@terihalsey62 if you are new to running (not sure how new) you might want to try a program like C25K to build up mileage. It's hard to say to someone what is a good goal for them, all depends on where you are in your running and how much you like to run. I try to run 6 days a week (sometimes I only get in 5) I vary my distance and I'm training for a half marathon. Right now my goal is 120 miles, others are dang deer and run 200+ miles a month, other are new or just run to add cardio and may run 20 miles a month. Just be safe and injury free. Oh yeah and Welcome!

Welcome everyone who is new! We are a group of fun and encouraging runners at all levels. It is a great place to ask questions and get advice and just share your running experiences!
@skippygirlsmom - lol, you are too funny!
@jorocka and @skippygirlsmom - you both overslept! I had to be up at 5 for another early (long) meeting at 5:30. The good news is once it is over I can head out for my run while it is still somewhat cool out!0 -
Hi!!! I'm in for 300 miles0

I slacked off a lot over the summer so my goal for September is 50 miles. I need to build my mileage back up.0

I am about to complete a beginners running training course and want to continue the momentum so I'm in for 50 miles.0

2.52 miles this morning0 -
I made myself sleep in this morning because I stayed up too late last night. I will have to run around lunch time in the heat and humidity! (yay for plasma boost)!0

LOL Ok I am actually going to make an attempt to keep up with this for September. I think I posted somewhere in here in July and then forgot to keep up with it. So for September I am going to go for 60 miles.
9/1/15-2.5 (got a late start this morning looking for my arm band....never found it had to improvise)0 -
I typically do about 6-9 miles per week so I want to up my goal to an even 50 miles this month.0 -
Going to shoot for an even 100 miles this month just hoping to get in in with all my other training going on.0

'splain please - how does running in the heat create a plasma boost, and is that a good thing or not?

at LEAST a tenth- if not .150 -
Just checking in because I like to keep up with you all...today was a victory of sorts because I didn't run.
I really, really wanted to, but I didn't. Because I need to fix this dumb hip problem. So today I did strength training and "ran" on the elliptical. I did some good stretching, too. Tomorrow, I can run--aiming for a 10k.
I'm hoping I can keep my mileage at the same level, but I'm not sure if that's advisable? I was running 5-6 days, mostly 3-4 miles with a 7.5 miler once per week. If I only run 3-4 days a week, what would be a good way to distribute my 20-25 miles? I'm not sure I'm ready to run farther than 7.5 (honestly I normally walk the last quarter to a half mile of that, anyway).0 -
MFP September 2015 Running Challenge:
What better way to start the month off then by leaving the car at home and running to the gym. Great idea right? Well it was .......... till I got done with "Leg Day" and realized I had to run home. Wasn't too bad just slowed the pace a little and got it done.
September Goal: 48 miles
Complete: 2 miles

9/1 - 3.1 miles; yesterday's run was great, today not so much. But I slogged through it.
