    All in fun...you are an inspiration to me as a new runner. And I especially appreciate the info you posted yesterday...it really helped me out. :)
    All in Fun! I'm glad you liked the article, it is full of gems & I had it bookmarked for easy referral. Keep running, you'll surpass my ability in no time!

    Thanks! It was a bit scary at the time as I was alone in a remote, rocky trail. It's not too bad now after RICE (without the "I" as I hate doing it).
    I'm relieved to hear you're healing. The iceless RICE sounds something I would try, unless I were in a world of hurt. We use Arnica Montana rubs & Turmeric capsules for sprains & strains around here.

    26F for this mornings run. I'm shopping today for warmer gloves or mittens.

    Wasn't feeling great at the beginning of the month so only just joining this months challenge today. I've ran a bit the last few days and will set myself a realistic target of 80 miles this month. So far I've ran:

    5/11 8.5 miles
    7/11 4.5 miles
    8/11 3.3 miles

    Hope everyone is well and doing nicely.

    I've had a bad bout of flu this past week and could hardly get out of bed. Did not do much running at all and then tried getting back on my feet on Sunday for a long trail run but rolled my ankle not even halfway through! Heard an audible snap of the tendon and boy, did it hurt.

    Ouch! I hope you are not hurt too bad.

    Starting late - goal is 60 miles this month.

    11/5, 3.5 miles - in the dark with my head lamp (at 5pm!!) At least there's a full moon right now!

    I'm in for cold weather support group! ;) I'm in Maine and it snowed this weekend!

    Totally up for cold weather support group (I'm in Chicago). I don't find the cold down to about 20 bad once I get going (and once I remember how to dress), but it becomes more and more difficult to get myself to start on a run. I'm thinking of signing up for a couple of races in January (and perhaps a mid December 10K) as motivation, but I'm worried that we'll get the kind of crazy cold and snow that we did last year and I'll have to cancel.

    I'm much more of a baby with cold and biking--anything below 50 or in the 50s with a cold wind and I just don't.

    I'm starting late, but I'd like to set my goal at 10 miles. I trained for a 5K earlier this year, but stopped running as soon as I completed the 5K (June 7th). So, I've got 20 days to do 10 miles.

    Thanks for posting this challenge!

    Stopped running for a few month but looking to get back into it. Decided it won't hurt to start half way through. I'm going to aim for 10km a week. So 30km in total.

    All of you folks running in such cold weather, wow. I'm cold if it's less than 10c (50F) and some of you are doing it below freezing point? Don't know how you do it!

    It's okay now. Still pretty swollen but can run on it. I'm reduced to the "CE" of rice now, lol.

    11/3 - 12.52
    11/7 - stair reps
    11/9 - 9.32 trail

    Here we are 10 days into November. Some of you are half way to your goals already. The rest of us will keep running to get there. Right? We got this!
    Some are eagerly awaiting cooler temps. For some of us the cool temps & shorter days are here so we're learning to cope. OR facing a Blizzard already, so glad you have a treadmill. I for one am grateful to visit here and see that whatever my challenge or victory was today, I am not alone. Thanks ya'll!
