I'm in! Trying for 150 again.

Only made it to just shy of 120 miles. Next month I'm aiming for 150, and I'm going to make it happen.

Been house/cat-sitting for the past week and a half, and haven't been getting out much (especially with it being so dark in the evenings). Not going to make my goal. Perhaps next month!

Looks like I'm a few miles shy of half my goal at the halfway point of the month. Better kick it up a bit for the rest of the month!

Hi there, I'm Becca. I "graduated" C25K back in August, ran a 5K on Oct 3rd, and now I'm here. I'm a slow, slow runner - I ran the whole 5K in 46:24. I used Podrunner Intervals for C25K (and I felt like it really worked for me) so now I'm doing their 5K to 8K program, and will hopefully use their 10K program after that.…

I "graduated" from C25K back on August 19th, but my 5K wasn't until yesterday. I'm happy to report that I ran the whole thing (yay!) and that it was a personal best (YAY). It was a part of the Twin Cities (MN) Marathon weekend, so the medal I got for finishing is pretty darn awesome as well. I'm giving myself a week off as…

I had been doing my goal as per miles walked or ran that I tracked in MapMyFitness, but I really like the FitBit idea... I'll do that this month instead. I've been in lots of challenges with friends on FitBit so this would be a backup motivation! I'll aim for 150 and see where I land.

Hopefully this signals the end of the 220s. Bring on the fall!

Since I didn't make my August goal, might as well try for it again in September!

Lost all ambition at the end of August. Here's hoping for a better September.

Same here, expect I'm somewhere between 5'6" and 5'7" :lol: For me, the BMI calculators seem to say that around 155ish is when I wouldn't be overweight anymore so I'm also aiming for 160. First, though, I'd love to just get below 200! I'm with you, @firephoenix8!

Finished this morning! It definitely wasn't my best run, but I got through it. I am signed up for a 5K in October and am thinking about doing one in September. I also plan to keep increasing the time I'm running (in a similar manner to the last few weeks of C25K) as I am definitely not running a full 5K in a half hour…

Did W9D3 this morning. Hey, I graduated! The first half of the run was okay, the second half felt like I was running through water. Not my best, but I finished. Congrats and good luck to everyone else working on their C25K journey! This thread is my favorite thread on MFP, I love coming here and reading everyone's posts at…

I, too, am nowhere near 5K after the 40 minutes of activity. My plan is to increase the times in a similar pattern for the next few weeks - do three runs of 33 or 35 minutes (not including warmup and cooldown), then three runs at 38 minutes, then 40 minutes, and so on until I'm closer to 5K. And once I get closer then I…

I'm late checking in for a Saturday morning run, but I was in a place with very little phone data coverage and no internet access. I did my W9D2 run at a rustic outdoors camp that I used to work at (I was up there for a reunion of former campers and staff). It completely kicked my butt because I was running on gravel roads…

Did W9D1 last night (woohoo last week!). Felt decent through most of it until I faded at the end. After circling back to my food diary, I think I'll be making adjustments on evening running days to what I'm eating so I have enough calories at 8pm to run for 30 minutes.

W8D3 completed. Body wasn't happy with me the entire way, and then I actually felt physically hungry before the cooldown walk. Definitely need to eat some more calories to burn on running days, I guess? On weekdays I run in the evening, typically 2-3 hours after dinner. Tonight was more like 3.5 hours after, that may have…

W8D2 done, best average pace yet. Felt great going into it, and felt great coming out of it. This is how I wish it would be every time!

I know I posted earlier this morning, but... I was a bit depressed about how I hadn't lost anything. And just now I had the realization that the capri pants I'm wearing right now were tight on me a couple months ago when I bought them. Now they fit my hips fine and are lose in the thighs. Yay for a non-scale victory! I'm…
