1,000 Miles in 2011

Life — 06 January 2011

I bet there’s an app for that. Or, even better a club.

That’s right. I discovered the ultra fabulous Tall Mom’s blog last year but it was way too late for me to get in on the 1,000 miles. This year, however, is another story. I started the year off running. That’s right I’ve logged a whole 7 miles – watch out now – and I’m feeling pretty good.

One of my FAVORITE things about being a runner is the camaraderie. Runners support runners. It’s inspirational and, for me, it’s necessary. My long runs with my Get Fit Atlanta crew are the best. I also love the incredible community I’ve found online that cheer each other on and pick each other up when one falls. AMAZING.

So, if you’ve got 1,000 miles or more on your goal list head on over to Tall Mom’s to join the club. I hear her email is exploding but she’s super sweet and would love to have you.

Yeah for 1000 miles – it's one of my goals too! Just added my name to Mel's growing list!

And you are so right, the support from other runners makes such a difference! Thanks for being one of mine

Love to run but love to strength train too. I only run 3x a week. 1000 miles seems like more than I am willing to do.

Good luck to you!

I am not a runner now, but I used to be a runner before marriage and kids and about 60 extra pounds. Maybe if I keep visiting your blog and reading about your adventures, my dreams of running again will inspire me to pull out those sneakers and let pat and joe hit the pavement!
