Today the weather outside was gorgeous! Started my run at 62 degrees and ended at sunset with a nice breeze. I overheat quickly and got a little warm about halfway through, but then the breeze kicked in and I was fine. In fact, I was so fine I did 4.3 miles instead of 3.5. It was one of those runs that remind me why I love…

Today called for my long run. Because I postponed my Thursday run for Friday, my legs were still pretty sore today which made today’s run a little sucky, which I’ll keep in mind for future weeks. February runs: 2/1: 3.5 miles 2/2: 5 miles Cumulative total for February: 8.5/55 or 63.5 miles

@avidkeo I’ve also got an orange tabby cat and we decided to name him Fanta! Some of our other choices were Simba, Dorito, Cheeto, Pumpkin, Mango, and Nemo! Congratulations on the addition to the family, he’s absolutely precious ❤️

Like promised, made it to the gym for my scheduled run after work, so February is off to a good start. February runs: 2/1: 3.5 miles Cumulative total for February: 3.5/55 or 63.5 miles

Alrighty, February goal! I did the math and according to my half marathon training plan I’ve got to do 63.5 miles this month. I’m gonna cut myself some slack and give myself a little wiggle room though and set my goal for February at 55 miles, with a stretch goal of 64 miles. Heading to the gym after work today to get in…

I ended up missing my January goal thanks to both weather problems( I didn’t even know snow squalls existed, let alone experienced them) and pure exhaustion yesterday. I started back at university this week and it’s been both physically and mentally exhausting. I have a killer commute and juggling school and a job and…

Today marked the start of week 3 of half marathon training. Slow 3.5 miles on the treadmill in my university’s gym. January miles: 1/1-1/15: traveling and exploring Europe! 1/16: 3.1 miles 1/17: 1 mile 1/18: 3.1 miles 1/19: 4 miles 1/22: 3.1 miles 1/24: 3.3 miles 1/26: 4 miles 1/29: 3.5 miles Cumulative total: 25.1/30 miles

Another “long run” today. Officially done with week 2 of my half marathon training plan. Next week the plan is amping up to two 3.5 mile runs, a 2 mile run, and a 5 mile long run. Yay! January miles: 1/1-1/15: traveling and exploring Europe! 1/16: 3.1 miles 1/17: 1 mile 1/18: 3.1 miles 1/19: 4 miles 1/22: 3.1 miles 1/24:…

Hi everyone! I’m Amirah, I’m 19 (20 next month though), and I’d love to have friends to help motivate me that are around my age. Im a workout fanatic but eat terribly, resulting in me having to lose about 30 pounds. Add me! I’m training for a half marathon right now and I’d also love some runner friends :)

Today’s run was miserable. I just started taking Zoloft to help with anxiety/depression issues yesterday and have been experiencing some not so great side effects as my body adjusts to the drug. One of these side effects is excessive sweating and overheating, which made running hard. I’m hoping this med helps without the…

I’ve decided to go with Tuesday’s, Thursday’s, and Saturday’s for my half training plan. Week 2 has officially begun! Today’s run actually felt really nice. I donated blood a couple of days ago and made the mistake of trying to run early the next morning. I didn’t even make it a quarter of a mile before I had to stop cuz…

Long run #1 is complete! @eleanorhawkins thanks for sharing your experience! Hopefully this plan will successfully get me a finishers medal at my half in April! I suspect my workout tomorrow will consist of shoveling a foot and a half of snow off my car and driveway 🙄 January miles: 1/1-1/15: traveling and exploring…

Week 1 of half marathon training is nearly over! My long run scheduled for tomorrow is 4 miles, which hopefully will be a piece of cake as I’m accustomed to running that distance already. Anyone else following Hal Higdon’s beginner half marathon training plan? January miles: 1/1-1/15: traveling and exploring Europe! 1/16:…

Wasn’t planning on running until tomorrow, but I was feeling myself after Zumba and spontaneously decided I was going to hop on the dreadmill and run my fastest mile ever! And I succeeded! Official time: 10:50! I know that’s slow for many of you on this thread, but I only started running in April 2018 and was averaging 14…

Y’all this is too much 😂 I usually obsessively follow this thread and include it in my daily(or hourly) social media checks, but I hadn’t looked at it in 2 weeks while out of the country. 4 hours reading through the thread and I’m still 20 pages behind 😂😭

