    I had 10 miles the first week of October (I mistakenly thought I had 13, but I realized that the first run of that week was September 30 :smile:).

    Last week I had 16.75 miles.

    Total so far: 26.75/50

    This week I should have around 18 or so to add to the total. I know I won't "win" the challenge, but I will probably make it to 50 by the end of the month! Yay me!

    It's not about the time, it's about crossing the finish line (that's what I keep telling myself).

    10/13: 2.5-mile run...C25K 30-second runs and 60-second walks plan. I was working on my speed and switched it up a bit by running as fast as I could for 30 seconds, slowing it down a bit for the first 30 seconds (to my normal running pace, which is really more of a jog. lol) of the walk interval, and then walking the remaining 30 seconds.

    Agreed! I am really excited that I'm probably going to make/break 50 miles this month!! 6 months ago that would have seemed totally impossible that I would actually be able to run that far in a month.

    This is awesome! Isn't it great to do what wasn't before possible! Yay!

    Total Miles To Date: 9.6 / 20.4 to 30 mile goal

    I'm a day behind schedule. I had a boyscout camp out this weekend which didn't leave me time for a run. But that's okay! I walked over 9 miles on the one day - just can't count it here due to it wasn't C25K training time.

    No my goal is 50

    Thanks!

    With all the effort that's going into our running month, I want to send everyone a postcard. I love hearing all of your running stories.

    I've started tracking my running sessions on RunningAHEAD. Last month I gave myself a goal of 120Km and didn't make it. Close but no cigar. This month I'm trying for the same goal of 120Km and am well on-track to making it. Not sure if I will, of course, but it's heartening to see that I may do it this month and to notice a definite improvement.

    Just tracking is a major win. Thanks, Becky, for coming up with the idea!

    Oct 16: Week 2, Day 3 of program, 2.1 miles Strava: http://www.strava.com/activities/89472444

    Total Miles To Date: 11.7 / 18.3 to 30 mile goal

    I don't know if I'm going to make it unless I starting running more days. I'm averaging about 2 miles per run and I would need 9 more runs to make 30 miles.

    I ran back to back days to catch myself back up to schedule but that didn't feel very good.

    Love your motivation poster! Are you still on the C25k program? If so, don't push yourself past the program guidelines.
