Still at it? How's your mileage? C25K all done?
I talked to my daughter about the 100 miles per month idea - and we both agreed it sounded really great. However it turns out, very difficult to see through during the vacation season. I'm only running about 60 miles per month, and walking another 24-30. My 17yr old daughter is up to running a very slow 1.5 miles continuous and improving weekly - we both hope she'll pass up her old man one day and I'll be the one struggling to keep up! It is amazing to have a buddy, somebody to help keep you motivated & accountable...and somebody who actually understands your own running struggles & accomplishments.
I'm trying to become a runner; I love the idea of it. Always have. However I was a smoker until 4 years ago so only recently is my cardiovascular system finally ahead of my aching body. And I also never fully realized how much my overweight self was holding me back. I am about to hit my long-term goal of running 6 miles continuous 3 days weekly, and I think i'm going to start marathon training just to keep myself pushing for a goal and maybe, just maybe, run an actual marathon in a year or two. We are going RV'ing next week at a beautiful place Arkabutla South Abutment in Coldwater, MS and I'm looking forward to running along the lake & over the mile long dam. Will be a nice change from my treadmill, though I'm going to miss the air conditioning & shop fan blowing on me lol.
