Hi. I'm b3achy from Florida, USA. I hope to get my miles via Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), walking, rowing machines, glider machines and elliptical machines. I don't run due to bad knees. When I started strength training, I dropped some of my cardio, but this is forcing me to get back on track with it. My goal is trying to maintain 4 miles 5 days per week (M-F). Hopefully that means weekends will be some extra miles toward the goal.

I personally prefer to post my progress daily, so I built a separate progress thread to keep the main threads clean of my jibberish. I belong to a number of challenge threads here, and the daily accountability is what keeps me motivated to get off my tush and workout.

Hi - I'm bike the world from Indiana, USA. @pettycoatjunction I got all choked up when I saw your German Shorthair Pointer. I used to have one - what a fantastic dog.

I didn't start running until my late 40's. I still can't say I "love" to run - but I absolutely love how it makes me feel. I've completed 18 half marathons and 1 full marathon in the last several years. That said, I am a very low mileage runner (avg 15 miles/week) and I often take a few weeks off, so I will have to bump up my miles to hit the 1000 and be consistent.

That said, I think I have plantar fasciitis. Started two days ago. I have it taped up and wore a special boot thing to bed last night. Hoping this goes away fast or I will start the year already behind! I ran 4.5 Monday morning, and Monday night my husband had to help me hobble to bed. So......bummer.

Hi,

Hi, Jackie from Seattle, quick hello. We're presently staying in Seaside or. at a bed & breakfast for our 14th year anniversary. We staying till tomorrow afternoon so I'll get a formal introduction at that time.

I'm excited to watch everyone achieve their goals.

Hoping to boost weight loss by cycling.

I live in Scotland and want to clock up some miles in different parts of the country if possible.

Hi, I am Rus from the Kansas City area. I started running for the first time since high school this past May, completing the C25K program in July and ran a couple of 5K's and an 8K double-run. I have just started training for my first half marathon that I want to run in April, just before I turn the big 5-0 and planning a 5K and 10K between now and then.

Feel free to add me on MFP if you're looking for motivating and encouraging friends and I also just got a Garmin device for Christmas, so if you do the Garmin Connect Community, I am on there as imskin85.

Hello everyone! I'm Rae from the beautiful Pacific NW, USA. Empty-nester with grown married children, two amazing little wee grandchildren with another on the way. I live on a couple acres in Oregon with my husband of 35 years and two very spoiled furbabies. I'm a walk/jog/walker and swimmer, so I'm planning to include my aqua miles in my totals. It rains so much in the PNW that I go to the pool more in the winter than walking outside. Although, I have done my fair share of road races in a steady downpour!

My walking goal for 2017 is to do at least five road races including the Great Columbia Crossing 10K which is across a bridge spanning the great Columbia River between Oregon and Washington. We were registered for it this year, but it was canceled due to a huge storm on the Pacific coast. I got the t-shirt, but never did the race. Wah waah.

Hi all. I'm Lisa from Wisconsin. I do not run - it has never interested me - but I love walking and hiking. We'll see if slow and steady gets me to the finish line .

Hi,

I'm BB. It took me awhile to realize this but I notice when I meet regularly with a dietician, nutritionist or go to weight watcher meetings that I can keep on track in terms of losing weight and exercising. I know how to eat right and exercise but on my own it's difficult to stay motivated, I feel like I need accountability and a purpose. Thanks for starting this. I'm off to a slow start but getting my rhythm.

Hi I am Belle from AZ. My DD gave me her old Fitbit Charge HR. I count my everyday miles with. My February goal is 160 miles. I was posting everyday, but got irritated with my ticker not working with my Ipad . So I am posting my results month to month.

Who is doing the month to month Move Your @ss Challenge? You are there @GrandmaJackie I beleive?
