    I'm down for 45. I love walking and have been doing 3.5-4 miles several times a week for months now, but am just now trying to run. Baby steps...

    @MorningGhost14: At 160 miles, you are the thread’s “Most likely to wear out your shoes this month” award winner
    @mom3over40, @dawniemate: Welcome

    It’s a new month, goal is 60 miles again…
    Dec 1: Advent begins. Light mist but warm (low 50s), still a little bit of hip twinge, nice and slow this morning, 4.44 miles.

    @Pandora_and_her_box I have done two other full marathons, but this is my first time doing LA! Super excited about it!

    I'm going have another attempt at 60 miles. I know I can do it. Today's run was against the wind and I can feel the effect on my chest. I'll be glued to accuweather all month to pick any settled spells. At least work is calmer so I'll be able to pull on my gear and run if there's a break in the clouds.

    Good luck everyone with your targets and up coming races and training plans!

    Starting off the month with a 4 mile tempo run. My first run since taking a couple weeks complete rest after my little marathon series in the fall. Kept a good pace, pushing the LT range, and everything is feeling fine post-run. So excited!

    12/1 - 4 mile lactate threshold run

    Total 4 of 125 miles

    Been a while since I posted in the group so I'm back and I'm in for 40k. But I'll be starting slow because my hip is killing me every time I run, so I'm taking two (maybe more) weeks off. Got to let it heal.

    You try some professional PT? Wishing you a speedy recovery!

    @kimlight2 piriformis injury? I have bilateral piriformis syndrome. Left side has been debilitating. It's not easy to get over. Wishing you a speedy recovery too!

    Nice kicks, @kareF ! I have a pair of my Saucony Guide 8s in a ridiculous (but fun!) purple color on my Christmas list. While they've been sitting there, they've been reduced from $110 to $80. I need to tell my husband that if he doesn't get them soon, *I* will! I do want to try some other brands, too. My local running store has a deal on right now where you can get 4 race entries throughout next year plus a pair of shoes for $200. Thinking about it...

    12/1 3.5 @ 11:17 on the treadmill plus strength training

    Same thing only mine is on the right side. That is why I am trying to take it easy and not aggravate it to much.

    I've been a slacker in October and November but hope to get back on track in December. I'm in for 100 miles in December.

    For all of us running in Cold - Winter Temps
    q26w4mv1yado.jpg

    This is a great baseline to figure out what to wear in colder temps but I'd encourage everyone running in the cold for the first time this winter (this includes me) to keep notes on what you wore at different temps AND different wind conditions and if it was too little, too much, or not enough.

    We all have different tolerances for cold. For instance, I have to wear shorts down to 35F or I'll get too hot. I also don't consider a second top layer until the temp drops to 30F. The accessories, on the other hand, are fairly accurate for me. Of course, the windier it is, the more I'll need to wear so I have to take that into account as well.

    Totally missed my goal last month. I knew it was going to be a little bit of a stretch with family in town. I have been ignoring my all important stretches and yoga causing me to deal with planter fasciitis for over a week now. KT Tape and stretching has really helped and I think I am ready to go.
