    @arussell134 you can join and handle the challenge any way you want.

    @briebee7 Fantastic!!!!

    @nottafattie that is great your son ran with you. I love when my 14 year old daughter runs with me.

    Love the tickers @QHjr and @nottafattie that's what I look like running when it's windy, my feet are going but my body isn't moving. :smiley:

    In a little late, but I'm in for 80 miles this month. On the long road to a half marathon in August with a pit stop along the way at a 10k in the spring. This has been a personal goal of mine that I've never quite been able to dedicate myself to. I've had enough, and this year is my year.

    Finally healing up from a pulled back muscle this weekend, so I have big plans for the treadmill after work. Not logging those yet though.

    3/2 - 3 miles (walked because of back pain, but I'm counting them!)

    @4leighbee Lucky you with the muddy trial run! I can't wait to run my river's edge trail through the woods again, it's still deep under snow here.

    @skippygirlsmom overcast but 42°F here today! I was so excited I ran in a tank and capris too!
    @autumnblade75 I was so excited to see you running again, now I'm sad that it was too soon. Don't worry you're getting stronger every day!

    @nottafattie love that your son ran with you. My daughters (& friends) ran with me again Monday for the first time in 2015. They take winters off and they really don't understand why I love to run outside.

    You have to mention the outrageous cycling goal.
    @ddmom0811 logs her cycling miles here too, she goes out for some incredibly long rides. Well, I'm not a cyclist so I think they're incredible. :)
    Welcome Back friend!

    @fabnine and @shanaber‌‌ -- Thank you :smile:

    My cycling goal this month is 600 miles. I would love to do more running, but I'm trying to take it easy on my knee right now.

    03/01 -- REST DAY
    03/02 -- 5.25 mile run + 28.00 mile bike -- (5.25/140) -- (28.00/600)

    3/4: 3 mile jog with dogs this morning. 6 mile lunch run. Was not expecting to run so much. Honestly, I am happy it is out of the way, but I never do tempos back to back. We have an off site work lunch/meeting tomorrow. SO thankful I brought workout clothes today! Had to run on the fly. Didn't have headphones or running shorts. Only too big leggings lol. Awkward lunch run

    Goal: 60

    01 March = 2.56 miles
    02 March = 2.00 miles
    04 March = 5.02 miles - did an out and back route... accidentally stopped my Garmin at half way instead of hitting the lap button - so annoyed as the second half felt faster than the first and I very rarely manage negative splits... ah well!

    I'm in a fight with my iphone because I just realized only half of my last post made it through the wifis, so let's try this again:
    I'm in for 100 this month- I'm exactly 8 weeks out from a marathon and have a half marathon (Run the Bluegrass in Lexington) on the 28th.
    - 3/1- 14 miles. It was sleeting all day, so on the treadmill :neutral_face: Thank god for House of Cards
    - 3/2- 3 miles (in the snow!)
    - 3/3- weights and yoga day
    - 3/4- 4 miles. On the treadmill again. Can't wait to be in Arizona next week!

    That puts me at 21 miles so far this month/week! :smiley:

    Wow! 600 miles! I'm just biking 34 on Saturdays (group ride) and then Sundays are always different - sometimes 50, sometimes 25, sometimes a run instead.

    I went to my running store tonight to get new shoes and I ended up buying the same exact ones I already have. I just started running last summer, so these are my first running shoes. I went in all excited to get a different pair after reading all of you discuss the thrill of new shoes but then when I tried these same ones on, I loved them again. They are New Balance 880v4. When I bought them in August I tried on at least 10 pairs before I finally settled. I didn't even think they would still make the same ones because I figured like textbooks, they make new ones every year. The person who helped me looked at my old shoes and said that I was wearing them out evenly, so I guess that was good.

    Give me another year and I'll be an expert.... okay, I won't be an expert, but I'll at least know what brand I wear (which I really didn't even remember until I looked at them tonight). :blush:
