Check-in here for:
September Week 4 5 and 6 (Sunday 09/16 - Sunday 09/30)
Remember, folks, there's a new system for recording your numbers -- you'll need to visit the spreadsheet below and record your information on the first tab. The second tab tallies the results.
http://is.gd/MFPseptember
(that's a shortened version of the full link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkmK3myW0PepdF9PUUhKTE1vRHJ0OWU4R3hJdzhvdmc&usp=sharing )
To get started, you need to enter your name and your GOAL for September. Let us know in the comments if you have any difficulties doing this. Then, enter your mileage each day. Everything should be automatically tallied on the second page of the spreadsheet -- please DON'T edit the second page!. Let us know if it's not working and we'll fix it!
Important: Enter your name/goal at the bottom of the list; we'll sort it periodically. It doesn't work to add a name to the middle!
*** Spreadsheet:
As usual -- to refresh the spreadsheet -> click the refresh :happy: button on your browser, or try CTRL+R then CTRL + F5 a couple of times if you are using the Windows OS, or replace the CTRL key with Command key if you are on a MAC, or, Command+R and then Command+Shift+R on a MAC. We will try to update this a few times each week, or you can always visit the Google Doc spreadsheet if you have any questions!

Beautiful morning for a run here in North Carolina. Sunny skies and about 57 degrees. I ran 12 miles with 5 members of my running club and had fantastic conversation the whole way. Picked it up for the last couple miles.
Week 3: 46.9
MTD: 105.90 -
Awesome weather for a run here today too! I ran the best 8 miles I've run since summer started. It must be something in the air, because all of my runner friends have made the same comment! I don't know if it is temperature, oxygen content, or air quality, but it is most welcome!

Missed this thread and posted in old thread :flowerforyou:
Here is my update:
:flowerforyou: :glasses:
I like (no ) this new google doc system - thanks Dave :flowerforyou: , it is really nice to see everyone's progress every day, and how you accomplish your weekly mileage.
It picks me up to see progress at this granularity (daily).:glasses:
-- I did a 15K today at a 8:33 average pace (1:19:45 time according to my Garmin). I am super happy b/c my 10K and distances above have not been good at all this year, so this is finally a pace where I was in 2012.
The course was slightly hilly, but not too bad, and my mind zonked out at the last 2 miles even though I do think I had the fitness to keep my earlier pace. Still the final time made me super happy and feeling energized. [it may be b/c I did not supplement with gel, not sure about that ?).
I cooled down later on, on the treadmill watching the first episode of "Annika Bengtzon: Crime Reporter", for another 7.5 miles and that felt really nice and relaxing. Great show for the tread -b/c it makes me RUN :drinker: :bigsmile:
Another week of 40 + miles YAY! Slightly worried I am doing too much too quickly, but I am really trying to be aware what my body is telling me, and right now it is saying keep doing what I am doing.
Second week of 40+ ever! feeling I am getting there.0 -
Great job j_courter! maybe it is *you* and simply b/c you are getting more fit!! YAY!
Carson that is an awesome week! WOW! can't wait to see nexst week :glasses:0 -
Dave that is really an impressive mileage as well! And I love group runs!0

Sprained my ankle badly last Sunday while running downhill on a bridge. Did a slow and easy 5.1 miles today. Still hoping to make my goal for the month!

Good job to everyone! I am still trying to work my mileage back up since the accident. It's been a long eight weeks.
Since my full marathon training was sidelined, I am just trying to get back to my normal half-marathon running base.
9/15 - 8.25 miles
9/16 - 11 miles
Happy running, friends!0 -
Cooriander- great pace on that 15k! i'm guessing a little energy gel at or around minute 45 would have been very helpful for those last two miles. i find that if i go much over an hour and ten minutes, i'm needing the gels to keep pace and mental clarity. (and i'm nowhere near as fast as you!) keep up the great work!0

j_court! I think you are right! My brain really played tricks on my and I was not really sane at the end LOL. so true! My brain was telling me that 15K was 9.6 miles instead of 9.3M... so WEIRD (now in retrospect). But I am glad that happened because now I can mitigate that better.
I am getting scared for my first marathon .... I have only done 16.6 miles so far for a long run and that is with 3-5 minute break in between each 6 miles or so .... So not a continuous 17 miler (rounding).
I am considering trying for 18M long run this weekend, I realize that is not optimal (because it is close to the 14 days of tapering). Would it really be terrible to do this? I think it will help my confidence. Thoughts???0 -

I upped my goal from 150 to 200 miles. The weather has been much nicer then expected when the original goal was set, hopefully it'll stay nice the rest of the month.
Btw, I really like the new system!0 -

i'd better get some miles in. we're over halfway through the month! i'm hoping for a 20 miler this weekend, so that should help.0 -
