    @Scott6255 Wow!! That is a lot of miles. So impressive!

    @tarun_yadavA I was stunned!

    @eleanorhawkins That race course sounds tough to plan for. Having so much elevation on the back end will take some restraint at the beginning. I bet a lot of people go out too fast and suffer through the hills.

    9/29: 6 miles

    That's it for my Sept. I didn't miss any runs but I cut a few a little short and that added up to a few miles. Overall I'm really happy with how training is going so far. I'm sticking to my plan and while my legs are tired leading up to a rest day, that's the point, and I'm able to do what is being asked of me so far.
    Went to a park after work for my run. It has a nice crushed granite running trail and loops for miles. Now that it's getting cooler I will be here a lot more when I have to work at this site. It's so nice to have an option that isn't concrete sidewalks.

    115.24/100 miles completed for September

    It was another beautiful morning for running. I ran 5.5 miles. I have really been enjoying the lower temperatures and the low humidity and dew point. I was hoping to see some deer, but I didn't see any critters today. I did stop to see Lilly the donkey. Her owner came out to let her dogs out. The little one, Coco, came barking at me and grabbed my shoestring, but didn't snap at me or anything. She just yapped at me. The bigger dog just wanted to be petted and the medium dog didn't pay much attention to me at all. I also saw a couple of loose dogs by the park, but they didn't bother me.

    I am still behind reading this thread. This week has been really busy and stressful at work. I'm glad for rhe running. Plus, I have been doing my mile a day streak. I haven't decided if I will walk tomorrow or get in a short run. In addition to the mile a day streak this month, my husband and I have been doing a 30 day bedtime yoga challenge. It has been really nice doing yoga together and I hope we will continue with it.

    Hi all!!!

    Wait... There's a Strava group too??

    My goal for this month... Maybe a more conservative 120 (down from August's 140, which I exceeded with 158.5).

    Due a rest day imminently and may take another this month. Also, may just stick to 7k (rather than 9k), just so I don't injured myself or 'pull anything'.
    I know we do it monthly here... But my annual goal is 1500 (and I'm currently on 1092, with 4M to go)

    My end of September stats... 139.5 (shoulda maybe just gone with 140!)

    @shanaber – Thanks for taking the heat off @tarun_yadavA and setting up October!

    @eleanorhawkins – Dang! 15 times? I would say you showed that hill who was boss! Enjoy your well-deserved taper. I’ve seen @quilteryoyo posting on the feed. I think she’s been really busy the past couple of weeks at daycare and another part-time job.

    @kgirlhart – Your yoga workouts are so inspiring. I’ve done Yoga with Adriene a couple of times this week and always feel so much better.

    @martaindale – Great consistency on your runs. You ran almost every day this month.

    @marisap2010 - Good Luck with the race! I love that shirt/jacket!
    @katharmonic - So happy to see your update and that your shoulder is improving! Oh and also that it isn't a torn rotator cuff!
    I caught our skunk one night trying to get into the metal dog food container and coerced him/her out of the garage with a few bits of kibble but then we discovered that it was sleeping during the day behind our dryer. I keep looking cautiously whenever I go out there but we have blocked the area where we think it was coming in.

    That's not that bad... only a few months for you! 😂😂😂

    117.35/100 miles completed for September

    Today's run was a short 2 miler for the streak. That finished September with 117 miles. It was a good month for running for me. The last few days have been really nice. I am hoping to get some nice days in October before it starts to get cold. See you all over in the October thread. Thanks for setting us up @shanaber!

    Great running everyone! Good luck on Sunday @marisap2010 !
