    I let the excuses pile up in April with my work and getting ready for sister's wedding so I need to redeem myself in May. I will aim for 60 miles.

    Can you put me down for 115

    Sure - but you will need to track your own mileage (see the first page of the thread). The spreadsheet is very easy to use. Here is a link:

    Wow, so many on my FL do this one. I guess I can track in 2 places? I already have a goal of 130 on my own thread.

    I changed mine to 200 instead of 250 for the month. By the time the marathon is done on the 25th, I will have done 207 miles and probably won't want to do much running after that for a while! :)

    April did not go as planned, but I am going to pick up in May! I am hoping for 100 miles this month, but hopefully I will do more. :smile:

    May the fourth be with you everyone!

    13.2 miles for the day, 25 for an abbreviated first week. I'm ready to pound out some serious miles next week because the week after that I will be participating in a running study that limits me to 40 miles per week.

    Updated the spreadsheet!

    I finished week 2 with 69.9 miles. I was shooting for 70 but miscalculated...oh well, close enough!

    For the rest of the month I am limited to 40 mpw due to a running study I am participating in.

    Keep on running / logging, folks!

    Alright, I am finally back.

    In March, I missed badly on my original goal of 135, and barely got 100 miles in.

    This was due to a case of PF that was flaring up and which, to my regret, I ignored.

    That trashed most of my April running (I got a total of just over 30 miles in in April).

    Due to that, I didn't want to put a goal that I know I would push for in May until I felt I was REALLY over the PF.

    All systems appear to be go, and I ramped back up to 18 - 20 miles last week with no ill effects. So I'm in...

    90 miles for the month is the goal.

    I'm back and feeling better about getting going on my training again. I think I've decided to use Hansons Marathon Method to train for my first full.. and that means Miles, miles and more miles coming up later this year.
