So everyone....quick little fun challenge for the last bit of the month. Think of a place you like to visit or a place you frequent that is about the distance from how far you have traveled this month, and share it with us.
I have ran to Graceland and ran back. (Graceland is 20 miles from my house)
Fun idea!
I've been keeping track of my miles (walking & running) on RunningAHEAD. So far this month, I've travelled 117Km (my goal is 120). I've run at least 2/3 of that, probably more.
This means that I have run from Port Coquitlam to Chiliwack and back home OR I have run almost to Hope (133Km from home). According to milemeter.com, I am currently at a junction on the highway with an option to go right to Hope or left along the TransCanada Highway, through the Fraser Canyon.
That's amazing when it's put in perspective like this.0 -

For me I'll need to include tomorrow's 5.5 mile and Thursday's 3 mile run to get to 47 miles. So by the end of the month, I will have run the distance from home to Grant Park in Chicago where I will run the Hot Chocolate 5k on Sunday. Sounds rather fitting to me :happy:0 -

That is so profoundly true. Every day you've run will have gotten you to that start line. Every step you've taken will propel you to the finish.0 -

That's what I keep thinking about as I run/walk my way through the program. I won't make the 30 miles by the end of October but every run has gotten me closer.

I actually track steps for all my activities plus bike rides and with that I'm at 174 miles for the month. Not bad to date.0 -

That would be a run to Tunica, MS and back for me. That is a long ways.0 -
Today was a very painful 3 miles at lunch. First run since my cold set in. Thought I was feeling better, BUT....
In any event, now at 48.1. Need one more run this month and I'm there!
That would bring me to the top of Sleeping Giant and back. Cool, since we hiked up as a family for the first time last weekend (though we drove to the base and didn't run there:)).0 -
Haven't updated in a while...
I've done over 26.75 miles. Nine of those miles was during one run with no breaks! :bigsmile: Since then, I've restarted C25K (on October 23rd) and most of those miles are since then. I got bored with running after finishing C25K. When I first started it in August, I was anxious to run before and after work. But, that feeling went away after I finished. Now, I've gotten back into the habit of running after work and in the mornings. Now, I just have to start biking again. :laugh:0 -

I have to have a race and a training plan to stay motivated. Good job on the mileage!
I looked at a map yesterday and there wasn't anywhere interesting for me to run to. I guess I'll just have to keep running.

Gotta get myself up to date here.
10/24: 3.1 Miles
10/27: 10 Mile Race
Total 59.48 / 500 -
Yeah...totally underestimated my distance lol. By the end of the month I will have 79 miles ran. Which means I need to find a different place to run to! Um...I can run to the Naval Base and back, lol.0

4 miles total yesterday (3 miles and then 8 strides, which covered another mile). Total so far = 30.75/50.
3.5 miles yesterday so now I'm at 34.25/50. I have 3 tomorrow and 6 on Saturday.
I did 3 on Friday and 6 on Saturday. Total so far = 39.75/50. This week calls for 14.5 miles, so by Saturday, I should be over 50.
3.5 yesterday so now I'm at 43.25/50.
For the rest of last week, I had:
3.5 on Tuesday,
5 on Thursday, and
3 on Saturday (5K with my 9 year old DD).
After last week I was at: 54.75/50
I put in 3.75 yesterday, so for the month I am now at: 58.5/50.
Yay me!0 -
There is something to be said for having a training day on fairly flat ground. I have gotten my pace down. I actually didn't stop the Strava app until I was back at work which was 6 minutes after the C25K program was finished. It makes me wonder what my true pace would be if I had stopped Strava very shortly after C25K completed.

I am so close but my next run day is Thursday - Halloween. I will just miss the 30 miles by one run probably. Oh - and for my total mileage - I could go to Aspen and back. Just C25K miles, to the Hain Celestial Teas Factory just north of Boulder. I like that place. Its really fun to do a tour once a year and have a really good hit from the peppermint room.0 -

Did an easy 2.8 miles last night. Total 62.28 / 50
I won't break my highest month which was 68 miles in May (pre-injury). But I expect to do a little over 70 in November.0 -

I did 3 yesterday, so now I am at 61.5/50. I doubt I have ever broken 60 miles in a month. I actually have 4 on the schedule for today, so I should break 65! Awesome!0 -