Hey everyone I’m back! As expected, no running took place during my 2 week visit to France & Belgium. I came back last night and headed right to the gym this morning and was bombarded by all the New Years resolutioners in the gym, but I got my run in finally! I found that I was actually craving running during my vacation…

Hello again everyone! I’m putting myself down for 30 miles this month, because I’ll be on vacation for the first half of the month and am not sure if I’ll be able to run while I’m gone. Starting my first half marathon training plan the day I get back! As for my running goal for 2018, it’s to train for and complete my first…

12/1: 3.1 miles 12/3: 2.7 miles 12/5: 5 miles 12/7: 3.5 miles 12/8: 4.1 miles 12/10: 2.6 miles 12/12: 7.5 MILES! 12/14: 2.7 miles 12/17: 3.1 miles 12/18: 3.1 miles 12/23: 3.1 miles 12/26: 3.3 miles 12/28: 3.2 miles Total for December: 47/50 miles

Turns out that me feeling a little better on Sunday morning was a fluke. Spent the night with a marvelous stomach bug that knocked me out for a good 3 days. I’m pretty sure I’m good now though! My run was hard today but I got it done 12/1: 3.1 miles 12/3: 2.7 miles 12/5: 5 miles 12/7: 3.5 miles 12/8: 4.1 miles 12/10: 2.6…

Not feeling 100% better, but I was able to run today without any nausea, so I’ll consider that a win. Will most likely just hit my goal for the month 12/1: 3.1 miles 12/3: 2.7 miles 12/5: 5 miles 12/7: 3.5 miles 12/8: 4.1 miles 12/10: 2.6 miles 12/12: 7.5 MILES! 12/14: 2.7 miles 12/17: 3.1 miles 12/18: 3.1 miles 12/23: 3.1…

I haven’t run since tuesday :( stomach was bugging me yesterday and I didn’t wanna risk shaking the contents of my stomach around too much, and felt no better this morning Sigh

Pushing my run that I planned to do today to Friday, because my legs are being weird and I don’t want to risk any chance of getting injured and not being able to run. Walking instead yay! I’m not used to running several days in a row either so I guess it’ll take some getting used to.

Usually Tuesday’s are a rest day for me, as I’m accustomed to having classes all day, but as of today winter break has begun! Meant to take it easy and go out for one mile as fast as I could and maybe walk a couple of miles. However, that didn’t work because within a couple of minutes my heel was literally throbbing, so I…

Complete my first half marathon, hopefully in March or April but anytime during the year will do!

My legs seem to have recovered! Yay! Ran a very pleasant 5k before zumba, woot woot! 12/1: 3.1 miles 12/3: 2.7 miles 12/5: 5 miles 12/7: 3.5 miles 12/8: 4.1 miles 12/10: 2.6 miles 12/12: 7.5 MILES! 12/14: 2.7 miles 12/17: 3.1 miles Total for December: 34.3/50 miles

Yes! More Harry Potter fans! Well, I think it’s more of a Harry Potter obsession for me. I reread the books all the time and do Harry Potter movie marathons every couple of months. My two cats are named Dobby and Malfoy! I went to the wizarding world of Harry Potter at universal studios in Florida a couple of years ago and…

I planned to run 4 miles yesterday, but when I got to the gym and tried, I had some pretty excruciating pain in my calves and my shins, so I walked instead. This morning I figured I’d try again, but my legs are still super sore so just zumba and walking for today as well. The pain only occurs when I’m running for some…

Another hard run today. I don’t think my legs have fully recovered from the 7.5 miles on Wednesday and I’m feeling some shin pain in my left leg, so I tried to take it easy today. I did a 5k today but I subtracted the approximate distance of it I ended up walking. 12/1: 3.1 miles 12/3: 2.7 miles 12/5: 5 miles 12/7: 3.5…

Well, I lied. No 4-5 miles for me today, because I JUST RAN 7.5 MILES!! Holy *kitten*! My longest distance ever! I’m literally on cloud 9! And I did it on a dreadmill and ENJOYED IT! 12/1: 3.1 miles 12/3: 2.7 miles 12/5: 5 miles 12/7: 3.5 miles 12/8: 4.1 miles 12/10: 2.6 miles 12/12: 7.5 MILES! Total for December: 28.5/50…

Good morning all, Just stopping by to say I WILL be running 4-5 miles today. Posting here to make sure I’m held accountable 😂
