I just joined this challenge and have a question about the 10-13 mile walk/run.....may sound silly but do these miles have to be done in one day or throughout the week? (please say throughout the week...lol)
thanks0 -

My name is Alexa and I am 23 years old and live in Houston, TX for the moment. I started running a few months ago after a two year hiatus and it feels great. I somehow got talked into running my first half marathon with a few of my friends. It is in February and while I am pumped, I am not going to lie that I am a little scared too. I need to make sure Running is not the only thing I am doing though.
I ran/walked 4.57 miles today. I have avoided the elevator, but that is mostly because it is incredibly slow both at my apartment complex and at work and I am scared of getting stuck. lol. I am also working on my water for today and will be doing pushups and crunches today.0 -
My name is Kaleigh, I'm 21 years old, and I go to Texas A&M University.
Hey Kaliegh! I am a Texas A&M grad and my younger sister is still there. I love to see Aggies on myfitnesspal. It always makes me smile.0 -

Hi! I'm Wendy - am 44 and live in Toronto. I've been running (slowly) off and on for 3 years now and finally have bitten the bullet and signed up for a half marathon - so now have to get out there and get those training runs in! I think this challenge is just the sort of thing I need to keep me on track. The only thing I will have a problem with is the elevator part - since we can't get to/from the ground floor of my office building by the stairs except in an emergency - so instead I'll just take the stairs part way.
I did a 5K (3.2) mile run yesterday and already have taken the stairs twice today, so guess I am off to a good start.0 -
Hi folks! I'm Rashida, I live in MD and I walk/ran my first 5k in November. My goal is to be healther (clean eating) and more active (Wonder Woman style) and eventually try out for DC Roller Girls ( as soon as I learn how to skate :P) . Right now I'm currently at 215 (@ 5'10") but with logging in to MFP and cool people like you to push and inspire me I will be at 180 by July 4.
Today: 3 miles on the treadmill (walk/run) 140-175 bpm for 50 mins.0 -

Doing pretty good so far minus the walking. I will probably have to do it all Friday and Saturday while my husband is off until I can get my double stroller0 -
HI, i'm Carissa, 35, from Southern California, wife to William and mom to 5 children ages 7 to 17. I have gained and lost the same 20 or so pounds too many times. I have bronchial asthma and a heart murmur and sometimes I get discouraged when starting off because it seems like every time i get consistent with exercise I end up getting sick a couple of weeks in. :laugh: I seem to get pneumonia fairly easily because of my bronchial asthma-and when I get a simple flu it just hangs on and sticks around long after everyone else is better. I also have trouble getting enough iron and have chronic anemia, which sometimes makes me very tired. I know that when I am healthy it helps to alleviate the symptoms form my health problems, and i'm here, trying to get healthy again. I'm really tired of the cycle i'm in: lose weight and get healthy, get sick and burned out, gain weight and get even more sick from having unhealthy habits. lol! I'm really hoping 2012 is the year that I just make it a consistent thing rather than on again off again.
I am going to try really hard on this challenge. I have the week 1 list in my blog so that I can keep track of stuff as I complete it. I guess I didn't realize exactly how bad off I was healthwise until yesterday when I went to the gym to do the miles. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill and just keeping it at a 3.0 had me wheezing! I was pretty surprised. I'm gonna keep on chugging along trying to get as close as possible to the goals listed though.
