Check-in here for:
February!
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.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkmK3myW0PepdHRMQllDc19DdEZSLTdZUUc1dnBVU0E
To get started, you need to enter your name and your GOAL for February. 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!

First time joining--hope I am not too pathetic! Will be doing a 10K and hopefully completing it in 2 weeks. Will make my goal 50.0

Well, I can see I won't be catching up with you anytime soon!0

I am hoping to get off these crutches on the 14th. I signed up for 75 miles for the month. Hopefully???0

Although I blew away my goal last month, I'm not sure i can maintain that mileage... and it is a shorter month, so I "only" put in 115.
8 done yesterday... off now for today's 3 - 4 so a good start to the month for me.

I'm in for 80! Keeping my numbers low still w/ my back injury. Happy February!0
-
Short month + tapering for another race makes for low mileage. Only 115 for me.0
-
In for 100 again and hopefully I don't get sick mid-month this time (was 4 miles short in January due to a few days off)! It's a shorter month but hopefully I can do it!0
-
I'm in for 110 this time.0
-
Posted the February sheet. Great start, everyone!0
-
Stepdaughter informed me that after getting my 50miles done in January (which may have been completed with the help of a 9pm visit to the treadmill for the last 2...!) that I should go for 55 in February.
So 55 it is! :laugh:0 -
I am hoping I will be allowed to run again - at some point this month so will put some miles in to stay part of the group :bigsmile:0
-
Did not reach my goal last month so going to shoot for it this month 80 for me0
-
Can I join in? I'm in for 100 this month, did 120 last month but school holidays means it'll be harder to get out for one of the weeks... a lot of my running is done on the way to work and then work - school!0

Absolutely -- just add your name / goal to the bottom of the spreadsheet following the instructions above!0 -
Oops... Just notice a bug in the sheet where this week's miles weren't being added to the monthly tally. I fixed it now and posted an update. Great job, everyone!0
-
Yes a little run!!
Only 2.8 miles but felt good -ish!!
Sorry think I deleted myself - working on iPad. Added to bottom. Sorry to make more work!!0 -

Have an appointment with my Ortho Dr. tomorrow. There's a chance I MIGHT get off my crutches...which means, I MIGHT get to start running again!!! Fingers crossed!!!0

Hmmm... I think my 250-mile goal for February may have been a tad optimistic. Took a much-needed rest day this weekend; now tapering for a saturday trail marathon. We'll see. Still very much on track to complete my first 50-mile run at the end of March, though -- that's much more important to me than meeting a particular monthly mileage goal.
MelisRunning: Crossing my fingers for you!0 -
Hope your appointment went well!0

Update:
I am not going to make my February goal. Another month on the crutches. I see the Ortho again on March 7. HOPEFULLY, I can get back to running then.
Can I sign up for a few miles in March to keep my place in the group?0 -

Sorry to hear it.
That said, OF COURSE you can sign up in March. We all want to see you make it back, and you WILL make it back!0 -

wait, I just see that you're stuck on crutches until the 7th. Hope it goes well. Keep healing!0
-
Going to try for a "gentle" run tomorrow!
@MelisRunning - fingers crossed for 7th! It's awful not being able to get out there isn't it!0
