    6 miles on 10/14. That brings me to 32.5 total so far with with 17.5 to go! I m having knee trouble so I may take some days off...

    Took 8 days off from running to help my knee. Ran 3.6 yesterday so a total of 36.1 miles with 13.9 to go.

    Ran my first 5k this morning - 3.1 miles. 39.2 so far with 10.8 to go (7 on the scedule tomorrow). that week off for my knee is making me cut it close - but I got this.

    I just seen this post. Will there be a November challenge also for beginners? I would join that...

    If I were to start this challenge now I would only have 9.83 miles to count at the moment.

    2.85 on Monday and 4.18 today - 7/50 on the month! Planning a 5mile run on Saturday :)


    5.1 run today, bring me up to 12.1/50 on the month!


    2 mile walk last night and 4.18 run today bringing me up to 18.2 :)

    3.05 today, bringing me up to 21.25 :) Almost halfway there - have a 6.2 mile this weekend!

    6.16 run and .5 mile walk today, bringing me up to 27.91 miles on the month - on track for over 50!


    3 mile run and .5 mile walk today, bring me up to 31.41! :)


    4 mile run, 1/2 mile warm up and 1/2 mile cool down, bring me up to 36.41 :)


    yikes, my third post in a row! Where's everyone else?

    Couldn't run today because I have a race tomorrow but went for a brisk 1.35 mile walk today, bringing me up to 37.76 miles on the month!

    Ran a 5K this morning (new PR too!) so that 3.1miles brings me up to 40.86. My training plan has me at 15 miles this week so I think I'll be over 50 by Wednesday - 8 miles of running and an extra mile of warmup on the 5 mile run and then the 3 mile run, so yay!

    5.03 run this morning with 1/2 mi warmup and 1/2 mi cool down walks, bringing me up to 46.89. Almost there!

    3 mile run with a .625 mile cooldown walk and a 1/2 mile warm up walk, bring me to 51.01! Target met, a week of October left and 15 miles on my training plan by 10/31...doing well! :D


    6.2 yestederday (my first 10k!) bringing me up to 57.21!

    Sorry I started my birthday 10.15. I will log another 4 miles tonight....

    So my Oct. totals will be 38.76 short of the month goal of 50 miles.... but it is something.
