    @dennie24‌ - I tried to sign up for the Rebel challenge this year but it sold out almost immediately.

    @LoneWolfRunner‌ - I suspect there are a lot of us 'late bloomer' here too! I wish I had discovered running many years ago and I hope the others stick with it long enough to realize how great it is!

    @Runningmischka‌ - have a great trip!

    Everyone seems to be making great progress on their goals!

    Halfway to goal. Right on schedule. I ran a different route today. Instead of zigzagging through a neighborhood, I did a long loop throught the northern side of down. It's funny how the the distance feels a lot larger when you eliminate the zigzags. I was looking at my map in Garmin and saying, "Dang! I didn't know I'd been running that far.

    01/01/2015 - 5.02 Miles - Cumulative 5.02 Miles
    01/04/2015 - 6.53 Miles - Cumulative 11.55 Miles
    01/06/2015 - 6.70 Miles - Cumulative 18.25 Miles
    01/08/2015 - 4.50 Miles - Cumulative 22.75 Miles (Brrrrr...it was cold!)
    01/11/2015 - 7.35 Miles - Cumulative 30.10 Miles
    01/13/2015 - 7.55 Miles - Cumulative 37.65 Miles


    GOAL: 75 Miles

    Been Awol for 2 weeks one week ski holiday , came home from holiday feeling really ill so had to take another week off running, hope to get back out there on Sunday, not sure if I'll make this months goal.

    I'm definitely one of the late bloomers as I only started running 2 years ago at the age of 54.

    Great to see everyone doing so well with their January goals

    Shanaber, I should have added if I can register fast enough to my post. I know those challenges sell out crazy fast.

    Funny. My brain is always surprised when I get to the end of a large loop. It's what? How did I get back home already? If I do the same distance in several smaller loops I'm thinking when is this going to end? BTW, Nice work reaching the half way point!

    Are you running the Alamo 13.1 in March?

    Kadibo - no I am running the Back Country Trail Run which occurs on March 7th. I'm doing it for a couple of reasons - I love to run trails; and because I am the executive administrator for our pastors, and Sunday is a workday for pastors, I also work Sundays. Although I can get the occasional one off, it is hard because there are things only I can do. Several of my friends are training for the Alamo 13.1 though.
