    Thanks for the well wishes! I plan to follow doc's orders and I'll be back running in no time! You all keep carrying on and I'll keep popping in to see how everyone is doing. :smile:

    I ran 6 this am for a total of 88.5 total/100 goal. (I really need to figure out this whole ticker thing! ;) )
    Looks like you are going to shatter that goal! Only 11.5 to go with 11 days to go! Great job!!

    @HonuNui‌ - love the humuhumunukunukuapua'a fish but could never pronounce it or even remember how to spell it :)

    Jan 21 - Rest day. Don’t want to, but going to take a day or two off, per trainer’s suggestion. Left calf is very sore. Rather rest a couple days than have to stop for weeks. Once I get to walking around it doesn't hurt, but when I've been sitting or resting and then go to move, it is painful. Probably should have taken the day off after the big bike ride.
    Take care of your leg and feel better soon!

    I ran another 8 miles Saturday, the 10th. Unfortunately, I am going to come in way under my goal of 58 miles for January. My 2 year old spine injury has been flaring up & forced me to not run at all last weekend. My Doctor says he'd like me to keep running when it is pain free, but to give it a few days rest between each run. Chiropractor & massage therapy, anti-inflammatory diet & yoga all in my arsenal; I may just be able to make 58 miles in February. For now it is touch and go. Oh yeah, and I ought not go as far as 8 miles in a day for a while :).

    3 miles today. I couldn't tell if my legs were still sore from Monday's squat workout or if they were just freezing. I probably should have dressed a bit warmer. Oh well. :)

    4.3 miles to add for today which means I've finally hit double figures for the month.
    11.3 done 48.7 to do.
    Not going to get anywhere near my target this month but there's always next month.

    Skippygirlsmom..... sorry to hear about your back problem, hope the doctor finds out what it is and puts it right quickly so you can be back out running soon.

    @SLKysell and @Runningmischka‌ - that is definitely a different business. Scary, very scary.

    Thanks Runningmischka and Abakan! Had the MRI today back to the spine guy tomorrow morning.

    Last two full weeks have been 29 and 27 miles. Plus 17+ for 1/1-1/4 had me around mid 74 as of Sunday, plus 2 runs this week gets me around 87 through today. Two wonderful rest days coming up, and then planning on a 14 miler on Saturday 3 weeks in advance of the Fort Lauderdale A1A. Still not sure if I am going to run the half or help a friend as a pacer but need to be ready regardless. My last 2 longer runs of 11.2 and 10.3 were both around 7:30 pace so I'm feeling pretty good. That isn't bad considering my advanced age group.

    Good month going so far, but a bit of soreness in the knees and calves is demanding this rest, although I probably will go to the gym one day and cross train.

    Good luck to all. Still no time to figure out the ticker.

    @ayalowich - I haven;t figured out the ticker either. :p great runs for you though!

    @Runningmischka - Awesome that you are running thru your pregnancy. I managed to run until about 30 weeks with mine and it makes the recovery that much easier after you have him/her.

    Rest day for me.

    Dog hair and donuts... mutts and muffins... pooches and paninis... canines and cupcakes... beagles and bagels... it's a lose/lose no matter how you look at it...

    @ayalowich @briebee7 Which part of the ticker is confusing? It took me several attempts to post it correctly, so I might be able to help!
