I may start slow, but the next thing you know, I've finished 9 miles. Baby steps. I'm trying to build my weekly mileage to 35-40 miles a week. I'm slowly inching every run longer. Eventually I'll get there.MCM Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588793352268224508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127204702177748392.post-83801092037929200732012-01-23T21:40:03.810-05:002012-01-23T21:40:03.810-05:00Great motivation!

It includes small, intermediate and long range goals. Small, incremental milestones (but achievable) on a path to longer term bigger goals. it is like marathon training. As for wight loss, I know one piece of advice is to never weight yourself or only once a week, but I never do that. I need the feedback and the short term horizon to stay on the path. And good luck with yours.NY Wolvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017858548662857495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127204702177748392.post-30384916178389756482012-01-23T10:04:00.351-05:002012-01-23T10:04:00.351-05:00Good for you for putting it out there!

Yes I could be this weight and be fine and healthy but like you, I also feel better about myself/am faster if I weigh less!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04679451366109029829noreply@blogger.com
