    @ LoneWolf- Excellent mileage my friend!
    I'm so screamin' jealous that I'd throw myself a pity party if I didn't like you so much!
    Do I dare ask- what's your goal for the year?

    :-)
    I'm shooting for 2,000....

    just joining. I know it's sad, but since I don't get to run every day, I'm hoping this will help keep me on track :)

    (I hope this works)
    I know, people are working super hard and I wish I could run like them, but I'm a n00b so I'm aiming for 40 for this month and if I reach it, I'll aim for 45 for November :)

    Total - 10.68 miles
    Goal - 55 miles

    Had such a great run yesterday - had to be up super early for a conference call and went for a run right after. Was awarded with an amazing sunrise and cool run (it was 105 here later in the day!). All I could think of was why haven't I been doing this and how did I get out of the habit of starting my day this way? Time for a change!

    10/1: 6.10 miles
    10/3: 1.35 miles
    10/4: 13 miles (It was 40 degrees F when I started, and the clothes I wore allowed me to toss my phone into my pocket instead of holding it. I thought this was a positive until I realized about 8 miles into the run, when I looked at the phone for the first time, that I hadn't actually turned Runkeeper on when I started the run. I know the distances on my route, so am pretty sure about the mileage, but I hate not having the exact number and split speeds now that I'm used to it.)

    I want to join. I'll set up the ticker later.

    I think I will set my goal to be 120 miles for October.

    3.10. - 3.7 km
    4.10. - 6.5 km

    Needed to pick something up from the post office and had the brilliant idea to combine that with exercise by running there and back. It turns out that running with a (albeit small) parcel in the hand is annoying. Something to remember for the future... :wink:

    Today I ran farther than I ever have before, so I'm really proud of myself for that. It really wasn't bad except for the last half mile or so I was cramping, but I powered through.

    @dharkan & lemurcat12 :laugh: - so sad for you both, but SO relieved to learn I'm not the only one who does this.

    @shanaber- Sweet run, sounds stunning! 105, in October, really?:noway: I don't think New Hampshire's ever 105.

    @nocull- Some days are like this, so we say 'I am a runner' and we run. Keep it up!

    I am so ready for it to cool off - I am not much for hot weather under the best of circumstances and this is just annoying!

    I was so looking forward to the long training run this weekend. Hit my goal of 8 miles for the long run this week. My GPS was flaky though, so I can't get the fractional miles, but I do know it was 8.something miles!

    10/1 - 4.06 miles
    10/4 - 8 miles
