My 15 yo DD and I went on a 5 mile run downtown and caught the sun rise. I usually run by myself with my CD player but between the beautiful views and the company it was truly enjoyable.

5 miles for me this morning. :smile: Alisha, I hope that you feel better soon.

What a great idea! :laugh:

Oops, I missed the quote button. :embarassed:

I just ordered My Fitness Coach. I'll report back once I have used it a few times. I do want to clarify this is *not* the Wii Fit or Wii Jillian Michaels. Apparently My Fitness Coach is on back order and ships in 2-3 weeks.

Got in my 3 1/2 miles this morning. I'll be working all day tomorrow and Thursday so I won't be able to run. :sad: Happy New Year! :drinker:

I don't like them at all.

I'm glad that you asked about this. Our family just got a Wii and I like the hula hoop games and the yoga/strength parts for toning. I feel my abs and hips in ways I have never felt before, LOL. I was hoping that I could use Wii Fit for cardio on days when the weather makes it hard or impossible to run outdoors. So far I…

It sounds like this is exactly what I am looking for. I know that the reviews are good but would also appreciate feedback from MFPers. Reposted from the hula hoop thread: following.

I got 4 miles in this morning. Wishing everyone a good run/workout/rest day!

After 2 1/2 weeks being snowed in I finally got in a 3 1/2 mile run, then took the chains off my van. I'm not sure which one was more of a workout! :laugh:

I only did 2.5 miles, slowly too. But I feel better than if I did not run. :wink:

I ran my first race in 23 years on Saturday. It was a 5K and I told my family to meet me at the finish line 40 minutes after the start. (I had tried to go fast on my regular 3.5 mile route a few days before and it took me 43 minutes.) They weren't there yet because I finished in 30:36. I am still shocked.

I did a 3 1/2 miles this morning in 45 min. I have a 5K race this Saturday and I hope to break 40 min. but now I'm not sure that is realistic. Oh well, there will be pancakes after the race, LOL! Stay cool everyone!:drinker: Oops, I was logged in as my husband.:blushing:

I did 6 miles with two 10 minute rests, one to take in the waterfront and one to see my girls do new tricks on the monkey bars and the wiggle board.

My race is 5 miles. I know that is not much considering the company here, but I am psyched because I know I can do it. Thank you all for the inspiration. :flowerforyou:

I have been insanely busy at my 2 jobs and 5 kids out of school but today I had to post: I did 5 miles for the first time since highschool!! I have only been running 2-3 times per week but I have been bike commuting 2 days per week and now 4 miles is my short run. And I registered for my first race since highschool. Woohoo!

:laugh: That is how I felt today. I did my 4 miles this evening and 3 3/4 miles last night.

Kechie, Congratulations on your 8 miles.:flowerforyou: Terry, Wow! that's over 2 hours of running at once.:drinker: Pam, Thanks for the motivation and know that I'm on your tail. :laugh: I hope to increase my distance to 5 miles by the end of summer. I did my 4 mile run this morning, a first in that I ran 4 miles yesterday…

I got my second 4 mile run in today so I met my weekly goal of 2- 4 mile and 2- 3 1/2 mile runs this week and I threw in an extra 2 1/2 mile run for mental health, LOL!

I am a big believer in listening to your body. You know the benefits of fitness and will be able to do a long run when it is right for you, it might even come on a "short run" day. :flowerforyou:

Mee too!:smile: And I counted seven other runners berween 5:50 and 6:25, woohoo to all of us out there!:drinker:

Got 3.5 miles in this afternoon. :smile:

Wow Kechie thanks for sharing how you started. I just assumed that you had been seriously running for years considering how long you run now. I do feel pretty safe jogging in my neighborhood. Many people look weird here :laugh: but there are always people around, even at 5 am. I definitely need my headphones but I turn the…

LOL, that was such a vivid picture. You are too funny! :laugh:

I have an autistic son and 4 girls, one who is recovered from autism. MFP is a great tool that helps me take care of myself so that I can better take care of others. We are all in this together. :flowerforyou:

Got my 4 miles in today. My plan for the week is to do 2-4 mile runs and 2- 3 1/2 mile runs.

Wow Kechie, how inspiring!:drinker: Congratulations to all who ran today. :smile: I bike commuted to work today but plan to run tomorrow.

Wow thalli1 ten miles is fantastic! I did my 4 mile run and now I feel great!
