Hellobee Boards

ha that's not a measly goal. My goal is to run a whole mile straight by the end of the summer. I can run half a mile at 4.5-5 mph. then I have to walk for about a tenth of a mile. I feel so pathetic. I try to sprint the last tenth of a mile haha.

I'm still trying to get the last bit of baby weight off, so my goal is running at least 20 min every day, but preferably 30 min/3+ miles.
I did really good for a couple of weeks but then some family drama happened and I was back to eating my feelings and being lazy, lol. I need need to get back on track and be kept accountable!

I also have a 10k race coming up in sept, and would like to run it faster than my 5 miler in may. Hoping to get back under a 10min/mi. I would LOVE to be trained for half mary next spring, but we'll see what time allows.

Love to chat running, I've been consistently running, but I'm no where close to where I was last year and want to get recommitted

@babyjmama: omg that's an amazing goal! I don't think I could ever do that.

Yes! My husband and I are doing a 5 1/2 mile mud run in August and we just started using one of the Couch to 10K apps. So far I really like it, but I'm worried about staying committed!

I'm in! I'd been running, but I bruised a toenail about three weeks ago that has left me a little gimpy. Hoping to go out again sometime this week! I'm doing a 5K in October, but I may also try to do a 10K before that.

I just came back to this thread and one of the ads is for the Reebok Spartan Race! DH and I just did a run around the park, 3.35 miles. I felt like stopping at the midway point but I just kept thinking about how this is easy compared to what people on the biggest loser do.

I need better sneakers though!

@HLK208: ah! Elley and I are talking about that!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh we could have a Bee running convention LOL!

Okay ladies so what's our game plan?!

@MsMamaBear: I'm not very good yet either!!

@babyjmama: what are your goals??

I ran 2 miles today and for some reason - they were MUCH harder than 3 yesterday. Umm I kind of committed to a 10k in September with the preschool moms today too.

I'm just going to up the mileage each week. 2 this week, 3 next, 4 after that, etc. it's all about pushing myself since I rarely do that. Luckily my sister just moved here and she's ran 9 half's and 2 full marathons (owwwwh). She totally motivates me.

Well I have done it! Ran yesterday and today. Only about one mile, but I will take it. Had to do today's run without music.
I see that many people on here are at many different levels. I will say that I plan to use some of everyone else's running goals as my own.
As far as motivating each other... As long as you put the importance of what YOUR goals are second you can never accomplish it. It will always take the back seat to everything else. It is okay to put your self first sometimes. Go out and run it!

I did 2 miles yesterday! Feeling it today, though. But I'm glad I did

Ran 3 miles on the treadmill this morning and 4 miles with the kids outside in the double bob this afternoon! Whew these buggers are getting heavy....80 lbs of stroller these days!

Got outside alone for 3 yesterday. Working hard to keep up the momentum. We are camping this weekend so gotta pack my shoes and commit to hitting the trails there too.

@MerryC: whoa!!! 7 miles total - way to go! E is 20 pounds and B is 35 so our double bob is TOUGH these days too!!

Ran 3 today and walked 4 - my endurance and strength are building which I love.

@HLK208: holy moly, your bob is even heavier than mine! You did 7 today too - rockstar! Great minds think alike

@HLK208: woah...haha! I just had j in his but he's not as heavy as both B&E

It's going to take me a full year to get ready for this half! I only did 2.5 today and felt like dying! But it was also 93* out...

@MerryC: I did the Rock n' Roll Seattle half but not the regular Seattle. I only got up to 5 miles training before though so I could have done better but I averaged an 11 minute mile. It wasn't bad but my feet were DYING for a good two weeks lol. The Seattle half has some good hills (a few friends who have done it told me about the route) but training with the double bob is harder than anything else

@HLK208: um an 11 min mile is like half what I avg

@HLK208: Sorry, I'm totally butting in to this thread, but when is your 10k? I think you can totally train for that by September. I was reading your plan to build up your mileage each week and I think another good way to approach that is to build up for two weeks, then back down for one week, then back up for two weeks, etc. So, for example, if your longest run this week is 3 miles, next week you'd go up to 4, then up to 5 the week after, then back to 3 the next week, then back to 5 again, then 6, then back down to 4, etc...The cut back week would give your legs a chance to recover and could help prevent injury!
