    10 degrees c here in the uk today and the sun was shining so it was very pleasant for running. I managed 10.2 miles with 1,538ft of climb in 2hrs 23mins so although I didn't get in my 12 miles that I wanted I'm still happy. The half marathon course has only 522ft of climb and is on the road, not wadding though ankle deep mud for a mile and having to open and close 12 gates along the trail as I did today.
    so 48 miles completed 22 to do.

    Total for the month 25k this month. My goal 60k which means I have 35k left...not sure if I'm going to make it this month.

    Too early to say that. It's just a little halfway past the month. Plenty of time left. See how much you can do. Don't think if it as 35k left. Think of it as 17k this week and 18k next week.

    Lol...sounds like a rather interesting trail... are the gates for vehicles or wildlife?

    1,538ft of climb, ankle deep mud, & gates too, sounds challenging. What mountain did you brave?

    @ShortMrsN & @skippygirlsmom I did run the midnight mile, teenagers are so much fun. As it was 12:01 technically that was today. The streak goes on. :D

    Well, shoot. I adjusted my running schedule to allow proper recovery from my first half, and to begin training for another half in February...and it looks like I don't have enough miles in this new plan to hit my original 70 mile goal by the end of the month! :o I think I'll just reset that per the new schedule down to a goal of 60 miles.

    Great work everyone. I was behind pace for a while but am basically caught up now. Glad to see you all doing so well!

    I recently started taking lifting more seriously and am still looking for the best way to integrate it into my running schedule without hampering my recovery times. So far my main adjustment has been to decrease my speed work to once a week (max) so that my runs are not as strenuous before my lifting days. I also have been doing yoga in an attempt to prevent injuries and increase flexibility.

    Was an irritable run.....wind that couldn't decide which direction it wanted to come from, a tiny stone in my sock that I had to stop 3 times to get out, ear phone wires were just not co-operating and all up in my face, the council was weed whacking the path by the beach so tonnes of long cut grass all over the place hiding the rocks and holes and almost every one of the 10 dogs I met along the way wanted to have a sniff or run with me so I had to slow right down or stop so their owners could call them back!! (don't mind the dogs, but there were so many today!!)
    Then both my bra and my armband started rubbing :(
    That sounds like everything which can get annoying during a run came together there. Hope your next run will be under nicer circumstances again!

    Nothing spectacular tonight; ran after dark and my flashlight batteries are nearly empty, so I had to stick to flat, straight concrete roads with streetlights...

    1.11. - 8.6km
    3.11. - 4.5 km
    5.11. - 5.7 km
    7.11. - 4.4 km
    9.11. - 10.3 km
    11.11. - 3.9 km
    13.11. - 4.8 km
    14.11. - 5.8 km
    16.11. - 10.6 km
    18.11. - 4.8 km

    No run for me today - work got in the way and I hate that :grumble: Feeling stressed and really needed to run. Only saving grace is going to strength training at the gym. Hopefully lifting weights will help! I will fit in a run tomorrow one way or another!
