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 -

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.

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 -

I'm at 53.27 out of my goal of 60. Tomorrow should put me over, or just barely under.0
-
6 more miles last Saturday. I am hoping to get in another 6 tomorrow, but will be so short of my goal. I have been recovering nicely from the aggravation to my spinal injury, so hoping I can make the February goal of 38.0 -
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
1/30/2015: 4.74 miles treadmill

Haven't posted on here in a while, life gets busy. But my goal was 19 miles this month as I wasn't a runner before and would go to the gym randomly and only with a buddy. Happy to say I made it to 23 miles I now run for the most part everyother day and it doesn't matter if I go with anyone or not now. While I may not have posted I remembered that I made a commitment to a goal and it kept me going. Hoping the will be a February challenge. 0

I absolutely got this. Goal achieved. NOW I'm ready for February. Congratulations to everyone who participated - whether you got there or not. If you can get there today, go do it! No rush, but from where I'm standing, you've got about 11 hours to make it happen...
