Subject: Running 4x a week till the Easter Bunny Comes Challenge

I've been building my mileage and want to keep a goal of running 4x a week for the next few months.

I'll be updating my progress here.

My goal is always a 30 minute workout minimum.

Join me if you like :=) The more the merrier.

Beginning next Monday, I'm in!  Let me take the rest of this week for recovery and then I'll start.  Last challenge with you was fun and I'm looking forward to it.

Actually it's a Half Ironman. It's in March.

Since it's a "HITS" and not the "Ironman" logo, I never know how to refer to it. Congrats on getting your 4 in this week :=)

Kate, awesome on the Half Ironman (or 70.3).  Whew, I admire that!  Don't know if, or when, I'll ever attempt a 70.3

Thanks Pam. :=)

I shall attempt. Whether or not I can finish... well.. I'll give it my best shot. 

Today marks the 4th run of the week.

I'm glad I am running with more frequency. 

My body feels better and the running is easier.

Way to go Pam!!! 

I need to increase my mileage this week. I finished out at 18 miles. Gonna make a goal of 20 running miles this week and 5 walk miles. 

Thanks for your encouragement. You rock!!!

Bit of a late starter, but I think I'll give this a go (if you'll have me!)

I finished my first 4x run week last week -- over Christmas no less -- that counts double right?  Smile

Have already done runs Monday & Tuesday this week (30 min each) so off to a good start for the new year!   Hoping this challenge will help keep me honest when work starts up full force next week.

Scott.

I'd like to join in late too, please! I'm heading into tax season but need something to keep me on track because I'm registered to run my first road marathon on March 23. I'll be doing most all my running on my treadmill due to winter weather but I'm one of those rare people that actually likes running on one of those things.

I've done 2 runs so far this week.

Pam - I know your hubby from the Asphalt Junkies mentor group. He's a sweetheart and he's told us that you are, too. I'm taking a sabbatical from the group until the next session but I need some accountability so I'd appeciate Kate letting me join this challenge.

Great to have you Brenda and Scott. :=

I did my third run yesterday. I haven't gotten any walking miles in yet

I'm on vacation and kind of fitting the workouts in when I can. I'd like to do a long run today.

I will prolly use a run 5 minutes walk 1 strategy.

I have a week at Disney World lined up in the end of January -- will need some tips on how to keep up the running (or does trekking from Fantasyland to Main Street USA count?)

Brenda, so glad to have you here!  K always speaks so highly of you.  And you are right, K is a sweetheart but he lied if he said I was.

Ok, got my 3rd in for this week.  Tomorrow is a rest day and then I'll try to go long on Saturday.

Thanks Brenda. I'm on vacation at home so I've tried to use the time to get extra workouts in.

Way to go Brian on getting er done today :=)

I love running in places that are new. We stayed in Orlando last month and I just ran down the side walk 20 minutes, and 20 minutes back. When I'm in a new place workouts seem more fun and adventure like. :=)

Make sure you have really comfy shoes for shlepping around the parks.

Week 3, 5 runs but one was 1 mile so it may not count.  But at least 4 times for a total of 39.9 miles.

Way to go Pam!!! Every one of them counts. :=) Awesome mileage. I got 5 in too but 23 miles. Five more than last week, but I didn't do any walking though :/

My personal goal is to run 25 miles this week.

Good Morning everyone! I did my 4th run on Saturday then the hubby and I took off for Michigan for a night away. Our teens love it when we leave them alone. Yesterday was spent watching NFL playoff football. We're a football family so I make a bunch of snacks and we have a family bet on who will win. Got back on the treadmill this morning before everyone woke up and got in an 8 mile run.

Welcome Nichi! (I'm sure Kate will let you in). Good job, Kate, Pam and Scott for meeting the goal for the first week.

Haha Pam, I'm sure your hubby WASN'T lying about your sweetness.

It looks to be a beautiful sunny day in Indiana and that's rare in winter here as it's usually gray. Sunshine always makes me happy so I'm planning on a good day. Hope you all have one, too!
