    How do you guys train for an ultra? I'm spent by mile 11.....you must be superhuman!
    I think everyone on here is awesome! Definitely seeing everyone's mileage keeps me motivated to step my game up with my running! My fastest mile was right under 7 minutes but my steady pace is 9 sometimes 10 minute miles!

    I have fallen 3 times, had my arm stitched up, broke one phone, encountered the same snake 2 separate times, been stung by wasps on my booty, and had a pack of at least 20 ducks fly into me while running! But nothing compares to the high I get and the great way I feel after a long run!

    I've only just started running in the evenings after work.
    I really enjoy it but got a long way to go before trying to run in a marathon/race.
    You guys that can run 15-20 miles are fantastic and hopefully I'll be writing that one day
    I used to be one of those "running, what's the point" people but now I'm a total convert.
    I love getting out and working up sweat and feel a real sense of achievement at the end.

    I am a huge runner! You're weight my be increasing because you aren't eating enough calories. Do you use a fitness tracker? I would start recording your calories and make sure you aren't too deficient.

    I love to run but for some reason I don't do it very often ?!?! Has anyone experienced this weirdness, it's like I can't get motivated to do it even though I love it a lot.

    I feel that some days but once I hit the pavement I am like oh yeah I am so glad I made myself go running!

    Brittany I was eating too much! I started tracking a couple of weeks ago and I eat to maintain. So I have once again cut back on my calories. It is hard during this time of year! I lost 26 lbs since February but these last 15 lbs that I want to drop are being stubborn. I have lost 5 lbs in 15 days so I am assuming i am on the right track.

    I want to purchase a fit bit but my local friends say it made them lose motivation.

    So I just use mile markers to know my mileage and my iPhone to time!

    I've had that problem for the last 13 years. My training was spot on for the Naha Marathon.1 week out I got immense hammy pain. Still did the race, but my running has never been the same-lack almost all motivation for it. I do it, but it's just not the same
