    My goal is 60 for this month... I'm fairly new to running, but I have to run a certain number of km for my 10k training each week. This should be pretty easy to complete! Good luck with your challenges!

    I had to take it easy today, and prove to myself, that, yes, I have an injury and need to maybe take a few days off from running.

    I also think it's time for new shoes.
    Yuck! Hope your injury's not severe & that new shoes fix the problem. I start getting blisters when my shoes are going but I have a buddy who gets shin splints & another friend who'll get knee troubles. Good shoes are vital to the runner aren't they?!?
    Rest, Recuperate & come back strong!

    Thanks, well I'm also sick; it forces me to take it easy.

    My doctor said to stop running if my cold's below the neck and continue running if it's above the neck. I've had a chest cold since my last run 10/12 but plan to resume in the next few days. :smile:

    My daughter has asthma and her pulmonoglogist highly encouraged track and cross country for her, but said the same thing. "Above the neck, you can run, below the neck, stop".

    Excited and nervous to try out something new. Reading a book called 80/20 Running that advocates doing 80% of your running at low intensity. Downloaded and accompanying app today that calculates what low intensity is for each person. As I expected, most of my runs were medium to high intensity. Ended up having to slow my pace down about 1 minute per mile to keep in low intensity for me (<155 bpm heart rate). Feel way less tired and my legs feel really good right now so I might just have to keep this up!

    Finished another 3.4 miles today and I'm on pace to crush my goal for the month!

    Was having such a great run this morning feeling recovered from my half last weekend and thinking about the next one in two weeks, when I ate it - no clue what happened but found myself skidding on my hands on the trail. Good news is nothing serious - just scrapped hands and one knee slightly. My left thumb got it the worse interestingly. It has been quite a while since I have fallen and usually I am aware at least of what I tripped over. Guess I need to stop day dreaming while I am running! :p

    Oh my Shanaber, so glad you weren't injured more seriously. FWIW, my mind wanders while running too. I'm forever tripping over things that aren't even there, usually whilst I have an audience to gleefully observe my gracelessness.
