    Still on track for my goal of 105, but I dropped some miles relative to my plan. I cancelled my track work on Thursday after working late Wednesday night and having to meat my parents for an early lunch (celebrating their 43rd anniversary). Yesterday, I just did the 5K instead of the planned easy 6 miles. Today, I was on for 10, but decided 8 was more reasonable (still over 1/3 of weekly mileage).

    I finished May at 205 miles not the 198 that is on the spreadsheet. For some reason it didn't take. I went over goal by 5 miles.
    I went right back into marathon training, so I put down 185 for the month. Marathon is in September.

    I just hadn't posted the latest spreadsheet here. The spreadsheet itself is automatic, but the image that appears here on MFP has to be added manually by me. So May is up to date, and now June is too. Great job, everyone!

    Do I dare to ask? Do treadmill miles count? I hadn't ran the thing in months but succumbrered due to thurderstorms in the area this morning.

    Yes, the treadmill counts as long as you are running on it! We draw the line at walking (sorry -- but there are other challenges for that).

    ha ha ha, boy I'm slacking this month. I've got 11 days to do 100 miles. I *do* have a 6 hr run tomorrow night so that should get me 30, but then 10 days to do 70 miles! eek!

    I was just thinking the same, though I have 10 days to do 57...hmmm....

    Sorry for the lack of updates, everyone. Everything should be up to date now. Just a couple days left in the month, let's finish strong!

    I am off my 40 mpw study so I've crushed my initial goal for the month and still have 20-miler planned for tomorrow. July should be even bigger!

    Absolutely. I hope to get that set up today; if not it will be up tomorrow.

    I finished the month with a 19.75-mile run for a total of 232. Looking forward to possibly topping that in July!

    This darn spreadsheet is about the only thing that got me to 160 this month. Thanks Dave!

    Dave,

    Thanks so much for continuing to do this each month.

    Thanks in no small part to this challenge and spreadsheet, I ran 6 miles this morning to get to 160 (my goal was 135)...

    a new all-time monthly mileage high for me by 35 miles!

    Looking forward to July and the start of my first full marathon training plan!

    My goal in June was 110 and crushed it with 135! I am going to for 140 in July

    My June goal was 140 miles and I came short with 133.87 miles.
    I'll set a more conservative goal for July and hopefully I'll reach it :)

    My June goal was 110... I ended up over by 36 for a total of 146. I counted up the miles in my plan for July... 165. That freaks me out! So i was going to low ball it and use 140 as my goal, but since I made that and then some last month, I guess it's time i up it to 150.

    I'm only going for 100 in July. I am tapering, running the 50K on the 26th and then recovering the following week. I hope I can make it to 100!!!
