My goal for this month was 75 miles but with only 42 miles done I not going to make it this time, I'm afraid that getting ready for Christmas and then a nasty cold over the holidays are the reasons for my failure but I'm not going to beat myself up about it, just going to get back out there and do better in January.
Congrat's to all those who have already achieved their goal.
Fabbina and Lonewolfrunner have both run over 1700 miles this year what a fantastic achievement congrat's to you both.
Hope you all had a good Christmas and all the best for 2015.0 -
Sorry Fabnine I got your name wrong.0

Wow, a lot of you have met your goal or are very close!!! Nice job!!! To those that are out with injuries, I can empathize because that is how last year went for me. I hope that you are well soon!0

5 miles in the snow today. I don't think I will be doing that again. I either injured my calf or am just about to. I think it's better for me to just suck it up on the treadmill when there is snow on the ground.

Thanks! This was a pretty good year of running for me... but I have been checking your miles and you have put a ton of time and miles on your feet as well! I have to squeeze out the last few here this year to get to 1,800... then off to break past 2,000 in 2015...My goal for this month was 75 miles but with only 42 miles done I not going to make it this time, I'm afraid that getting ready for Christmas and then a nasty cold over the holidays are the reasons for my failure but I'm not going to beat myself up about it, just going to get back out there and do better in January.

Hope you all had a good Christmas and all the best for 2015.

Great job! You haven't let a little thing like a pregnancy slow you down a bit... very impressed.... I would probably just bag it and watch TV and eat bon-bons.Runningmischka wrote: »Goal reached, yay!

2000! Amazing! I think I will try for 1000. But I'm also adding a lot of biking so may have to reduce the running to get the biking up.LoneWolfRunner wrote: »I have to squeeze out the last few here this year to get to 1,800... then off to break past 2,000 in 2015...

Hi everyone!
I just came across this group and would be very interested in joining if it's not too late? I use to run a lot in the past and really miss it. These days, I typically run about 3 days a week indoors at my school gym to release stress and anxiety; but I want to gradually increase my mileage and improve my time. I would begin the week of Jan. 11th. That's when I'll have my new running shoes and will resume classes.
Ultimately, I'd like to run another marathon once I'm done with my program! It would be great to have a group of pals to check in with! Plz feel free to add me as a friend!!

That is of course if the group intends to continue on after Dec., lol
