    pretty proud of the fact that this is going to be my highest milage month yet, despite the cold, snow, and holidays!

    December isn't a great month for hitting 50miles, weather, Christmas, *insert excuse here*
    But I will definitely be up for it in January.

    Maybe create a proper group rather than a forum page.

    According to Mapmyrun, my distances are:
    September (when I started MFP and added a daily walk to work day lunch) - 13.3miles
    October 48.3miles
    November - 50.8miles :happy:
    December - 34.25miles but won't get much more

    have a nagging overuse injury flaring back up, have to skip the next couple runs to rest it but will hopefully be able to squeeze one in before January :/
