    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.

    aw man. That's super lame. Sorry to hear it. Hope you start feeling better real soon!
    @Cooriander: you're so cool! that Goofy challenge is a real challenge, and it sounds like the road there wasn't easy.
    @dave: good luck on your long run(s)!
    @leanz: sorry about your injury. Good thing you're seeing a PT. Hope all goes well.

    @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.

    Only ended up being 18 miles, but it was plenty challenging!

    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!

    No problem -- you are now in the spreadsheet and I have sorted your info so you are in alphabetical order.

    Updated the sheet on MFP so everyone can see how they are doing. Just one week left!

    I have 52 miles to go and a big weekend planned. If all goes well I should have a 30+ mile weekend.

    That is a huge PR! and you broke the 2 hrs barrier! Congrats!

    Leatherwood 50-miler is March 29 -- which means I need to peak out in my training by March 9. So really only about 6 weeks left.

    Just checked the race out! and it THAT is a challenge for sure! :glasses: .trails (nice!), and the (8,000 ft?) elevation gain, looks to be in the neighborhood of Pikes (7,800 ft gain going up) peak (if I read that right) :huh: very impressive.

    Excellent! Looking forward to see your training progress :happy:

    I am interested in a 50 miler someday, but not just yet, still working on doing a marathon properly trained. :bigsmile: (hoping to be ready for a mid June one).

    Thanks! I just finished a 34.7 mile weekend, 71 for the week. I actually don't feel too bad. Two months to go!

    According to the Facebook page for the race the actual gain for Leatherwood will be somewhere between 11,000 and 14,000 feet (depending on whether you measure using Garmin or topo software). Yep, it's going to be hilly!

    Only 20 for the week, but that puts me over 100 for the month! This is the first time I've made my goal on one of these spreadsheets. I guess I'll have to up it to 125 next month!

    I guess I was too conservative with my goal this month, but it had been a year since I had a 100 mile month, so I thought 85 would be a good target.

    After this morning's run, I'm at 109 miles for the month with 4 runs to go... I should hit 120 pretty easily.

    Feels great and gives me some confidence for the 175 - 200 mile months later this year in marathon training.

    Hi, I've changed my username on MFP and on the spreadsheet. Sorry for the confusion! Super excited to get 85 miles for January, my highest mileage so far! :happy:

    I have re-sorted the spreadsheet and updated the tally on the front page. Nice job with your mileage--you're almost there!

    Yay! I hit my mileage goal today -- in the snow!

    5 others have also made it with two days to spare: Marikevr, Pafagel, Runningchick70, Tappae, and Wombat94.

    9 more runners are within 15 percent, and I'm pretty sure some of the others may be in range but haven't logged recently. Let's finish strong!

    Great job to everyone that hit their goal this month, I had a lot of things going on this month specially my two kids being sick at the same time. This really held me back from running for about a week and a half. But will hit for the same goal next month and reach it

    Sigh, it sucks that I've been sick for the past 2 weeks. Didn't reach my goal but will be back for February. Great job everyone:)

    Awesome! Congrats!

    9 runners have hit their goals so far and several more are close -- I think some of them just haven't logged their miles here.

    106 for this month, had hoped for more. I need to deal better with snow/and cold. [I grew up in the snow (Sweden) so I have no excuse really, BUT better than December though so an improvement at least. :happy:

    Hoping everyone is doing well! :flowerforyou:
