    If I am new to this, can I join and set a low goal of 20? It will literally be my first 20 miles in about 2 years.

    I guess it will also be "jogging" rather than "running" for me.

    I am in for 150 for July. I slacked off a little in June and am ready to pick it back up a bit!

    @Runningmischka - adorable! Congrats and welcome back. :)

    Also totally new to this...I just rejoined on MFP to start tracking. I haven't worked out at all since last October so any goal I set is way better than what I have been doing. My goal would be 20. Hopefully can get home and get the ticker working. Wonder if I can do one for my kiddo so he can track his?

    I'm new, hello!
    I've chosen 50 miles as I've run 36 this month and I did 46 in May.

    Thanks to a persistent cold I didn't get to my stretch goal in June so I'm going to use the same minimum 200km objective with my stretch goal set at 242km (150 miles), which, fingers crossed, I hope to blow away.
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Month to date:		000.00 km (0% of Goal)
Goal:			200.00 km / 124 miles
Stretch Goal:		242.00 km / 150 miles

Wed Jul 01 ?? Happy Canada Day! (148 years this year)

    20 is an awesome goal! Welcome aboard.

    I didn't do the running challenge last month, just running on my own motivation and ended up taking the entire last week and a half of June off, for a total of 57.75 miles last month. I should've been close to 100 miles for the month.

    So perhaps this will help keep my motivation up. Goal being 100 miles, with a stretch goal being 140 with the 10% increase rule.

    I am truly a beginner to jogging/running because I am just recently small enough to do it where it doesn't bother my knees. I only get to jog when my husband can watch my 2 toddlers for a bit, and it is inconsistent, but I'm going to shoot for 12 miles this month. He isn't sure if he can commit to watching them every other day or I would go for 16. Good luck to anyone else just starting out!!

    I'm setting my goal at 20 miles (I'm still a walker but it will give me a reason to make sure I get up every morning and do it) I have usually taken weekends off but now it may just be Sundays that I take off! Now to get me a cool ticker thingy to put up!

    My aim is to do more than I did in June, and make it through the month without another injury :) So I'm in for 50km.

    I've been not feeling well again again. I tried a run this morning and kind of failed miserably...I managed 3.4 KM out of 50km for the month.

    I'm going to try for 130 miles in July. I've had a great month in June, but the weather cooperated. I figure at some point, there will be some rain that slows me down.

    I'm just getting back into running the last few weeks myself, so I'll join in to try and keep motivated!
    I'm trying to get off the treadmill and run outside more, (although these darn summer evening thunderstorms are making it hard) as well.
    I'll shoot for 35 miles for July.

    I'll be finishing up my Zombies, Run! 5k training plan right before my 5k run on July 11th. After that it's going to be all about that base, about that base.... (building up my fitness base, that is).

    Hi I'm trying to get back into running. I was doing good a couple of years ago but fell off the wagon. So I'm excited to start again. Wish me luck!

    Welcome to all the newbies! This is a great group of very supportive and encouraging runners of all levels! It's a great place to ask questions, seek advice, share your accomplishments and challenges and just have fun!!

    I'm in again for 110 - want to go for 120 again but I am in half marathon training/taper mode with the SF (1st) half at the end of the month!
    Tomorrow is a rest day for me - see you all on the 2nd!

    Thanks Stan (@Stoshew71) for organizing/herding us all here once again!
