Hey guys!
I’ve had a great response to “Miles for Monika” and I really hope we can BLOW our goal miles out of the water! It is going to require help from all of you, though… it really will.
Here is a rundown of the details for you, if you missed it the first time.
- Any miles that you run/walk/jog/hike (miles earned on your own two feet) count.
- Feel free to use even miles, or to the nearest tenth. (ex: 2.3 miles)
- Miles must be clocked between Monday, March 16th (12:00 am) – Sunday, March 29th (11:59 pm)
- You can report miles daily, weekly, or at the end of the whole fortnight.
There are 3 ways you can report your miles:
- Either leave your miles in a comment on this blog (this post, or subsequent posts later in the week… it doesn’t matter)
- Email me your miles: kelsey@kelseytoney.com
- For my nesties, you can post your miles on the daily c25k/running check in post (If you don’t know what this is… use one of the other two methods)
In semi-related news, I’ve got a clean bill of health from the doctor, which means that I’m starting my 16-week 10k training plan tomorrow! I’ll be posting a summary of my weekly plan/workout journal, so you can follow my progress.
Plus! It’s spring break!!
Bloggers- Please help me out, by reposting the information about Monika’s Miles… I don’t have the reach that some of you other big timers do, so your reposting/linking could make a big difference. 
I’ll be holding my breath for your miles to start pouring in tomorrow!!
You can check our progress on the Miles for Monika widget on my sidebar—-> Let’s do this!
Thanks! good night!

Here is a button that you can use to post a tiny version of the MFM banner seen above. Just copy and paste it, then remove the 2 Asterisks (one before the “a href” and one before the “img”) and it will link directly to my blog post about the event!

Pumpkin and I did 3 miles today! Do we each get to log our miles? Or are we one unit
[Reply]
I’ve never posted here before, but would like to add the 3.4 miles I did today.
[Reply]
Please add my 3 mile run from this morning! I found my way here via Eat, Live, Run blog.
[Reply]
5 miles today!!! I will try to do as many as I can!
[Reply]
3.1 miles for me today!!
[Reply]
Did an even 10.0 miles today (swear on my Garmin!). It was a really tough run today, so I was so happy to find this link via Eat, Live, Run – made it feel extra worth it!
[Reply]
I found you through Meghann’s blog. Please add my 3.5 miles from today!
[Reply]
I am so very glad to hear about the clean bill of health!
Are you training for a specific 10k?
[Reply]
5.5 miles
You’re an amazing friend!!
[Reply]
My running group wanted to donate their miles from this morning’s run, so that would be 30 miles from all of us!
[Reply]
2.5 miles yesterday 3/16
Thanks for doing this, Kelsey. I’m sure Monika is loving it!
[Reply]
We walked 3.5 miles as a family last night. Well, 1.5 miles each and Aiden didn’t walk the whole time, so about 3.5 miles for the 3 of us last night.
[Reply]
I’d like to donate my 5 miles from yesterday.
Thanks
[Reply]
Make that another 4.1 miles from me.
[Reply]
Can across your site through US Joggers’ Blog. Got 8.5 miles from last night you can add.
[Reply]
Last night I logged 6 miles. For some reason I was unable to copy the code that you posted on the site to put the link in my blog.

I just heard about this on the Runner’s Lounge podcast and thought I’d submit my miles. If I can go retroactive to the 16th I submit 40 (just happened to be my longest week in my marathon training program). If you want to just count the miles from my latest run, that would be 20. Hope Monika’s feeling better and able to get back out there soon!
[Reply]
Tack on another 4 from us!
[Reply]
Hi what a great idea, my first time posting here heard it on Runner’s Lounge. Donating my miles from 3/16-3/22: 29 more miles for Monica. Feel better and get back out there soon!
[Reply]
Another 5 miles for Monika last night from me!
[Reply]
I’ve logged all my miles for the last two weeks — I’ve got 36.11 miles for Monika!
[Reply]
In the last 2 weeks me and the hubby have 35 miles logged.
