I am working on getting lean before my September wedding. If i post daily how much I have run, I will stay on track, and hopefully, reach my goal of 100 miles. Kinda like that movie, Julie and Julia. My one requirement....I must run the entire distance. No walking. I know that walking is great, and can actually burn more calories than running, but i dont want to give myself an excuse to stop when I am tired. I am an all or nothing kind of gal. Gotta go big or go home. Actually, I just need to give myself strict boundaries. Wish me luck!!
(Please let me know if I have made a math error. Thanks!!)
Heres what I have accomplished this week
Date Miles Ran Miles to go
Sunday June 5th: 3 97
Monday June 6th 1.5 95.5
Tuesday June 7th 1.5 94
Thursday June 9th 1.5 92.5
Wow, that sounds exhausting! Good luck!
*takes another bite of her chipwich*
@Sschaf: Hm. I might have to try this. I'm dog sitting a lab for 3 weeks this summer and he's used to running 3 miles a day, so I think I'd be able to knock some of that out when I have him :) lol
Oooohhh I think I'll do this too! Sounds like fun :-) I am a big runner who got sidelined for a while due to some injuries, so I am just getting back into things. This sounds like the perfect goal. Thanks for the idea. Good luck to you!
Count me in! 100 days to 100 miles, sounds like a challenge.
Awesome! I would love to have a long-distance running buddy!
:) thanks! I miss chips...
yay!! so excited to see other interested runners! totally doable, IMO, 3 months, 100 miles. mile a day- or so.
@Sschaf: haha, I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. My heeler and I "run" (read:run at first then gimpy jog/walk thing at the end) 2-3 miles a day. But this lab is no joke, he full on RUNS for 3 miles. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna die. lol
Yay! Thanks for the encouragement. 300 miles! wow youre a pro. I will have to come to you for advice in these hot months :)
@Sschaf:Haha seriously it sounds CRAZY but it really is addicting. After I take a rest day or I'm really busy and I can't get my run in I can just feel the stress building! After I run I'm way less likely to freak out over our seating arrangement or RSVPs, etc. It really really helps!
I wanna join in! I'm trying to get myself back in shape, last summer I was running every day but this summer I have yet to get my motivation back. I ran this morning so I'll start off with that run:
Friday June 10th ran 2.6 miles Miles to go 97.4
I want to join- I run 10-20 miles per week right now. This week is slow because i hurt my foot last week. I'll log my weekend runs!
@Running Elley: I have GOT to get back into running in the morning! I used to do that all the time, but for some reason I've been sleeping instead :)
Okay Bees,
I was planning on running 1.5 miles yesterday after my soccer game but...
20 minutes into the game I went up for a header against this guy who, as my fiance describes him, was about 6 inches taller than me. We collided heads. He got a knot in his head, I got a gash. So, i spent my evening in Urgent Care, and now I have a large bandage over my left eyebrow.
So, i will be taking a couple days off of running. Which I am actually totally bummed about because I am quite excited to reach the 100 mile mark. And now, I have to worry about covering up a scar for my wedding. At least I feel pretty bab-a$$ about the whole injury ;)
@Sschaf: On no! That sounds like a brutal hit! I hope you're feeling ok and your battle wound heals ok.
I started running, so my first log:
Saturday June 11th: 7 Miles, 93 miles to go!
Just been, so here's my first log!

Wow, this sounds awesome! I want to join the fun! My wedding is next April and I want to look smokin hot!!! I have about 25 pounds to lose so this would be a good way to get started.
June 12- Did a 4 mile run today :)

@Sschaf: That sucks! No more injuries before your wedding!
Maybe you could try polysporin or something to help heal better/faster.

This is great! I'm going to join you ladies! Right now I have an upper respiratory infection, so that isn't going to help, but I will jump on board as soon as I kick this! Does treadmill running count, or just outdoor miles?
@7SEVENJ9: I was wondering the same thing myself. So far I have only counted outside miles (which is what I do when I am training for a race anyway), but I do sometimes run on the treadmill when I'm at the gym.
I haven't been able to start yet, due to illness, but I have a treadmill at home for those really yucky days... anyone know if treadmill miles count?
Good luck! I just ran my first marathon a week ago, so I know how challenging and fulfilling reaching a running goal can be :) If you're looking to make the most of your 100 miles and burn the most calories, might I suggest throwing in some intervals? After running for awhile, your body becomes more efficient at it, meaning that it burns less calories if you run at a steady pace. But good luck and I can't wait to read about your progress!

I love this idea, but my wedding is a few months after yours. I think I will join 70 days about 70 days before the wedding!

I also agree with nickels that this goal is helping me with my motivation.
You all are amazing! I think I am going to try to start running again tomorrow. Bandage comes off the forehead then, so it must be a good time to start again ;) Wish me and my stitches good luck!
