    10/2 - 4.16 miles
    10/3 - 6.22 miles
    10/5 - 3 miles
    10/7 - 3.23 miles
    10/10 - 3.28 miles
    10/11 - 12 miles

    So....running a 5k race right before my last long training run was probably not a great idea. Lots of aches and pains on the 12 miler, actually had to call it about a hundred feet short because of pain on the 'good' knee. Taking a rest day today and tomorrow - lots of ice and glute exercises...

    Decided to take a rest day today. Legs were feeling tired and a bit sore, also Allen is only home for a few more days.

    @snha Its a bit of Both - Training for a few Winter HM's and slowly pushing up my distance
    @kareF My legs are feeling fine. About an hour after my long runs I always do a 1 - 2 km walk to keep everything loose. That's also when I take the 1 liter water bottle and re-hydrate.

    @kristinegift - Wow! Congrats on the mileage best!
    @JoRocka - NICE! Excellent HM!
    @mwyvr - the trail pictures are great...and I can really get behind your new profile pic!
    @ddmom0811 - HA! That happened to me last winter with a giant snow man! Hazards of running early, I guess.

    10/1 - 3.1 miles on the 'mill; plus 5.8 miles / 20 minutes on stationary bike.
    10/2 - Had to skip run/workout for a life insurance physical (bloodwork, etc.). Then, they couldn't get me to bleed, so I'm gonna have to do it again! Grrr!
    10/3 - 11.5 miles with HM group; cool, beautiful weather!
    10/4 - waaaayy overslept!
    10/5 - not off to a good start this month; kids up half the night with illness / asthma issues
    10/6 - 4.75 miles on a beautiful, cool morning.
    10/7 - 4.85 miles of hills with HM group
    10/8 - 4.65 miles
    10/9 - 0. Up half the night, again! Now feeling a bit under the weather. It's too early for this stuff, isn't it?
    10/10 - 7.92 miles with HM group. Cool morning, flat loop...nice run!
    10/11 - 3.15 mile "recovery" run. Slower pace with one of my 9 year olds...love getting to run with my kids! Sore hip though.
    10/12 - 4.75 miles. Beautiful weather! Hip better, but not perfect. Fired up for 5k and HM this weekend!

    @5beautifuldays I'll let you know if I like the shoes, all the reviews are good
    @juliet3455 I'll have to take the photo for you. Between Skip and I it's insane. She has 3 pair of "road" shoes, 2 pair of spikes and now trail shoes.
    @elise4270 I hope you're 100% soon!
    @karef great run on Sunday!
    @msf74 I saw that, great play on words
    @ddmom0811 LOL I can just see you getting startled at the pumpkin. I agree with @karllundy it's one of the hazards of running early. Between not wearing my glasses and the dark there are morning I'm running along and need to do a WTH check at something in front of me.
    @karllundy glad the hip is getting better. Woohoo for HM 5K weekend!

    I am in. It will keep me motivated to report to others. Finals in my University class are done, so I have more time to get going.

    I had hoped to get 5 or 6 miles in yesterday but ended taking longer at my mom's than expected (we moved her into senior living and are now getting her house ready for sale)

    It's going to be tough for me to get miles in this week (and doubtful I'll make my monthly goal). I'm taking my youngest son deer hunting starting Thursday and since I was busy with Mom's house all weekend, I'll need to get packed and ready for deer hunting after work today through Wednesday.

    10/01 - Camping
    10/02 - Camping, hiking
    10/03 - Camping, hiking
    10/04 - 5.6 miles running, hiking
    10/05 - 7.9 miles
    10/06 - Rest
    10/07 - 9.7 miles
    10/08 - 5.0 miles
    10/09 - Rest
    10/10 - 18 miles, 10:29 pace, <--Distance PR!
    10/11 - Life Day

    Goal: 150 Miles
    Progress: 46.2 Miles
    Remaining: 103.8 Miles

    @shanaber, here are a couple of pictures from my 18 mile run Saturday on that "rails-to-trails" trail. It's one of MANY we have in her Minnesota. The bright spot on the right of the first photo is the Cannon River that runs along much of the route. This trail has become my new favorite place to run, but it's unfortunate that it's an hour from my house. This particular trail is 20 miles long and has very few road crossings, lots of tree cover, and not too much traffic. If anyone is interested in a few more pictures they can be found here:

    I had a great run today. I had to use the treadmill at work since I won't have time to run outside when I get home tonight. I was dreading it, especially after the booze-filled weekend I had. Well, the saying "never judge a run by the first mile" was so true for me today.

    I was hating it the first few minutes and told myself to just get to 30 minutes and then I could stop. By that point I was in the zone and kept going to finish my workout. When I was done I was drenched in sweat and felt phenomenal! So glad I didn't stop when I first wanted to.

    10/01: 4.34
    10/04: 4.92
    10/06: 4.96
    10/08: 1.69
    10/10: 4.78
    10/12: 5.12
