pa2b- way to go! you rock!
i got 2.5 in this morning... i'm getting close! my friday run and 10k on sunday ought to put me over my goal for the month!0 -
4 miles in the park yesterday -some flare up of the left heel... but still felt GREAT, (9.35 miles/minute pace -- would love to get down below 8 ... ! ... wonder how long that will take!).
Need to do 4 a day to make it - it is so doable - yes.0 -
So I changed my target goal which I still haven't met based on a 15% increase from my normal running schedule. I would rather work toward a reachable goal and next month challenge myself to another 15% increase. I was running 3.1 miles 4 times a week putting around 50 miles a month so my October goal is now set at 57.5 miles. November 66.1 miles and so forth.0

Wow we are kicking here! Yay! Yay! Yay!
I did a 4 miler in the same park as yesterday solo. I fell flat on my face on the third mile but ended up just with a little scratch on my knee. It was going uphill so it was not too bad (less distance to the ground). he he.
I feel right now I AM going to MAKE my goal!!! Still some heel pain but it was duller than yesterday. I hope I do some cross training this evening with some resistance! We will see!0 -

that is a very good strategy to ease into it. But I bet in November that you will go over by a big margin (:0 -

Wow, just realised I haven't updated my numbers since 10th October - don't know where I've been at!!!
As of 10th Oct I was on 58.46 miles - so here goes with my updates
Looking at this I think my numbers have gone a bit mad so I'm just going to start again, list everything from the beginning of the month and see where we're at!
1 Oct - 3.78 miles
2 Oct - 7.99 miles
4 Oct - 6.52 miles
6 Oct - 5.69 miles
9 Oct - 10.36 miles
11 Oct - 7.03 miles
13 Oct - 6.93 miles
16 Oct - 10.02 miles
18 Oct - 6.75 miles
20 Oct - 5.87 miles
22 Oct - 4.79 miles
23 Oct - 10.9 miles
25 Oct - 7.62 miles
27 Oct - 5.72 miles
So that gives me an overall total of: 100.06!!!!!!! Whoop whoop!!!! And still got 2 runs (one short, one long) to go before the end of the month.0 -
Ran 5 yesterday and I have a 5k tomorrow morning. I'm getting close to my goal!0

Let's go Guys....I am done with my goal for the month but will be padding on the mileage with a couple more runs before November first. I challenge you all to keep moving. It is not about finishing first, or being in the top ten. It is all about making a goal and then doing your best to reach it. Sometimes we may fall short for a variety of reason, but as long as we don't give up, we are WINNERS. Remember that in January of this year, the thought of 100miles was only associated with a car. Now we are doing it on foot. That is a major accomplishment for anyone, much less a group of fatties on MFP. Keep moving forward my friends(in the words of Roe), and remember that you can never reach your goals, if you don't have any.
Proud of each and every one of you, and Barbie, you are truly a beast.0 -
Since we are winding down at the end an intermediate update, as a group we are now in the GREEN (over half see legend that denotes the percentage we have left until the goal.
A NOTE!!! We all should be proud because EVERY SINGLE PERSON on the list is progressing consistently, and steadily! CONGRATS!
