    Heck with it, gonna say 150 for full marathon plan training miles.

    Also, I'm really tempted to wear my new shoes for my run tomorrow, but I'm not sure wearing them for an 8n mile progression run is the best idea....despite the fact that I got them for faster running.

    Think I can risk it?

    Tentative goal: ~60ish miles (~15/wk). I may step up the long runs and increase that though - I'm considering registering for a spring half (hadn't previously considered it - since I usually get a bit out of shape in the winter, but ran 10 miles and PR'd it on the freak warm weekend 2 weeks ago).

    @MNLittleFinn Have you run in them yet? If so, and it went well, I'd go for it. If they were still a bit uncomfortable, I'd wait and do some more short, easy runs 1st. I got my new shoes last Tuesday, and I only did one 10 mile run in my old shoes since that was the 2nd day I had them. They felt a little awkward the 1st day (Tuesday), and I wasn't "sold." I wore them again on Thursday and thought they felt a little awkward when I put them on, but once I started running, they felt great! I did a 6 mile pace run on Saturday and a 12 mile long run on Sunday. I no longer have any desire to run in my old shoes unless maybe it's yucky out so I don't get my new shoes all scrungy looking. Lol!

    I'm back for 80, stretch goal 100. Although it is a short month, and I always run uphill, with the sun and wind in my face ...

    bolded part = hilarious!



    I guess I'm going for 60. Which may be pushing it seeing how the past 2 months have gone. But that's only 15 miles per week! I can do this :#

    Haven't run in them yet. Got them in the mail last night and today was a rest day. I tried them on last night and just walked around the house a bit, and they felt nice. My options are wear them tomorrow for 8 miles, or wait for Friday's 4 mile run.

    Managed 112 in January, but there were 5 long run days in the month because there were 5 Sundays. This month is likely to be slightly less, as not only is it a shorter month but it somehow has 2 cut-back weeks in it, so I'll go for 100 as a goal again :)

    I'd either wait for the 4 mile run or switch my days around to do the 4 mile run tomorrow because I'd have a hard time waiting. Lol!

    I'll be aiming for 40 miles in February as I begin a 10 week training calendar for a 10 mile road race on April 9th. I'll also make cross-training a part of my goal with a target of at least 8 XT workouts.

    The real February goals are to survive the logistics of getting to and from Bend, OR for the masters cross country championship, train well toward Boston, and avoid injury.

    I'll set a nominal mileage goal of 225 miles. Adding the weekly target miles in the Boston plan comes out a little higher, but I think I may lose some miles due to traveling to Bend.
