Survived my 2nd Half! It was brutal and I went out too fast and then died the 2nd half but I finished! The weather was perfect, the area was beautiful (vineyards) but the hills were killers! My nephew had a blast (this was his first race and he has only been running for 3 months). He finished under 2 hours which was his goal. I can say I did it but I honestly don't think I will run this one again. We did have fun drinking beer and wine with everyone afterwards (yes at 10 am

Just back from a long weekend escape for my birthday. If any of you climbed Mt Monadnock in NH last weekend & saw the chic in fire orange fall on her assets; I have no idea who that was
This was my first time on a zip line and OOh My So gonna do that again!!!!
@stmadoesboy Nice work hitting your goal early while on holiday!! No sunbathing on my vacation, but my girlfriends definitely thought I was crazy for getting up early to run after partying late.
@MrsKGrady
Listen to your doctor...the walking will keep you active & you'll be running again. btw LOVE the new profile pic!!! Was that for a race?
@ShortMrsN sorry to hear about the nerve pain, I've struggled with sciatica off & on in the past & there is hope. Stretching, PT, massage, or even a chiropractor may be the key, but don't be discouraged. You'll beat this!
@skippygirlsmom 11.79 miles WHOO-HOO!!! You are killin' it out there!!!
@Stoshew71 you had a 20 miler back there on the 18th & I missed it, NICE! & Thanks again for doing this. I really look forward to seeing everyone's progress here.
@ddmom0811 Great new PR!
Can't wait to hear about your successful Thanksgiving race.
@shanaber 2 halfs in the same month- You are awesome. It was SO great of you to do this with your nephew. Running for just 3 months & a HM in under 2hrs, imagine how fast he'll be next time-he has a lifetime sport now! And for the win- post race Wine at 10am! Love it!!
To everyone who surpassed their goals already(or doubled them) GO YOU!!! To everyone like me who is still trying to get theirs, We got this!!! To everyone who doesn't think they're going to reach their goal but is still running anyway, You are the greatest among us. It is better to have tried and lost than to have never tried at all.

I just realized that elliptical and stationary bike don't count. Therefore, I won't be meeting my goal this month then, because walking and jogging (inside or outside) both hurt my feet too much until I get some shoes. I don't remember my mileage before I started using the elliptical and bike, so I will just join November's challenge.
Happy walking/jogging/running to everyone.

Sorry I have not been posting/running/commenting...my life decided I need to experience a different kind of challenge. I went off the road on the way to work on the 17th and my car was determined to be a total loss. No injuries but it has been one heck of a whirlwind trying to get all of this sorted out. Got a goal to run one mile today just to get going again. I missed my half on Saturday which I'm still sad about but will look forward to running it next year. I'm seeing same crazy mileage and awesome progress on all of your goals! Well done!0

Oh Dear, how frightening - a car accident definitely puts goals in perspective. I'm so glad no one was hurt, things can be replaced you are irreplaceable.HealthyFocused715 wrote: »Sorry I have not been posting/running/commenting...my life decided I need to experience a different kind of challenge.

There will be other races, this is only a temporary setback. I'm glad to see you've already gotten out there & started running again; this momentary affliction won't break you!
You my man, I want to give a good kick in the pants to, but I'm more of a hold your hand and cheer you through it kind of gal. First this month did not suck. It didn't go down the way we all hoped, but look at everything you accomplished. You've run 85 miles! Remember when a 5K was hard? You've run the equivalent to 27 5Ks this month. In 1 single day you ran 38 miles. Do you know how few people on the face of this entire planet can say they've done that? Do you know how few people could even walk that far? Wolf, YOU RAN IT. You've already decided you won't hit your annual goal this year. Want to talk about self-fulfilling prophesies? So you're 100 miles behind, that's huge, but it's not an impossible distance to make up. I really believe you can do this, if you set your feet & your mind to it. Don't give up.LoneWolfRunner wrote: »This was a total suck-*kitten* month of running... missed my monthly goal, realized I will not hit the annual goal I set for myself and took a DNF on a race...

Decided to start the Couch to 10K but starting on week 9 since I’ve been doing the week 8 from the Couch to 5K for about a month.
I don’t think I want to run a 10K at this point but I want to add mileage. I didn’t think I would like it - run 10 mins, walk 1 min and repeat 4 times but I did like it. My running app said I went 4.4 but of course 3 minutes of it was walking... but I guess I can still count it.
Only one or two more running days for me this month so I don’t think I’ll hit the 50 goal I had set, but I had no idea what goal to set when I started. I'm still in shock that I am running at all - so it's all good!

You my man, I want to give a good kick in the pants to, but I'm more of a hold your hand and cheer you through it kind of gal. First this month did not suck. It didn't go down the way we all hoped, but look at everything you accomplished. You've run 85 miles! Remember when a 5K was hard? You've run the equivalent to 27 5Ks this month. In 1 single day you ran 38 miles. Do you know how few people on the face of this entire planet can say they've done that? Do you know how few people could even walk that far? Wolf, YOU RAN IT. You've already decided you won't hit your annual goal this year. Want to talk about self-fulfilling prophesies? So you're 100 miles behind, that's huge, but it's not an impossible distance to make up. I really believe you can do this, if you set your feet & your mind to it. Don't give up.
I want you for my life coach!
