I'm up for this. I need some motivation... and some exercise buddies!

ohhhhh ... great thread!!!

only cause i am training for the Minnie marathon in May and the Disney full marathon in Jan09, i will do 950 miles on the treadmill (and outdoors) in 2008. 1000 sounds just wayyyyy too many..

I'm going to cycle a century (100 miles) before May.

I'm running my first 5K in February.

In August I have a MuddyBuddy event with a Babygirl 2007 Muddy Buddy Ride & Run in Chicago.

After that I have no idea what I will do/train for. But that's enough for now.

I will hit my goal weight in 2008.

I want to do a mini triathlon in December of next year.

It's going to happen...oooooooooooooooohhhhh yes it will.

Well since I am so close to my goal and my stomach is still fat, I will do 109,500 crunches or about 300 a day,,geez ouch..abs o steel here i come

i'm a weiner and VERY new at all this. i just started working out for the first time on my new elliptical tonight! so, my goal for 2008 on the elliptical will be 365miles. 1mi/day, considering i will take a break away from it on sundays, and some saturdays or holidays, i think this is a reasonable goal for me. also, i'm 3months post op and doing well at 30lbs weight loss so far.

365 miles in 365 days. i can totally do this! and hope to blow my goal in the water, but trying to stay realistic as well!

Skinny Pants here i come! Bye bye fat jeans!

xoxo, Christie
