shanaber, congrat's on your half marathon, great time.
Skippygirlsmum: Hope you get your injury sorted soon so you can get back to running in 2015.
LoneWolfrunner: 2000 miles is an awesome goal for 2015. You and fabnine have inspired me to set myself a goal for 2015 so I'm going to start with 1000 miles.
4 miles today, 44 miles complete, 26 to do.0 -

Congratulations to everyone who met their goal this month, and to everyone who did as well as they could making progress toward it! That includes taking time off to recover; your long-term health is more important than a monthly number.0 -

Not sure I will make goal but I'll give it a go!!!
