I am doing 50 miles this month. I'll be back this morning to report my first run after I wake up a bit.

5/4 = 5.00 miles 5/15 = 3.13 miles 5/19 = 8.02 miles 5/22 = 4.32 miles 5/24 = 9.02 miles 5/31 = 10.04 miles _________________ 39.53 miles total 10.47 miles until goal Didn't make it this month but I'm fired up to make it next month. Start it out with a 5k/Half re-run.

@emmy15rocks, there's a lot of decent apps or inexpensive gear to help. Nike+, Runkeeper, and several others. I use Nike+ on my iPod and it's pretty dang accurate.

Welcome back. It's not a linear process, so don't sweat it. You've already done it before, so there's no doubt it can be done. That's half the battle right there.

I'm in for 50 again this month. Made it just short of that last month due to some familial complications. Hoping I have a better run of luck this month.

@ddmom0811 I think the guy would be less scary to me. I know how to disable a guy, but a opossum is another matter altogether. And every animal can get aggressive if they feel backed into a corner or if there are babies involved. On top of that, there was a report of a couple cases of rabies in a city about 45-60 minutes…

I've done it so many times before, so I'll admit I was daydreaming a bit. When you know exactly…

Thank you, everyone. For my first race, it's definitely memorable. @skippygirlsmom I guess the boy did have his dad at the end of the pack. I just didn't know it at the time. Even knowing that, I think I still would have stopped for him regardless. He was breathing really heavy, just sounded painful. I have six kids and…

Thank goodness it wasn't my long run today. I did end up recording my fastest mile so I can't help but wonder what it would have looked like…

I'm in again. Going to say 50 but I'm hoping for much more.

You're welcome to add me if you like.

I've had so many do-overs that I've lost count. It wasn't so much a motivational thing for me, but a patience thing. I suddenly noticed the weight I gained over a couple of years and I wanted to suddenly find it gone. I'd feel hopeless when it didn't move fast enough for me, like it was never going to happen. Irony being…

https://youtu.be/kpA-FsKLA6A I was feeling a little self pity because I'm on a run restriction and it's been so beautiful outside this last week. Then I see this and oh the feels!!! Now I'm crying because in five weeks I'll be out there again for the rest of my life and not everyone will get that chance. Everyone needs to…

I didn't read every post, so I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but I think her eating/weight is really dancing around the real issue. She's hurting. You can't fix it and as a mother myself, I feel pretty dang worthless when I can't fix my babies' pain. So you focus on the byproduct of that pain and the one thing…

Had surgery myself less than a week ago. I was so bloated from the experience that it looked like I gained back every pound I had lost in the last two and a half months. I'm seriously hoping that I haven't set myself back and I hate that I have 5 more weeks that I can't do anything which impacts my core. I did get…
