Marathon Mondays! A marathon seems like so much work, but it’s easy if you take it in small steps! You will make a goal for yourself, then you will need to track your jog/walk/elliptical mileage each week (track Tuesday-Monday or Sunday-Saturday, if it's easier), and post the previous week's mileage on Mondays. Posting days will be the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th of May. Some of us are currently on cardio training programs, but you can tailor this challenge to your own needs: whatever fitness level you are, just make a marathon-related goal for yourself (examples: walk one marathon; walk/jog 2 marathons; jog a marathon; or walk a marathon and jog a half marathon). Try to choose a goal that will challenge you, but won’t overwhelm you. I think that the easiest and least complicated way to do this will be to first comment with your goal this week, and then each Monday, reply with your previous week’s mileage. (I’ll make an example post so that this makes sense!). Good luck everyone--whether you're getting geared up for DL Half Marathon training or general fitness, this will help get you ready for summer!

*Example*: My goal will be to run/walk two marathons (roughly 55 miles total) this month.  - Spoonful_O_Sugar  439.1 #288 3:39PM

My goal is to not be a lazy bum! and get my rear into gear lol. I am still trying to get over being sick right now. Was supposed to start today but thinking I need one more day to rest. I hate when I can not tell the difference between sick and being lazy hahaha. My goal is to start my training routine and miss max 2 days this month lol  - BooEve123  800.9 #121 2:02PM

Alright. My real goal is 3 marathons and to be able to run 5 miles w/o stopping to walk. 👍😃✨ Let's do this! - Spoonful_O_Sugar  439.1 #288 11:09AM
Week 1: 21 miles - Spoonful_O_Sugar  439.1 #288 10:20AM

Week 4: 24 miles. Yay! Made my mileage goal, but didn't make the 5 miles w/o stopping. Did 4 though, so that gives me something to keep working toward. :) - Spoonful_O_Sugar  439.1 #288 7:57AM
My goal this month to do Jeff Galloway training schedule which totals to about 67 miles 2 Marathons and a half! Let's do this! - NingyMouse  378.4 #366 6:21AM
My goal is to keep moving, trying to build up a good routine w/o being distracted by "life". I'm going to walk - with mini spurts of jogging - 6 to 10 miles a week and bike 10 miles a week. - Jewelz  475.3 #259 9:14AM
Who wants to do this again in June? - PirateQueenBriezy  291.4 #678 8:43AM
Raises hand.. Yes!!! - Twinklelashes  144.4 #2422 12:53PM
Sure! Just keep tracking and I'll make a post for June next week! Posting my mileage publicly really helps push me to reach my goals and not slack off! - Spoonful_O_Sugar  439.1 #288 6:38AM
Awesome! May was hectic for me, but June should be great so I hope to meet or exceed my goals in June. - PirateQueenBriezy  291.4 #678 10:17AM
