I've re-read it once since then, and I'm actually getting the itch to read it again! Such a great easy read, and even though I don't think I could ever run an ultra (my longest run right now is just 6 miles, lol), I love reading about it! :) Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933031627631728148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-5730967035856136282014-06-01T18:43:34.607-04:002014-06-01T18:43:34.607-04:00I think steps are a great goal.

It starts everyone at a 5,000 step goal and then sets new goals based on the previous day. So, if you go 10,000, the goal the next day might be 11,000, but if you have a less active day, it will give you a more reasonable goal. So, perhaps you can have 12,000 as you high-levelAngie Meltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203768022611798372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-69019206402192303712014-06-01T15:44:54.888-04:002014-06-01T15:44:54.888-04:00I too do the 9:1 ratio when doing any half maratho...I too do the 9:1 ratio when doing any half marathons now!

I have lost a fair amount of weight too, went from 235-155, and struggle with a 10 pound yo-yo, at the top of that right now, and struggling with my running. I am a triathlete, so running is just one of 3 things I do to keep fit.

However everything I have bought always zeros out about half way thorough the day. I keep it on my waist so that it's not seen in the office but my belly always hits buttons. Do you have any suggestions for this, I've already purchased four different step counters and nothing has worked so far. .It gets really Betsy Blixtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-37000933379498061372014-06-01T10:49:01.010-04:002014-06-01T10:49:01.010-04:00I LOVE that book!

Even when things get tough you are always working on some sort of plan to deal with it.
