    I'm in - but for 20 miles. Don't want to disappoint myself if I don't get to run when it is cold or icy!

    I'm in for 50 miles/80 km, as long as weather and an old cycling injury permit.

    I have my very first marathon in 2 weeks on December 13th (The Rocket City Marathon in Huntsville, AL). So I am reducing miles big time this month to continue my taper and allow for recovery.

    Wishing you all the best for your first marathon! You'll do fantastically!!!

    Thank you very much!

    Shooting for 60 this month with a stretch goal of 80. This is realistic for me based on holiday travel and access to treadmill (bought the darn thing 3 weeks ago and it still isn't delivered!).

    Last month was a bad month of running... only 92 miles. The first time I've dropped below 100 miles in 16 months... very disappointing and discouraging. I let burnout and some hip issues de-rail me. I now have to get 119 just to salvage 1,800 miles for the year.

    DATE...DISTANCE...TOTAL
    12/1........3.00.........3.00

    If I can manage to run 221miles I'll hit 1,800 miles in 2014- but that's a crazy pipe dream. I still owe the lonewolf 184.4 of 414 original miles from a crazy challenge I committed to. So I'm saying 185+???
    Don't kill yourself, girl. I totally fizzled on your challenge to get me to 2,000. But if you DO decide to continue being a maniac and get the 221, we will end up with the same miles for the year... assuming I hit my goal.

    I am in for 100 miles - I only managed 72 in November but I am determined to get to 100 in December. I need to start ramping up my mileage for my April Marathon!

    In for 50 miles! I have a HM on Dec 13, and then have no specific training plan for after that. I have 652 miles so far this year, so I'd like to finish over 700.

    Okay day one of December did not result in a run but instead went on a 14k hike with a friend and my dog. Tomorrow will be the first run.

    I'm in for 50 running miles. This is my first MFP challenge. I'm training for a fall 13.1, so this fits right in.

    :'( You were doing so well. You're wise to rest though. Better to rest now and come back strong than to keep pushing and really injure yourself. Can't wait to see you running and achieving all those goals again!

    It doesn't matter how you log your runs, but if you really care about the distance here's an idea. Mark the miles along your usual route(s) then push the lap button on a watch or stop watch as you pass them. It's low tech, but it's reasonably accurate- no worse than garminization anyway.

    120miles? You've SOOO got this, as more time passes since your big race your runs are becoming longer & more consistent. You'll continue to improve as the month goes on. I can't wait to cheer for your 1,800 mile! Now where did I stash my pompoms...
