SIXTY-SEVEN?!?! Where you going to put them all?3 -
Air quality has been funky lately, and it doesn't look like it's getting any better for December. Plus *kitten* has hit the fan at work - people have been quitting left and right, and we are a small department so that's a lot of slack to pull. But meh, excuses. Going for 60km this month, with hopefully more lifting.
Monthly question 1: inspirations
Y'all. What everybody else said.
Monthly question 2: 2019 goals
Run more consistently. Averaging out at 25km a week would be nice. Oh and I'd really like to do a 50k trail race.
That must be going around. I swear we're on the verge of mutiny. I bought headphones for work so i don't have to listen to it all day long.
Good luck in 2019 for a 50k. I think the one in Hawaii is still open for registration, if you wanna/need to get away and join us!
End of year blues I guess. Can't pull a 50k out of my hat just yet, but hmmm, you've got me thinking!

Ok! I got it this month! I'm only 2.5 days (10 pages) behind. l
Works not as busy and I have some time off coming up so I'm going to try to maintain a presence in this forum. I'm in for 200 miles this month. I'm currently training for a March marathon and I've cut my races way back for the beginning of 2019 to give training my full attention. I'll try to slowly read back and see how everyone's doing.

I am setting my goal at 75 miles again. In late October, I started running for the first time in 32 years. Sunday, I achieved my goal of running a mile nonstop. This month, I want to build on that and run a 5k by the new year.

12/1 - run 9.1k
12/2 - planned rest day
12/3 - run 17k
Got in a 10+miler today! I went slowly enough to keep my heart rate mostly out of the "red zone" on my watch, and I think my last adjustment of the zone numbers brought it close enough to be helpful for me, rather than something I ignore on my watch. It felt great, other than some weird and painful toe cramping when I stopped at a light. It kept happening until I stopped and took off my extra sock. I may have used the sock to blow my nose before stuffing it in my pocket and running on

Aww @mbaker566 what adorable puppies... so much work! Thank you for all you do for them!
Thanks to @Elise4270, @katharmonic and @Scott6255 for the birthday wishes. After my morning run, my husband made us pizza for brunch, then we both took a nap for a couple hours. We had a relaxing afternoon and met our oldest and his gf for dinner. A pretty uneventful day, overall.
This morning I took the dogs for a walk. About an hour? I'm not sure as I didn't pay attention to the time when we left, didn't start my Garmin (and didn't have autostart set on it either).5 -
No run for me this morning. Had a crap sleep - the kids have started waking when ever we get a thunder storm. Got up before my alarm, and spent half an hour on the loo with bad tummy cramps. I thought I was going to pass out. It seems to have eased, I'm back in bed, about to eat toast and hope it's just hunger or something cause I don't want to miss work.9
Two puppies sounds exhausting!
