So, I got this idea from a friend of mine...but my goal for October is to run 50 miles!

I think this is a great short term goal to keep me going towards my final weight lost and fitness goals.

As of 10/4 I am 2.5 miles down and 47.5 to go! oh boy....

    Love it! I do this every month as well!! New goal every month, this month I'm doing my first 5k so my goal is to get my time down to around 30 minutes! I'm almost there and have just over 2 weeks to go!

    That's awesome! Maybe I'll do that too :) I keep signing up for races to keep me running, but a total mile goal would be fun, too!

    That's a great goal! I'm in a fitness 'group' on Facebook, and our goal is to do 130 miles by December 31st - 10 miles a week. :)

    I also have a personal goal for the month - see my ticker below.

    I'm running my first half marathon on November 5th. Nine months ago I could barely run a mile! :)

    This is a great way to start! That's about 12 miles per week...next thing you know you'll be going for 20 or 30 miles in a week! :wink:

    I guess I should add that all 50 miles will be run at a 7.5 pace (8 minute mile)
