I'll be the voice of alternative logic for this thread. First I need to say that I have nothing against the various training plans that are promoted here and various other places on the web. That being said, they aren't completely necessary. On 7/2/2012 I ran my first non-stop mile in nearly 30 years. Today I ran my first…

6 days. It was taken at the finish line of my New Year's day 5K.

I live to run. I love to run. I have determined that people don't quit running when they get old, they get old when they quit running. 20 years ago the sight of a beautiful woman jogging down the street inspired lust, now it just causes jealousy. Yep, I'm definitely hooked on running.

Last night was the first time that I watched the show. I'm glad that I didn't watch it before I started my own fitness plan. I think that it could give people who are new to diet and exercise a wrong impression of what it takes to get healthy.

January 7 - 3.81 miles WTD - 3.81 MTD - 21.2 Miles to goal - 53.8

January 1 - 2.84 miles January 3 - 4.08 miles January 4 - 3.28 miles January 5 - 3.23 miles January 6 - 3.96 miles WTD- 17.39 MTD- 17.39 Miles to goal - 57.61

Layers rule. I have a pair of very thin thermal pants that I wear under running pants. Top half is a thermal top, wicking T-shirt or fleece and a running jacket. I read in Runner's World that you should dress as if it is 20° warmer to keep from overheating. I also tend to stick to running in the park. The park track I run…

The best part of running in winter is that you can run faster than the temps. 6 MPH in 5° makes me feel awesomely fast.

January 1 - 2.84 miles January 3 - 4.08 miles January 4 - 3.28 miles WTD- 10.2 MTD- 10.2 Miles to goal - 64.8

January 1 - 2.84 miles January 3 - 4.08 miles WTD- 6.92 MTD- 6.92

I haven't actually taken inventory but after losing quite a bit of weight and dropping several sizes, the majority of my clothes that fit are workout and running clothes.

January 1 - 2.84 miles WTD- 2.84 MTD- 2.84

75 miles in January starting with a 5K on New Year's Day.

December 30 - 2.51 miles Monthly total - 40.88 I finished no where near my goal for this month but I did get some much needed rest from aches and pains. I'll be starting the new year with a 5K race on the first. That will be the first 3 miles towards my goal of 1500 in 2013.

December 19 - 6.74 miles WTD - 6.74 MTD - 38.37 Miles to goal - 36.63

Doesn't it feel good to realize you're more productive than you thought.

December 13 - 6.14 miles WTD - 6.14 MTD - 31.63 Miles to goal - 43.37 Had to take a week off to fight a cold and various aches and pains. It felt so very good to get back out there tonight. Even after 10 hours of serving up Chick-fil-A it was a beautiful run.

December 3 - 2.15 December 4 - 4.15 December 6 - 3.54 December 7 - 3.08 WTD - 12.92 MTD - 25.49 Miles to goal - 49.51

I keep a supply of Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches in the freezer. Just 150 calories with 2mg fat, 4 mg protein and 3mg fiber. Makes for a nice bedtime treat and they are reasonably healthy.

December 3 - 2.15 December 4 - 4.15 December 6 - 3.54 WTD - 9.84 MTD - 22.41 Miles to goal - 52.59
