Daily Mile

My friend Liz has set up a cool challenge for all of us to track our miles at Daily Mile.  If you want to join the challenge, let me know once  you have an account with Daily Mile (its free!).  Mile counting doesn't start until the day you accept the challenge.  Remember the original challenge time was from September 15, 2010 to September 15, 2011.  If you are keeping pace at 10 miles per week, that will give you 520 miles total so if you start the challenge this week, you should still be able to stay on track and get 500 miles in before the end date!

I have 3 miles to do tomorrow.  I am looking forward to it.  I really need to find the time to get some new shoes so that I can actually run more.  I keep trying, but my knee is killing me.  I just haven't had time this week to do anything about it, but walking is better than nothing right?

I added the Daily Mile widget at the left so you can see my progress as I post my workouts there.  I still plan to make a post on this blog at least twice a week.

I am so excited to see how many people are joining me on this!  Happy Running (and walking)!

Ashli--I'm going to friend you on Daily Mile. I LOVE Daily Mile. I don't love their mapping though; you can't make your maps totally private, and some of mine lately that were set to "friends only" were actually visible to non-friends! So I've started mapping all my runs at mapmyrun.com where I can be private. But I do everything else on Daily Mile. LOVE tracking my training there.

I just found your blog through my friend (Beth) who suggested the challenge through dailymile. I'm already over 300 so far this year. I just started running in February.

Glad you ar both joining on Daily Mile. I am trying to get used to all of this public posting (blog, daily mile, etc).

@Traci - It is so nice to hear that you are a "beginning" runner too...less than a year qualifies in my book.

I'm loving this challenge, Ashli!!!

I need to get new shoes, too. But finding the time... it's tough.

I've added running discussions to my fan page on Facebook if anyone wants to join in!

Week 1 .. Done!

I can't believe that Wednesday marks the beginning of week 2 already.  I feel like I was just telling Liz that I had this idea for a running challenge and shabang...here we are starting week 2!  And people are doing it with me! I logged 10.5 miles in Week 1 (starting off a little ahead never hurts :)).  Overall I felt good about getting the miles in, but I am having a pain in my knee when I run longer than 3 minutes at a time so I am doing mostly intervals.  I think it is my IT Band...I know this is pretty common, but it stinks to have pain.  Anyone have any good suggestions for IT Band therapy.  I have heard of using a foam roller, but have no idea how to use one or even what to buy...suggestions?? Liz has also given me a great idea to do a badge or something to mark progress on this quest.  I am thinking of something, but haven't had much time to devote to it.  I like the idea...what about anyone else doing this journey with me?  Would you think a badge was cool? Hope

I am going to do what?!?

In the past 5 years I can be quoted as saying: "I am NOT a runner" "I HATE to sweat" "I will NEVER run" "I was a swimmer, I never ran growing up, I am sure that is why my joints just won't work for running." Let me warn you now, when you hear yourself things like this, just pretend it its "opposite day" because the likelihood of those proclamations holding true is pretty much non-existent. This past year, I have found myself running 2 5k events, run/walking a half marathon, finding a running training plan to work on speed of all things.  I really can't believe how much I actually look forward to working out...and how much my day changes when I don't. On days I work out, I am happier, have more energy, feel better rested, am a better parent and wife and have a desire to live out God's will for my life. When I don't work out...well, let's just say it is not pretty.  Nothing is on time, I am short fused
