Thank you very much for your kind words. I am feeling much better today. Still a lot of miles to make up with only 3 days left tho.
It's my pleasure to organize these challenges. You awesome people that join me makes it all worth the while.

Hope you are feeling better and able to run again soon! Head colds and running definitely don't mix well!I am gonna fall short this month as I struggled with a very nasty head cold this week.
Hopefully I should be able to start back up tommorow morning.
Thanks for setting up another month for us!
@italysharon and @n2garden56 - Hope you had a Happy Birthday!
@fabnine - love the birthday video/song!
@skippygirlsmom - hopefully you will be out there running along with us again soon! How is the PT going?

Made goal last week and now just seeing how many more I can get. It is incredibly inspiring to see everyone working on their goals - regardless of mileage/pace/experience. I am starting to feel guilty on rest days because then I don't have anything to report back to you all! lol0 -
I'll come up a bit short this month - I'm okay with it though. I've still been active in other ways. =D

@shanaber thanks for asking, I start on Monday. The PT who was highly recommended didn't have an opening until Monday and I wanted to wait for him. I have learned one thing the past weeks, rest doesn't help so I obviously need more help than rest.
0 -
@skippygirlsmom - Wish you the best with PT/recovery. I had to go to PT in the fall of 2012 due to running injuries and it really helped!!! It did take a few weeks before I started feeling relief. I still do the stretches that I learned and while I still have flares up from time to time, overall the stretches seem to prevent any serious injury/time off from running.0
-
@briebee7 - Happy Birthday!
@skippygirlsmom - glad you are waiting to see the PT who was recommended. I will be interested to hear what he thinks about your recovery to run again. Are you still able to do other workouts like the bicycle or elliptical?0 -
1/1/2015: 3.94 miles outside
1/2/2015: 3.46 miles treadmill
1/3/2015: 1.95 miles outside, because I was too lazy to drive to the gym (?!)
1/4/2015: 4.34 miles treadmill, driving to the gym was terrifying (ask me about my POS car.)
1/5/2015: Rest (replaced car and dealt with insurance)
1/6/2015: Rest (still dealing with insurance - switching to new agency)
1/7/2015: 3.52 miles treadmill (and running around with old insurance agency, some more!)
1/9/2015: 4.21 miles treadmill
1/12/2015: 3.5 miles treadmill
1/14/2015: 6.99 miles treadmill (I did 2 Zombies, Run! missions, one with hills and one flat, and added the mileage when I got home, or that would be an even 7.)
1/16/2015: 3 treadmill and 3 treadmill - competing against my brother. I failed in the morning and went back to try again in the afternoon. Beat his time by 27 seconds.
1/19/2015: 1 mile on the treadmill in my brother's gym about 10 seconds slower than his. My lungs finally feel a bit better. That was the dustiest nasty treadmill I hope to ever use. There are ruts worn into the platform that made my run feel like I was running in an icy wheel rut. But the rock salt and dust was worse than the bumpy ride. Ugh.
1/20/2015: 3 miles treadmill
1/26/2015: 6.04 miles treadmill 27 miles left, in 5 days. That seems a tiny bit ambitious, for me.
1/27/2015: 6.09 miles treadmill
1/28/2015: 5.34 miles treadmill - I have asked my husband to help me in these last 3 days to be accountable for my mileage. He understands that it is all his fault if I do not reach my goal (j/k).
1/29/2015: 5.29 miles treadmill - @shanaber: My husband did remind me to go to the gym, but he didn't come with me. I thanked him afterwards for the motivational push.

@HealthyFocused715 @shanaber Thanks. I'm sure it'll all work out. I've talked to so many people who have been where I am and are doing great now. I've tried the bike and elliptical and really don't care for either. I've been doing some T25 and weight lifting but making sure not to over do it.0

@autumnblade75 - so glad your husband is taking his responsibility seriously!
Well, we both know the limits. I only asked for 3 days worth of help, and he only agreed to 2 of them, anyway. He works on Saturday, so he has already told me that I am my own problem, then.

Congrats to all the birthdays and goals!
I did not run yesterday as planned. My runs are supposed to all be easy this week (rest week) and had 20mph sustained winds with over 40mph gusts in the morning so I was waiting for it to settle down. Later never came yesterday, it was all NOW, NOW, NOW all day.
Oh well, Saturday is still January and I should be able to hit my goal then.0 -

Goal: 60 miles
Reflexion of goal: This challenge made me run when I didn't want to, but I think I can do more, especially seeing that I have a 6 day no run streak, so I am upping my milage next month.
Congratulations to everyone who completed their goal or came close, or just ran more than they normally do. On to February. I hope I see all you there. I haven't been good at calling people out personally, but you all have motivated me so much. Thank you!
Stay warm New Englanders!! Go Pats!0 -
