Thanks @shanaber, and welcome to @JamieD328 and @corriepelc.
I just started my 15k training plan this week, so my goal is 30 miles again, with a stretch goal of 35.

Thank you @shanaber for setting this up.
I am going to aim for 40 miles again for March seeing as I missed that amount in February. This will be where getting the miles in starts becoming a challenge until June as I know life is going to get in the way. I am hoping though I should have enough spare time this month to get those 40 miles in!5 -
Hi,
I'm new to this challenge and returning from injury, so I'm going to set a realistic target of 50 for the month.
So, how does this work?
Do I just post an update every time I run?12 -

There is no "rule"
Some of us just chat about it
Some of us have fancy graphical tickers
Some of us just post text updates
Some of us count walking, cycling and swimming too
It is whatever works best for you

Glad its still February, as I stare out the window at the rain. I can jog around the house, but I won't have a good way to gauge distance...4

@benbowers - Welcome! What @PastorVincent said plus feel free to jump into the discussions or ask questions.
Also welcome @JamieD328 and @corriepelc!
This is a great, crazy and supportive group that can help to keep you motivated. Fair warning, the thread moves very fast so if you blink you may be behind several pages. Don't feel obligated to go back and read it all but many of us do. We will also try to catch and respond to whatever questions there are and you may get a lot of responses 😁
Also there is some great information in the first post of the thread and there are also some good links to reference information, training plans, etc. located here:

I plan to increase my goal running goal. I'll try run 25 or 30 miles for March. thanks for the motivation 8

200 miles for March is my minimum mileage.16

My goal will be 120 miles with a stretch of 130 miles8

I don't have my plan yet so I'll post my goal once I get it.
I've got two races in March and for some reason asked my coach to add in plyo. I must be so ready to get back at it after this cold that I lost my damn mind.
Also, I'm expecting you all to hold me accountable to lifting. I've been a slacker. 😩🤪💪🏻10 -
I have spring break which means I won't be cycling for two weekends, so more miles running!
I am going for 70 miles. 11 -
My goal is to simply start running again, so I'm going to aim for 3 runs per week. Building the habit will be the biggest aim this month. 15
-
In for 70km. That's just a guess based on glancing at my coach's plan for me this month.
I fizzled in February (I did run some, but was on full on avoidance of running talk mode) but aside from a crappy cold Saturday it looks like spring is on the way. Here we go!9 -
Hello running friends! The forecast for March doesn’t look to be letting up on snow, and of course we’ve had heavy snows through April and light ones into May not infrequently in the past, so no bets on clear pavement for a while still. It is looking like we will start seeing temps in the 20s and 30s (YAY!), which will mean flooding and ice (BOO!) but may also mean the lake trails at least will be passable. We will find out.
My racing plan for the year had my first half marathon of the year on June 1, but I haven't put down any money yet and am considering moving it back to July 4th, which has some appeal as it would be the same event where I did my very first ever road race last year. Of course, last year the half marathon was canceled on account of excessive heat, but that probably won’t happen two years in a row, right?
Either way, that’s a long winded way of saying that I might start half marathon training on March 11 aiming for a June 1 race, which would put me at 40-50 miles for the month, or I may put it off for another month, which will mean who knows. Either way, I’m signed up for a 5K on March 23rd and I intend to run at least once before then. I ran 9.77 miles in March last year so I should probably aim to beat that, so 10 miles it is!
In the meantime, I will continue to aspire to ride the exercise bike and make it to the gym three times a week. I've been doing pretty well on the latter and am really enjoying the new programming that started last week. The exercise bike, not so much, but so it goes. I've been getting a little better about stretching and mobility work, so I'll try and keep that up too. Maybe I'll even make it to yoga one of these days!11 -
Welcome all the new folks, and don't mind the "woos" - someone is definitely trying to hit "like" from a cell phone while wearing mittens!9

My first time in this group
I'm aiming for 3 runs a week (no mileage, ACL reconstruction and partial meniscectomy). Started back running in May but haven't done much since Christmas.
Taking it slow and steady...get back in the routine...run 1 tomorrow 11 -

I just got mine. I'm guessing over 100 miles 🤣 I'll have to add it up when I'm not at work.4 -
