No set # goal just a streaking goal to run at least a mile everyday! Most days are 2-6 miles :) today was 3.1 for May the 4th virtual I did lol

I just started training for my first full this year! Chicago marathon :)

FIRST MARATHON AT THE CHICAGO MARATHON THIS YEAR!!! :) I'm a little excited!

Started training for my first marathon ( Chicago Marathon) on Sunday... I ran the Star Wars Half marathon at Disney World. I thought it would be fun to start with a half and end with a full. I love Star Wars so it was a good time on the course! :)

This past weekend I ran a 5k on Friday/ 10k Saturday and half marathon on Sunday at Disney for dark side challenge! It was a blast!

Great question! I need to follow.. In November I have a 5k in the morning then at 10pm a half marathon! I really didn't think about eating until now. :/

CONGRATS FOR GETTING OUT THERE AND DOING IT!!! :)

Another newbie runner/ weights. Currently i only do my husbands free weights he has around the house. I don't ever make it to the gym with 5 kids so i do what i can with what i have.

Amazing great job!!!

One last weekend with ESPN... one tonight, one monday night and one tuesday night... and i have one i did a few weeks ago with my son! :)

I spend about $800 a month- $1000 but there is 7 of us... i have 5 kids that eat EVERYTHING in sight!

Hello i'm Jennifer... I'm a momma of 5. I'm NOT a runner but want to be. I only ran hurdles in high school and pretty much stopped at that. Last year i decided i wanted to be a runner, I signed up for my first ever 5k and 10k which i ran both this past Feb. I loved it! Not sure if it was the BLING i was running for or Just…

Thank you!!

That's awesome! I haven't ran in MONTHS so starting over again! i ran a mile yesterday! LOL sounds pathetic! But it's a start! Good luck training i'm working up to a good 3miles so i can start my actual half marathon training in a few months! :)

Thanks everyone!! :)

Thank you all! i'm just catching up! i had no idea anyone even responded! :)

STILL LOOKING FOR MORE RUNNERS! THANKS FOR THE RESPONSES LADIES!

Thanks! Sent request! :)

That's awesome! i did start my c25k program starting week 2 this week! :) and when i don't do the program i try to run at least a mile. It's hard cause i have 5 kids and don't always get the time to get out of the house especially for 30 mins! So on those days i try for a mile!

I signed up for my first 5k at Disney in Feb 2014 but thinking about doing the 10K as well the very next day. there is a local neon run 5k in sept. that will be my very first race.

Oh i know i need more clothes... I wore a normal workout pants to run in when it was humid outside! OMGoodness! i was so itchy it in. NEED MORE CLOTHES! lol

THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTIONS! I might need a new outfit. I got really itchy when i started getting sweaty in my current outfit! Wasn't good!

OMG GREAT TIP to know.... breathing. I don't think i was breathing like i should be when i was running the mile! I will look into that!!!

Very good points, thanks! I want to walk a 5k using my gps on my phone so i know exactly how far a 5k is in perspective. Then I'm going to try that c25k

Thanks and CONGRATS, that's awesome!

No i'm not going to run with the stroller. Disney doesn't allow running with stroller you have to walk... my husband will be doing that with our 3 little ones. We have 5 kids all together! :)

Thank you for all your advice!!! :) I can't wait for Disney! I'm going in Dec as well so i can kinda check out the course. it's through epcot! :)

I just down loaded it onto my phone!!! :) Where you a runner to begin with??

LOL thanks! i thought i was going to die after that first mile the first day. I have never been a distance runner! :)
