    On another topic - today is our 19 year wedding anniversary!!! we will be celebrating that tomorrow - with a run :bigsmile: and a healthy dinner :happy:

    Congrats, on the anniversary and feeling better.

    11/12/28 - 1 mile total (HIIT)
    11/12/29 - 4 miles. It was supposed to be 5, but I was short on time and it was on the treadmill. 4 miles on the dreadmill is quite an accomplishment for me but it was that or brave the windy, cold track. Cold I can handle, but high winds + cold, nope.

    I have a 6 miler scheduled for Saturday, which would put me over my goal.

    4 is pretty much my max on the elliptical or treadmill as well, unless I watch something extra exciting on the TV - like a scary movie. I managed 5 when I watched Julia's Eyes earlier this week - a super scary Spanish movie with lots of running & chasing :laugh:

    I can't update my ticker b/c I am not in my laptop, but +6 miles today - that makes my grand total 55.1. Goal reached!!

    I have to say if it wasn't for this group, I would not have run today. I am between backshifts and coming down with a cold. It was snowing/raining (at least it was pretty warm). I would have just put it off until tomorrow if it weren't for meeting my goal

    I am happy you made it - it is a great feeling! YOU must join us in January too :tongue: I understand you may need to recoperate from your cold though... although for me (and for some colds) exercise helps me.... depends on teh cold though...if is flu like I just need to rest....

    Oh I am in for January. Have to be ready for my half marathon in Feb. I just have to figure my goal based on my training program.

    Edit - My goal will be 55 again.

    GREAT!

    Exciting about the half!!!! Which program are you using? I am running a half as well, and I am looking at Galloway, and Hal Hidgon. I will probably modify the programs a bit to fit my schedule better... but i am interested in opinions on other programs as well... My half is in middle of March.

    I was going to do a Hal program but decided to go with the Runners World Smart Coach app. I already had it downloaded. I wanted to find one that had me doing race distance or close to it prior to the race. A lot of them seemed to top out at 10 miles. I didn't like the idea of having 3 more left to do that I hadn't run before. And I was already doing 9 milers.

    Got in 7 more miles yesterday! January will be slow...hard to go long distance on the treadmill. But this challenge inspired me to set a year goal of at least 1000 miles (did 900 in 2011). My hope is to pass that early & see just how far I can go....we'll say my stretch goal is 1500. This year I will train for my first full as I completed four half's this year.
