OK... just hit the halfway mark with a week to go so I really do admit defeat. Even so, I'm still going and, well, I've just committed to this running malarkey and signed up to a 10K next June #bonkers!

@queenmedusa and @fabnine - you both are too kind!
Queenmedusa - don't admit defeat, it's not defeat not to reach your goal, it's defeat to never try! Always be proud of what you accomplish!!!

Last month you set a goal of 8 miles & you beat it with 10 1/2 miles. You've already run almost 16 miles this month. That's about 1.5 times last months mileage & double last months goal! (Math Geeks close your eyes here, I'm making a point not being exact.) You really are improving! (*) You set a huge goal for yourself & you've been running your heart out to hit it. Somewhere in there you realized this: " running more of my route, and faster. I like it!!!" You're doing something you enjoy, that will keep you healthy. Sounds like a win to me.

Awesome news! Congratulations.alyssareyans wrote: »Goal= 60 miles Completed=55.22 Remaining=4.78
Holy freaking cow! I am less than FIVE miles from hitting my monthly goal. I have NEVER hit my monthly goal before. This is my third time participating and I am just ecstatic that not only will I hit my goal but I might actually surpass it. That is just beyond amazing to me.
Any little bit will help in the long run. Whatever you do this month, you can always try for better next month.October 20th- 1 mile
A little worried about meeting my meager goal since I'll be out of commission Thursday, Friday, and probably Saturday. Darn skin cancer prevention.
Me too!I would take cold and rainy any time over hot and humid, even over hot and dry!
Best wishes!Another half this Sunday - my 2nd this month... only because I promised my nephew to run a race with him and he picked it It is through wine country so it should be beautiful and pretty hilly but there will be wine at the end!!
AWESOME job!golfbrew_matt wrote: »Wow, goal reached early!!! Might have to set a stretch goal of 75 miles now.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.I have my second 5K on Sunday. Hoping to beat my PB of 30:10.
AWESOME! Great job!!!alyssareyans wrote: »Goal= 60 miles Completed=60.19 Remaining=GOAL!
First time ever hitting my monthly goal.
