    Well, I got my new hrm up and running, so I'm going to do the treadmill for 2 miles and the elliptical for 30 minutes (not sure how much that is), maybe longer if I can get my 2 miles done faster:noway:

    I wasn't able to do the treadmill but I did 5.65 miles on the elliptical.

    I think this is such a cool idea. It is really great to look back and be able to see all that you have accomplished. It really does motivate you to keep going by seeing all that you've already done. This is awesome.

    Hi everyone ! So I had started my own challenge walking to my parents in the begining of Feb. Now i know that sounds easy but my parents are on the other side of the ocean. Theres no way that i will be able to it in one year but its a goal to look forward too. I have a perdometer and i wear it all day. I dont work well i guess some would say a house wife :happy: So my life is sedetary so steps will be low on the days i dont work out and if im going to make my goal i know now where i need to be everyday and i would be happy to share this experince with all of you. happy 1,000 miles to all!

    Did 5 and a half miles on the elliptical tonight. Was told by a trainer at my gym that I need to switch up my workout so I think starting Monday I'm going to use the treadmill.

    Hey guys!!! Is it too late to join your group??? I set my walking goal in January but it sure would be nice to have some company. I also would like to start incorporating some running into my workouts.

    I am so excited to be doing this!! Having it on a ticker in front of your face sure helps.....:blushing:

    I am doing the Bolder Boulder on Memorial Day so I have a good reason to keep going!!!

    Good luck to everyone!!!:drinker:

    Kimlee and lesha - Good job! Keep it up!

    olyjok - that sounds painful! I hada cold recently and didn't exercise at all for like 10 days! Hope you feel better! I'm reading this post sitting at my desk on a Friday afternoon --- I could definitely use a drink right now! :drinker:

    amcclure - welcome, and wow, 70.8 miles already! You've got a head start. Way to go! :flowerforyou:

    4 miles on the elliptical today while I read 2 chapters of a book. I love the shopoholic series, but I haven't seen the movie yet! :happy:

    well I'm finally home from my month long class that I had to go to (Thank God!!) and my boss gave me the day off, so I went running this afternoon, it was a little over 2 miles, although I'm not sure how much, I'm going to drive it in a bit to find out and then I will update my ticker!!

    :heart:

    ETA -- it was 2.7 miles, so I just added 2.5 miles :drinker:

    I'm in, my goal was to run more, started with 25 miles per month on January first, today.......wait for it.....

    I did 102 miles as of today! I even got a little certificate to print from the nike website for it :blushing:

    Rethinking goal and I am going for it, why not, I am going to get 1000 miles in this year and my ultimate goal is to run my first marathon next January!

    Welcome, newcomers. Good job everyone. Tonight I did a 3 mile walking dvd. I was going to do the treadmill at the gym but it was so busy that I ended up just leaving.

    I'd like to join, too!

    I need a little extra motivation. Everything has just been exhausting and stressful lately! I'm going to start from the beginning of the year. So I'll have to check my distances in the morning (well, later in the morning, lol) and make my ticker.

    Everyone is doing so great! :smile:
