I'm in for 400 a conservative miles this month. Im at 348 right now...

Ran 312 miles of my 300 mile goal as of date. There is another 5 days left, so I probably will rack up another 60 or so miles. :)

I'm also in!! Woohoo! See you all there. Still looking for Stow's monthly challenge

Or was it 13.1... I think it was 13.17 or something like that... Not quit .2

Lol... I just love to run... And fun a lot :) .. I did 400+ miles last month. Running a 50k next week and my dumb *kitten* haven't started tapering yet. I tried to stop running this morning but my legs wouldn't stop until it hit 13.2!!! Whoohhoo!! I'll try and taper when I pace my friend to her first BQ in November but I…

Hi!!! I'm in for 300 miles :smile:

5'5 CW: 123 GW: 118 Want to see if less weight will add speed...

I'm in! My husband wouldn't mind so its a win win situation right there!

Running solves most problems!

I recommend running :)

I'd put you as moderately active to be on the safe side. Lightly active seems too low.

I'm with the 'just break up' crew

Where do you live? Could I be your running partner... would love to see what you are talking about to better assess the situation. Strictly to help you babe.

I couldn't do this... carbs are energy source, you need energy for running.

eat when you are hungry... and breakfast is the first meal of the day :wink:

no

Wow you are bad *kitten*!! Seriously! Good job!

I think you should be fine in 6 weeks. You'll have more confidence to run that marathon after our ultra :-)

You kind of have to see what works best for you. I eat until I'm full. However, when I'm training for a really long run say a marathon or longer, I try to run on empty occasionally. Not particularly to lose weight, but to train my body to go for longer without fuel (I have a tendency of not being able to eat much during a…

Meat (since my husband as a tendancy to not finish his plate and I have a tendency to clean up after him. He eats meat and I don't so less to clean up :-)), peanut butter, anything with mint in it, anything with coconut in it. Also, don't drink alcohol.. So grateful! Lol

You should also get some insights from Davemunger... He is also a veteran. I'd suggest just messaging him. He is pretty cool and awesome.

All I said was you should pump that baby up to 60 rpms and don't go below intensity of 8.... You are a hell of a runner, you runner chick you... Stop short changing yourself and start killing your elliptical workout! Also, don't come off until you've completed at least 20 minutes!

This, my only adjustment is... if you are feeling good and rested for the second marathon, also race that one as well. :-)

I know stopping sucks, but sometimes it's just best... The dog could have bitten you because it was startled.

But why would you run between a woman and her puppy though... that's mean :-(

I cut about 30 minutes from my first half time at the second half. But then again, I've only ran about 5 half races in my lifetime. Lesson learnt: have fun and enjoy it. It's pretty cool having water and Gatorade along the way for a long run.

to add to all: Don't eat something unknown the night before or day of the race. You don't want to be the person known for crapping his/her pants!!

I agree with this! you'd be safer to take baby steps first. I'd try for an 8min 30 sec mile though since 9 to 8 is still a significant jump. But that's just me since I'm one of those slacker runners...

Umm... You did Pike's Peak? You are golden! Have fun and you are gonna crush that ****!
