    I would gladly get a root canal if I could wake up and run Mauna Kea. Hell, if i could live and run in Hawaii you could pull all my teeth....

    Alright! I know I said it before, but I am starting to feel better again. It might just been the placebo effect (started a new asthma ) or the fact that it was almost 60 degrees out today.

    I don't have any races coming up until April, so for the next month and a half it's going to be mostly shorter runs and resistance training.


    12/1/14 3.3 miles, a large portion of which was uphill, one of my better runs in a while

    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.
    Good luck on the marathon and thanks for setting up the December challenge!!
    Waiting to start running on December 5th once cleared from my dr from having a brain tumor removed November 20th. Aiming for 35 miles for the month.
    Hope it is good news! Take care!!

    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+???
    If you can run in 14+ inches of snow I think you have 221 covered no problem!!
    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.
    You've got this! Just have get outside :smiley:

    Welcome to all the Newbies!

    12/1 - 3.1 miles in the Galaxy of Lights 5K (32:17)


    Total: 3.1 miles out of 100

    Now sure if I'll be running the rest of the week, I hurt something last week at Turkey Trot in my right leg/hip/knee and last night at Galaxy of Lights I was crying by mile 2.5. My whole leg was numb and my hip and knee are really sore so I'm going to rest for now. :frowning:

    Oh and I need to brag on my 14 year old daughter who finished 36 out of 1,000 runners and won her age group with a 23:49 time last night. :star:
