    Trying to get my ticker to update... It is not working... Sadness all around.

    Are we supposed to post here or in the "closed" group that was created... So far, it seems that everyone is posting here.

    Ran in the rain yesterday (love that!) and walked 2 miles on lunch today. The miles are adding up... but I need to increase my pace if I'm going to reach 100 by month's end!


    I love to run in the rain as well, most people have thought I'm nuts lol. Usually it's not an option for me as I do most of my running with a small group of friends at the track in the evening, and I bring my kids along, they aren't so happy about the rain lol.


    Trying to get my ticker updated so far I have 16 miles in. :)

    I'd love to join! There is a 5k or 10k October 1st so this will be even more motivation to get ready!

    I'm doing a 5k on Oct. 1st, too!

    I am doing a 5K Saturday but at a slow pace so I am going to still get my run in for Friday. Older son & DH is running in the 5K as well so it will be extra fun :)

    Great job logging the miles in everyone! For those that may not have heard, our group leader, Jason, had a fire incident at one of the properties he manages. Keep the folks dealing with this tragedy and the displaced folks in your thoughts and prayers. Jason thinks he will be MIA for the week as he deals with the loss.

    Happy running!! and to those with long runs scheduled this weekend, best of luck!!!

    Slow, little, short 2 miler this morning....takin in easy for tomorrow's 9/11 run...

    that is terrible about the fires ): hope people and properties will recover...

    I ran my race this morning and it was HARD! I went over 30 minutes, but I do feel I accomplished BUT wow Elliptical/Arc workouts or walking does not prepare you enough for pounding the road... it is way harder racing --- even if you do the same milage - I think I may have to switch things up and do more road and less Arc/elliptical - but I will do it slowly not to injure myself.

    Got in a 10 mile run on Saturday morning. 10:00 minute miles. My furthest run yet. Looking forward to running this week and am getting more and more amped up for the 1/2 Marathon!

    Keep logging those miles everyone!!!!

    Alright - my stern reminder has kicked in the previous 6 is now:
    9/8 -5.5
    9/9 -5.1
    9/11 -5.1

    For a grand total of 21.7.

    Long way to go but really enjoying the challenge! Looking forward to the cool down here in MN starting Tuesday - long runs in 55-60F weather are my favorite!

    Some very inspiring running stories on here this weekend. So motivating. I ran my second 5K on Saturday. I shaved 4 minutes off my time which made me feel good. I couldn't run the distance between 2 telephone poles in March so to run a 5K feels amazing. I can't run the entire length, but I finish.

    I'm at 57+miles for the month. Thanks for the motivation this thread offers. You are all amazing!

    Thanks! Unfortunately there was no local event, I know there was one in Colorado, Texas and Kansas I think. So, I decided to do my own little run in a small forest preserve with a 1.5 mile loop. It was pretty much self-supported except for my mom, girlfriend and a buddy who helped me out a lot with food, walking a loop or two here and there. Overall, it was an awesome experience.

    good for you for doing that!!

    I'm a lil slow still.. I sprained my foot.. right after the jacked rib got better.. maybe I shouldn't be running.. lol..

    as long as it doesn't hurt too bad, the dr says I'm good to go..

    Thanks for the update about Jason, and they will be in our prayers for sure. Hope the family got out safely.
    The 9 hours 11 minutes running....I bow down to you!! WOW!!!
    I'm still treading on. 100 was a lofty goal, but it give me something to shoot for. Lil off pace right now, but I'm still going!!!
    Happy running to all!
