WOW! 2 days in and over a hundred-fifty posts to catch up on! Welcome to all the new folks (and especially to those who are related to the old-timers!) and welcome back to us old folks! It's a new year to crush, and those miles aren't gonna run themselves. Challenge Accepted!
Might have to update my post to auto-add CA! at the end....

Everyone, @ericjayh has a natural talent for running. He doesn't do much training, runs every now and then (just guessing, he might have made 100 miles last year), and can knock out some respectable distance and times.
His HM is sub 2. I mean really? The 31st he felt like running and did 11 miles, long hills on road. Who just decides to run 11 miles? He's not Kenyan..
I hope he finds the desire to train in this group. I'll never be able to catch him.
I know that there are guys here that he can learn from when he's ready. He's mentioned Boston, and I don't doubt that he could pull that off, if he puts his mind to it. So I invite the guys to friend him so I'm not his only competition. That's just unfair..0 -
1/2: 3 miles in the great outdoors. Cold and windy but the sun was out in full force.0

Hi everyone I'm Eric, @Elise4270 's husband. I'll join in but I have no goal. We'll just see where the month takes us.
1-rest
Upcoming races
2-6-2016 Hot Chocolate Dallas
3-19-2016 rock and roll 5k
3-20-16 rock and roll half Dallas
And what ever else my wife rooks me in too!
It's okay to not have a goal. I posted for all of December with my goal listed as "none stated" because I don't do monthly goals. This month, I'm showing my weekly goals with the idea of mentioning how I performed vs. goal each Saturday. Because I'm following a training plan, close to goal is good and blowing way past goal is not good for me.0 -

I'm going to aim for 55 miles this month.
1/2 6.5 miles
Longest non-stop run so far. Yay! Also upped my speed a little bit as I was thinking I'd only run 5 tonight, soooo while I'm still a turtle to you many hares in this group, it's a slightly faster turtle. Was 15 min/mile on my long runs, tonight just under 14 min/mi. Running outside the last few, shorter runs has helped my speed some I guess. There I typically hit just around 12 min/mi (a bit over sometimes, a bit under some) for 3.5 to 4 miles.0 -
Got on the treadmill feeling like crap... But my stomach feels better now. Weird. Glad I did it anyway. I have a lot of life stuff to work through, so it's nice to just talk to myself in my head for a bit.
2.9 miles today - almost up to my daily goal!
01/02 ..... 2.9 miles ...... 5.7/84 miles0 -

This is my fourth ever run as an adult and I'm loving it. I made it just under 1.5 miles before needing to walk for moment to let my legs stop screaming at me. All miles under 9 minutes so I'm feeling encouraged and ready to head out again on Monday.
Must buy warmer gloves. Stayed warm enough with the running gear I bought buy my fingers were freezing.

Tomorrow I will go through and read all the posts while watching the football games. I can't believe I am already over 200 behind - wow!
Had a great longish run today to start the year for me. Met up with my elite runner friend who I hadn't seen for a while and we ran a few miles together before I split off for home. My legs are still a bit stiff from the HM last weekend but are getting better with each day/run I do.
