September Running Challenge

a very very slow two miles today- really feeling the pain in my legs. I think I've run further in this challenge this month than I have for the whole of the year. determined to complete my goal, and hopefully better it next month.

@hayleymawr- You're progress toward your goal is phenomenal! 50 miles in 1 month is a HUGE milestone, especially if you haven't run 50 total miles in the rest of this year. If your legs are aching and you're certain its not an injury a day or 2 of rest might help. Those very slow miles are making your legs stronger every time you run, but you need time to heal if you don't want to end up on the disabled list. You're more than half way to your goal- slow and steady will get you to 50!:flowerforyou: Keep up the great work; I'm cheerin' for ya'!

I am so excited this morning! After being so down and out of it yesterday (5! inactivity alerts on my monitor!) I ended up taking the pup out for 'just a nice walk' since it was still warm out. Once we got out though I realized it was lovely out and we just kept going and mixed in a some running. I went out on the trail and we ended up going 5 miles! This morning I got up early again and went out for a run before my first meeting! I really feel great and am so happy I was able to do Tues run, Wed run/walk and Thurs run with no foot issues! I am actually optimistic now about being able to finish the half marathon in October!! Tonight - strength training!

So far i've ran 21.4 miles this month :-)

I don't comment much (I guess I'm just a natural lurker...though that sounds creepy ;P), but I wanted to send out general congratulations to all of you.
~For all the beginning runners trying to figure this crud out
~to those of you pushing for more miles/better times/greater frequency
~to those of you who are competing and giving your all
~and to those of you who are nursing injuries and stubbornly refusing to let them ruin your goals.
Every time I read one of your triumphs or even one of your issues/fails, I feel more determined because I know I am not the first person to have these feelings and face these challenges.
Super sappy, I know... but thanks everyone.
Keep doing what you do!
