    Well, I did not make my goal for this month. Sad Panda. But for not being able to run for 2 weeks, if came out okay. Chicago bound!

    I'm going to say 125 just to be safe with taper and post-marathon recovery.

    I was too conservative again. On track for 172. LOLwhoops

    UGH. I was too optimistic, I ran hard for a half this month (and PR'd), but underestimated the recovery for the race. Not sure why it is taking so long, but it just is.

    Still running, but not as much as I would like. I have delayed my (real) BQ attempt so that I have more time to prepare. Still will try earlier, but not feeling I am there yet. I am challenged by these long runs. Thinking about doing 2 back to back medium runs (double digits, 10, 14 to replace the the longer runs).

    I loved my run today, ran in the rain! It was not so hot as it has been down in the South, felt amazing!

    Congrats Dave!

    Ugh. Well it was good I held back on my estimate because I had to (chose to?) sit out NINE days to let a foot injury heal. It's still not 100% but it feels fine to run on. I thought plantar fasciitis but I think it may have just been another injury masquerading as PF. I'm not having the morning pain and I don't have some other signs. And yet - I will meet my goal! :laugh: Just because I underestimated my goal compared to what my training plan called for. My plan for this month was probably too ambitious and it got me. (see foot injury) :ohwell:

    Decided to race a HM last minute instead of running more easy training mileage and then overdid it on my next long run and had a reduced week following that.

    I didn't make my goal, but nearly had my highest mileage month ever.

    I'm back on track with my training at this point, and hoping for a HUGE month in October if I can stay on plan.

    yay! My goal was much smaller than most here, but I did it! I'll bump up to 90 next month and hopefully 100 come November. Thanks for organizing this, it was a great motivation knowing I had to keep the month's mileage in my mind (and feet)!
