For the week of 9/3 to 9/9: 14 miles September Total so far: 21 miles

I agree!

I live in Fleming Island!!!! Add me as a friend!!!

I've been told that long distance running is not the best method for losing weight as you need to fuel your body to be able to help cover the longer distances. I was losing in the beginning when I was running shorter distances and I kept to a 1200 calorie consumption. However, the longer runs I have... even though I'm…

I'll repeat what others have said: - Get fitted for a great pair of running shoes at a running specialty store.... best advice ever! - Start slowly... don't try to go all out and run at 6mph... If you are too winded, slow down.... walk.... - Follow the Couch-to-5K (C25K) training plan.... it really work-s!!! - Sign up for…

I've been horrible at reporting my weekly runs over the summer.... too many vacation days!!! 8/27 thru 8/31: 3 miles Total for August: 58 miles Far below my goal, but... it's just too dang hot here in FL!!!! 9/1 thru 9/2: 7 miles

17 for me this week..... total for the month so far = 55

Week ending 8/12: 20 Miles Week ending 8/19: 9.5 Miles Total for August: 37.5 miles

Please add an additional 3 miles for July that I forgot to send in.... for a total of 60 miles last month. For 8/1 thru 8/5.... 8 miles so far... not sure if I'll get any more in this weekend as we're heading out on vacation!!!

I still have 15-20 to lose and have been struggling for the last several months. I had only been doing cardio, but joined the local YMCA back in June. I'm doing some strength training as well as cardio now. Unfortunately, I'm still staying within a 3-5 pound range, and really struggling to make a dent. It doesn't seem to…

15 miles this week.... 57 this month so far!

I have a treadmill at home, or I go to the YMCA! But... If it's sometimes just a light rain, I'll go run in that... It's refreshing!!!

I have typically just been running and recently started to go to the YMCA for strength training, but..... I belong to a local running group and once it got too hot for our long runs on Saturday, we started doing shorter runs (3-4 miles) and then a stadium workout at the local High School. I LOVE it!!! We do a warm-up run,…

I love morning runs... when my schedule permits. I even set my alarm for 4am on Saturday AMs to run with a group at 5!!! It is tough to get out there early, but you just have to do it... you'll feel great all day. I have to ensure ALL my stuff is ready to go before I go to bed.... clothes, shoes, music, etc. The biggest…

I'll keep my August goal at 75 miles for August... and strive to achieve it. It's so dang hot and humid down here in FL, it's hard for me to get my runs in!! Most of my runs lately have been short -- 3-5 miles!

16 miles for me this week July total so far = 42 Not getting in as many miles this month because of the heat/humidity. Our group is doing stadium workouts on Saturdays, instead of long runs!!!

I have two kids and work full time and it can be daunting. But... if you want it bad enough, you make the time. And you learn to involve your family as much as possible with exercising and/or eating healthy. And.... you get up at 4am and workout!!!!

Only 10 miles for me this past week. Total so far for July = 26 miles

Bump... I need these recipes!

I'm doing the "Color Me Rad" run here in Jax, and I named our team, "Color of the Wind". Corny, but it was all I could think of!

I've been on vacation for the last 1.5 weeks, so.... I didn't input my last week of June numbers... so here they are: 6/25 thru 6/30: 13 miles; Total for the month of June = 77 miles Now.... on to July..... 7/1 thru 7/8: 16 miles; My goal for the month is 75 miles!

I don't work on my speed at all at this point. But... I think I have gotten a little faster as I've increased my mileage. I've read several places that as a new runner, just concentrate on endurance and mileage, and the speed will come later. I did try HIIT on the treadmill 1x this week and I may try that again in the…

Holy crap... That is my worst nightmare!!! Glad you got there with a few seconds to spare!!!

I think you do have to have a chip for your shoe to use the Nike app. Laura -- I'm not entirely sure of the settings for the Droid, but... I know on the iPhone, you have to make sure your "Location Services" is on... so it can locate you... to be able to use the GPS.

For the week of 6/18 - 6/24: 11 miles Total so far for the month of June: 64 miles

I was gonna say.... she peed like Jimmy Duggan!!! Haha!!! I'm jealous too... I have to get up in the middle of the night to pee these days (sometimes twice) because my bladder is so small!!!

Wow.... you look amazing.... what a transformation!!! Awesome job! You should be very proud of yourself and your accomplishments!!!

I just bought "Run Like a Mother" and "Train Like a Mother".... love those gals!!! Other than that, I just read Runner's World Magazine.... which I always find very informative!

I have an iPhone and use a FREE app called RUNKEEPER!! I love it!

11 minute mile is great!!! I've been running now for 6 months since completing C25K... and my pace ranges anywhere from10:00 to 11:30.... depending on time of day, temp, humidity, time of month, etc!!! So... you are doing fabulous!
