11/5, 3.5 miles - in the dark with my head lamp (at 5pm!!) At least there's a full moon right now!
I'm in for cold weather support group!
I'm in Maine and it snowed this weekend!
Totally up for cold weather support group (I'm in Chicago). I don't find the cold down to about 20 bad once I get going (and once I remember how to dress), but it becomes more and more difficult to get myself to start on a run. I'm thinking of signing up for a couple of races in January (and perhaps a mid December 10K) as motivation, but I'm worried that we'll get the kind of crazy cold and snow that we did last year and I'll have to cancel.
I'm much more of a baby with cold and biking--anything below 50 or in the 50s with a cold wind and I just don't.

I'm starting late, but I'd like to set my goal at 10 miles. I trained for a 5K earlier this year, but stopped running as soon as I completed the 5K (June 7th). So, I've got 20 days to do 10 miles.
Thanks for posting this challenge!0 -
Stopped running for a few month but looking to get back into it. Decided it won't hurt to start half way through. I'm going to aim for 10km a week. So 30km in total.

I'm in for cold weather support!! (I'm a weather wimp but really should get out there at least a few times this winter)0

All of you folks running in such cold weather, wow. I'm cold if it's less than 10c (50F) and some of you are doing it below freezing point? Don't know how you do it!Hope everyone is well and doing nicely.
I've had a bad bout of flu this past week and could hardly get out of bed. Did not do much running at all and then tried getting back on my feet on Sunday for a long trail run but rolled my ankle not even halfway through! Heard an audible snap of the tendon and boy, did it hurt.
Ouch! I hope you are not hurt too bad.
It's okay now. Still pretty swollen but can run on it. I'm reduced to the "CE" of rice now, lol.
11/2 - 17.40 (10k race/slow run home after that)
11/3 - 12.52
11/7 - stair reps
11/9 - 9.32 trail
11/11 - 8.07

Here we are 10 days into November. Some of you are half way to your goals already. The rest of us will keep running to get there. Right? We got this!
Some are eagerly awaiting cooler temps. For some of us the cool temps & shorter days are here so we're learning to cope. OR facing a Blizzard already, so glad you have a treadmill. I for one am grateful to visit here and see that whatever my challenge or victory was today, I am not alone. Thanks ya'll!

I'm going to make it damnit if it kills me.0 -
I have to say that as weird as it sounds, I like to ice. I make little ice cups and use them to rub down the arch of my foot, my shins and sometimes my calves. I seriously believe it has helped me recovery from several injuries and I guess I have been doing it long enough that it doesn't bother me any more. :bigsmile:
I'm relieved to hear you're healing. The iceless RICE sounds something I would try, unless I were in a world of hurt. We use Arnica Montana rubs & Turmeric capsules for sprains & strains around here.Thanks! It was a bit scary at the time as I was alone in a remote, rocky trail. It's not too bad now after RICE (without the "I" as I hate doing it).
My daughter has recommended turmeric for inflammation but I have not yet tried it. Will have to check out the arnica rubs too.

you're right on track! 20days left & 30miles left. That's 1.5 miles a day, You've Got This!!!
If I NEED to ice, say after a 20miler, I'll fill the tub & soak in it. It works wonders, it really does, but I'll never get used to it. Ice is an act of desperation to avoid greater discomfort later.I have to say that as weird as it sounds, I like to ice.

That I could never do! Rubbing a tiny ice cup on my feet or legs I can manage... sitting in a tub of ice - nope :noway:If I NEED to ice, say after a 20miler, I'll fill the tub & soak in it.

As a reminder to myself and maybe others, I'm counting minutes because I live in a valley surrounded by tall trees and getting a decent gps signal is tough so it's easier for me to clock time ran.
Nov 1- 30 minutes
Nov 2- 31 minutes
Nov 4- 31 minutes
Nov 6 - 31 minutes
Nov 8 - 31 minutes
Nov 10- 34 minutes
I'm running 3-4 times a week plus doing T25 5 days a week (not counting T25 towards this though). Just happy with my progress. haha

Just saw this 1,400 miles - you are awesome my friend!Rethinking this running everyday... may need a rest day we'll see.
Your body definitely needs a rest day. I know mine sure does and it lets me know when. Listen to your body, we don't want you to get hurt.

Got in 2 miles! Yup, that's all I could stand. Lol. We are snowed in (at least until hubs digs us out) and TV and Internet are down. Well, not down as I am obviously writing this, but I cannot stream anything. So after 2miles on the treadmill staring out the window at white nothingness I gave up. after all tomorrow is another day and netflix will be there. 0 -
Sidelined for a week because of leg injury caused by needing new running shoes. Got new ones yesterday, so back at it! Two races at the end of the month!0 -

34 degrees this morning.... just a shorty this morning, but it was invigorating... first time in about a month that I have felt moderately ok running... suddenly looking forward to pounding out the miles in a "no treadmill" winter... my running has just been lackluster and ugly... time to HTFU...

I don't know if I'll make it to my goal or not. I've been slowed down by pain in the back of my leg behind my knee. It does better if I take more rest than I was.
