  • I did 4 miles on 12/13 and 4 on 12/14 bringing my monthly total to 31. I need to get in some longer runs in order to meet my goal this month! Though I think I should get double points for Saturday's run - 4 miles on wet trails pushing the double Bob stroller (about 100lbs betweent he kids and stroller). Fun but exhausting!…
  • 12/2 - 4 miles 12/4 - 3 miles w/ stroller 12/6 - 6 miles trails 12/8 - 5.5 miles (track workout including warm-ups, cool down) 12/9 - 4.5 miles 23 miles total, 77 left. I am starting a running challange with our local running group this weekend which should allow me to get to my goal no problem!
  • I run T/Th at 6am for 40-60 minutes depending on the day. Mondays are either Pilates or a track work-out in the evenings. Sat I do a longer run. Normal start time is around 6:30am. I like to get up and get it done otherwise it is too hard to make excuses. My husband likes evening workouts and so he goes for his swims after…
  • @shanaber - Happy Birthday and enjoy NorCal this weekend! @fabrine & skippygirlsmom - I don't run with the stroller much anymore now that they are older. I mostly just fit in runs around when my husband can watch them - ie early morning mostly. They are too heavy now (100lbs+ when both in the double Bob) and get bored…
  • Yup! My DH always tells my daughters "We need to let momma run or she will be cranky" lol I got in 3 miles this morning before work - with my 5 year old in the job stroller! She caught me as I was leaving and wanted to come. Makes 7 for the month. Only 93 more to go!
  • Ran 4 this morning in the pouring rain! Thank goodness for awesome running friends. I also figured out that I really need a new rain jacket to run in. I came home drenched and freezing. We haven't had much rain in the last few years however we have gotten some great storms this last month. So I told my husband that I would…
  • I am in for 100 miles - I only managed 72 in November but I am determined to get to 100 in December. I need to start ramping up my mileage for my April Marathon!
  • I'll join - a bit late! This will be a great motivator as the weather is getting colder/darker. I only run about 3 days a week (2 young kids - all I can get away for). Put me down for 100 miles for November. I will make a ticker - until then I have done: 11/1 - 13 miles (in the rain!) 11/2 - rest 11/3 - Pilates 11/4 - 3.5…
  • Oops - I just read your response in regards to having your baby unassisted homebirth. So no 6 week PP visit for you! :) I did homebirth with both mine but with a midwife there with me. I would say stick to at least 1600 hundred calories and wait a few more weeks before doing any sort ab work or intense exercise.
  • First off congrats on the new baby! I completely understand the desire to lose the baby weight fast but at 2 week PP you are not doing yourself or your baby any favors by cutting your calories way back and trying to push your self with exercise. My midwife told me with both my births to lay off the ab work and running…
  • The BOB is by far the best stroller out there in terms of jogging strollers. Check out your local craigslist for used ones. The hold up extremely well and have great resale value. I also want to stress that the wheel is safest in the locked (fixed) position when running. Yes it can be a pain at times (turns are tedious…
  • I am up for squats and crunches. Just started MFP this week.
