@Timby1 What a run! Congrats! Circuit Training this am and a 4 mile hike up and down the hill with my family. Lovely time. We all walked fast as fast as we could. Tempted to count it toward the running goal, but didn't. 3 more days to get in about 13 more miles.

@7lenny7 -Hoping for 9:45 and getting 9:44! Awesome! Great run!!!

No workout, red. Yepper. That's almost always the case with me too. But on the upside of things, I try to remind myself of the whole week as opposed to just one day. Anyone else do that? It seems sometimes on high workout days, I do not eat as much and on the days I do not workout, I sit, starve and eat, eat, eat.

That's wonderful running weather @scoutmomof8 ! WTG getting a run in this am before that predicted heat! Have a great run tomorrow @7lenny7 ! We are all rooting for ya!!! @skippygirlsmom - Great dog photo! I found this one on the internet. I've made them the desktop often. 4miles recovery run- a day late.…

@italysharon I really like this thread too! Everyone is so encouraging, esp. on those runs where I'm thinking every minute "why am I doing this?" "If I stop now, I could have a better day of it tomorrow", "there's this, this, and that to do", and this one for sure-- "I've got to loose some of this weight first!" @ddmom0811…

So it seems you've got to have a smart phone to use that fancy app Miss @MzLaLa29 I'm behind time and so I don't have one But..... I'm going to try harder to log food. Thanks again for your encouragement. @Suede242 WTG meeting your calorie count even with eating candy. If you are like me, you may be tempted to pull that…

@jtarmom Great plan for taking care of that knee pain. I had a bout of that this and last month. Stretches for ITB helped, esp standing leg raise holds. @italysharon Awesome job! Way to go raising your goal up to 100! @RobertDupuy Wonderful run! Now logging hours not minutes! 5 very humid miles. Sometimes early running…

Why thank you @MzLaLa29 . I'll have to check that out. 4miles today

4miles today

A very merry start to our 3rd week MFP Kiddos! 9miles today. Trying to stay away from simple sugars. Doing better, praise God. But somebody yell at me for not logging food daily. I've gotta do that.

7miles today

@Beneita Gee wiz Miss Beneita, throw a bike into that mix and your our next Triathlete! Lovely day Sweetie!

Many blessings today Miss @CullinsK . Try to down that water. Hopefully the humidity is less for all today. Lovely bike ride Miss @Suede242 . 9 miles today here.

9 today- Less humid here. How about there?

Been off for a day- Happy Week 2 Ladies. Are you all loving this humidity? Got water? Got ice? Ready, set go! 5.5 miles here. More water in my running clothes than on towel after my shower!

@Timby1 - Yes grueling with this humidity, but you did it! Lovely determination! @68myra - Welcome. 5.5miles here

@downongreenacres - Yes Ma'am, putting all 3 areas in place at the same time requires much diligence. Nice goal for days 8-21. @CullinsK - Nice water intake and lovely run/walk! @Suede242 - We've all had days like that. Today's a new one. Try not to think back to yesterday. There are hard ones, really hard ones, but you…

@mwyvr -I did a series of stretches specifically for IBS this am. Thought to split today between walking and running. Felt pretty good & completed 5miles (more running than walking! PTL) Thank you again @Elise4270 - I'm sorry to hear that you suffer with these. You certainly push through nicely! Continue to do what you're…

@Elise4270 - Thanks for the thoughts about my knees. They are less swollen tonight and I'm hoping to run tomorrow am. @mwyvr - I appreciate your tip for stretching too. I've been a lot of stretching to prevent plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis. Now, I'm going to check out IBS specific stretches now too, thank you…

@downongreenacres - I understand about having an open food diary. I tend to prioritize activity without giving much priority to healthy food choices. I've got to get back to documenting my diet. 5 mile walk today. I think my knees will be good to run on tomorrow! PTL

Both knees still clicking, swollen, and hurting when going downstairs or downhill. Walked today instead. 5mi Any advice besides RICE?

@CullinsK - way to go with reaching that water intake, the strength training and cardio workout! You are doing so well! @suede242- That's a lot of steps! (8miles!) KIU @MzLaLa29 - It's so nice to get out and take a walk in the middle of your workday. I'm praying your feeling better. @borntowin4me - You have some nice goals…

@missmelis98 - Doing well. Keep up the good work. @shanaber - WTG running in that weather, and even making it a fast one! It's coming our way. Early starts help. Ran 12 yesterday. Knees are clicking and still hurting. Had a fast walk this am of 3miles.

@MzLaLa29 - Oh, so sorry to hear. I'll be praying for you. It's terrible being sick in lovely weather. @downongreenacres - Yes! It would be nice to see some photos of your garden. Must be lovely to walk in on cool evenings. 12 miles this am.

12 today. Keep on running ya'all !!!

@downongreenacres and @MzLaLa29 - Thanks so much for starting this group and for the invite. My name's Katie. My goal is to run at least 108 miles in the month of June. I'm using a ticker (found at TickerFactory.com) to monitor my progress. These tickers are really helpful. I hope to post it with an update each day. Are…

@_nikkiwolf_ - I'm glad you shared your excitement over this race! Marathon, 10K, 1/2K, it's all running! Congrats too on getting under 30min! Very Speedy!!! @scoutmomof8 - Welcome! I started with C25K a few years ago and haven't stopped since (unless injured, so try not to get injured) Many blessings! Looking forward to…

@DonPendergraft - I love the photo! That's me for sure!

@skippysmom - sorry to hear you had a painful run yesterday. Better rest today. @SBRRepeat - lovely trail photo!!! 3.5 miles on these mountains.

@melissaulmen - Welcome! Glad you're joining us. When is your 5k? Many blessings on a speedy run! 6.43 miles here trudging up one side of these southwestern PA mountains and speed tiptoe-ing back down the other side them!
