Ugh. This quad injury is keeping me from getting the miles in I need for this Ultra. Will keep plugging along but I think that my goal of 175 may be going bye-bye. Will do the best I can! Fingers crossed!!!

Sorry about your injury, crossing figures for a speedy recovery!

Just letting you know I am still around! I pulled a hamstring January 1st - kept running for a week despite the pain - thought it was just my back playing up! Saw physio last Thursday and got the correct info. Saw her again today and got told "No running" :sad:

Hopefully I'll be back SOON

@Cooriander - how did your "Goofy" go?? What does it involve?

Goofy is a two day challenge, half marathon on Saturday, and full marathon on Sunday, both at Disney. The marathon goes through at Epcot, then the Magic Kingdom, then the Animal Kingdom, then Hollywood Studios, and then it returns to Epcot. I really, really, enjoyed the race. It was fun (and was generally a flat course with a few ups and downs for overpasses), but I went slow (and stopped at the 'characters' along the way). My moving pace (discounting waiting in line at the characters) was in the 10s, while including everything it was 11:10 (so just under 5 hours). I could not prepare much for this challenge, b/c of having the flu and an infected blister. I was really, really worried, and embarrassed before these races b/c I was so unprepared. I am happy though, b/c I ran (well jogged) the whole marathon, and still feeling good. My next 'target' marathon is in mid June, and I am hoping to BQ. Not sure if I can, but am going to try and train properly this time around :glasses:

Wow that sounds awesome! I am hoping to do a half at the end of March but should have been trainging now. Hoping cycling will help keep up the fitness and that hammy feels happy soon.

Hope your training goes well for your BQ time!!

@davemunger Good luck!!

How does a femoral stress fracture sound to y'all?

Yup. That's me.

Don't think I'm going to make that 175 goal for January.

Sorry, all.

@all thanks! i was conservative, and did not push the half marathon.

@dave hope your 20 mile trail run went well! 20 miles on the trail sounds challenging!

@MelisRunning - OUCH so sorry, and it sounds so painful. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

@Cheval13 glad to see you are back on the horse! and recovering.

Hi All!
I have run 128 miles so far this month with a goal of at least 150 miles. I just ran the Houston half marathon and had a PR time of 1:56:49. I am happy since my last half in Mar 13 was 2:25 and my previous PR was 2:20. Hope everyone is having a good month too.

I hope it's not too late, being that it's already the 21st. I already added myself to the spreadsheet and filled in to get up to date. Next month, I will be on time Thanks!
