Okay, I downloaded Kegel Trainer and set a couple of reminders per day on my phone. Definitely been wearing black pants at the gym! And taking a change of underwear for afterwards @_@

Thanks everyone! Clarewho, do you have an app you recommend??

Also Australian (although living in the US now!). I haven't lost any yet, just at the start of my journey, but you and pewpewkapow are excellent inspiration!!!

Okay the xrays yesterday showed only soft tissue damage, no breaks/fractures, so I'm on instructions to rest for a week and take a boatload of anti-inflammatories to reduce the swelling, but yay I can try running again next week! In the meantime, I'll look for some new shoes. I am never really sure how tight to tie the…

Thank you, I have an appointment this morning, hopefully she can give me the all clear! My shoes are Saucony Hurricane 15's. They're ~6 months old, so it's probably time for a new pair.

I'm a bit late but I'll aim for 50 miles this month. Last month I tried for 60 and just missed, but I've got various aches and pains, possibly from pushing too hard last month, so I'll scale back a bit and go for 50. January 2: 5.00 miles, total 5.00 miles January 5: 5.18 miles, total 10.18 miles January 8: 3.71 miles,…

Okay, I am going to try again for 100km. Got to 95.5km in December!!! December 2: 5.00 miles/8.05 km Total: 8.05/100

Boooo, I missed by <5km. I didn't pull up well after my fast run on Dec 30 so wasn't able to go out on Dec 31. But I came really close to my goal (95.5 km of 100!) and will try again in January!

December 3: 4.62 miles December 5: 5.00 miles December 7: 3.88 miles December 8: 4.00 miles Didn't get a long run in this weekend due to the rain yesterday and doing a hilly trail run with a friend today (was hoping for 5 today but it was hillier than I expected) but still, I'm a quarter of the way there and it's a quarter…

December 3: 4.62 miles December 5: 5.00 miles December 7: 3.88 miles Only 3.88 miles today - was aiming for more like 6 miles but it started raining really heavily 20 minutes into the run so I had to turn around and come back because I was worried about how wet my phone was getting! Will try again tomorrow.

Well done everyone! Planning some longer runs on the weekend so hoping to make a dent in my total. Ashley, I just went to tickerfactory.com, made a ticker, and copied the bbcode into my post. I don't know how to make the distance ones appear in the signature, only the weight ones.

December 3: 7.43 km, total 7.43 km.

5.00 miles/8.05 km this morning! I remember three months ago, running 5 miles in 49-something minutes, I wanted to die, and I couldn't walk for two hours afterwards. Today I ran 5 miles in 47-something minutes and was only running moderately hard and felt fine at the end. Yay progress!

Dec 3: 4.62 miles/7.44 km

Does this work?

Okay, I'm in for 100km (62 miles). WE CAN DO IT!!! I need to combat all the holiday eating and laziness. @_@ Ooooh I'll make a ticker!

That sounds seriously hardcore, RR.

Woohoo! Nice.

I ran a 5K race today and knocked more than a minute off my best time!!

I ran 8 miles yesterday! :glasses: :love: :devil:

I eat out regularly, but hardly ever Italian, partly because of this dilemma and partly because I worked as a waitress in an Italian restaurant when I was a teenager and it turned me off for life! :P But it's true that I should just try to enjoy it - was just curious if there were some healthier choices I could be leaning…

Thanks Watto - how long do you usually do it for? I imagine it hurts, because I was trying to massage mine a bit before and it was so sore! Hahaha.

Before I started the program I was running 3 miles a couple of times a week, although I'd never sustained that for very long - I used the running more as a fill-in when the gym didn't line up with my schedule, etc. But I had no problem running 3 miles and had done a couple of 5K races, so I figured that was a good base.…
