I say "Yay". I have IBS and probiotics are the only way I can stay off of prescription medicine. They really help me with my stomach issues.

Like you, I'm a huge beer fan as well...especially microbrews and craft beers. I lost 20 lbs last year and have kept the weight off despite the weekend alcohol comsumption b/c I do log the beer into my calorie count for the day. One of the folks that posted to your thread stated beer is "nectar of the gods". Amen brother.…

Bump- Check out some the songs I don't already have. My favorite song changes - currently the song that gets me pumped up is: Melaonie Amaro's version of "Respect" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnSwQhF0C_c

Happy weekend! I ran 4.25 miles today. I ran 14.25 for the week and my ticker is up to date :)

Checking in for week 3. My ticker reflects the total mileage I have done for the month. I doubt I will be running today - too much being "Irish" yesterday :drinker: Hope you are having a great weekend!

Hi there- I ran 14.65 miles this week. :)

Did 6.5 miles today in the HEAT! Egads! It was almost 90 degrees here today. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Many, many thanks for setting this up again. You are awesome! My goal for March is 65 miles.

I was shy of my goal 65 by 10 miles :( Had fun participating in the challenge and it definitely kept me motivated :) Thank you for putting it together :smile:

Hi there- I didn't see my name on the spreadsheet, but I have been reporting in. Anyway, I was shy of my goal of 65. Are you doing a challenge for March? I would like to join in.

Hi there- I did 14.2 miles this week...which brings my overall total up to 24.2. Hope you are having a great weekend! :smile:

You really do. I can do about 3 miles on the dreadmill...then I am bored out of my mind. I am lucky I live in FL and don't have to use the dreadmill that often - I can run outside most of the time.

So far, so good with this challenge. Hope to step it up a bit this week. How's everyone else doing?:smile:

Thanks for doing this again! This challenge will definitely keep me motivated!

Please put me down for 65 miles. Thanks! :)

I married a man 5 1/2 years younger than me. We've been together for a total of 12 years (4 living in sin ;) 8 married) and are still very happy.

Felt good to run today. Due to a family emergency, I hadn't been able to get out and run for 6 days. I am probably not going to make the 100 mile goal this month, and I am OK with that. I am going to do what I can do and have fun trying :) Thanks for keeping track of us - LOove the spreadsheet!

Ran 5 tonight! Finally getting over this head cold :)

My most recent best run was the “Mid Summer Night Run” on August 27 with my good friend Rachel. It was one of the best races ever because: 1. Rachel was in town (She moved away from Florida in July) 2. It was unplanned – we had already run a race in the morning 3. The hot, humid weather took a break and was very pleasant…

Morning all! I have been updating my ticker as I run my miles; I just forgot to post the info here :( Anyway, I am almost at 30 miles so far for the month...I wanted to be further along with my goal, but since I am battling a head cold at the moment, I am OK with where I am at for October. Will be able to do more once I…

I am all about training plans. Someone on this thread already mentioned that. Find one for a beginner and stick with it! You'll be good to go in Feb :happy:

Good Morning- I ran 5 miles yesterday (10/3) and ran 13.1 miles on 10/1. My total so far is 18.1. Hope you all are doing well with your goals. Have a good one!

I'm in. Do I need to do anything else besides set up a ticker?

Me too. I am still going to follow along with the fitness challenges for October. Perhaps we can keep each other motivated?

I'm in...perhaps on my own...checking around for a team.

Posting so I view later...I need some new songs on my playlist, you all have given some excellent suggestions.

Whoops! I will do the summary thingy this week. Please count an challenge point for me for this past Friday. I did two challenges that day to makeup for Thurs.

September 12th I was re-reading my posts I forgot to include the Bushman challenge for Friday, September 9th. I didn't do any challenges on Thursday, but I did two on Friday. Today: Weight: 128 Daily Challenge = Bushman - Done! (I thought doing the entire globe jump - all 4 jumps - counted as 1. Happy to see I was wrong…
