    Having gotten my first quarter marathon ever under my belt and my first 10 mile run and now looking to train for a half, I’m going to try for a fairly ambitious September. I’m going to shoot for 140 miles this month.

    I'm in. We are doing something similar at work where we post our mileage, but there is no goal. So this will give me a goal to work towards. Only going for 36 miles as I'm back at square one after over a year off due to injury.

    I'm in! I took a 5-year hiatus from running and just starting back up again. My goal of 35 seems so puny compared to y'all though. :*

    @rogue024, welcome! One of many cool things about this group...VERY cool in fact... is that you are not judged based on your mileage. Be proud of your miles, no matter the number.

    With the Swimming Pool Closed for September due to a maintenance program I will have extra days for runs and recently learned about a Wednesday Night Run with the local Club so I am going for 140 km for September and 500km for the year.

    I've no idea if I can fit in the volume I want to get to this fall now that soccer season is starting up again. I help coach a team so each week there's two evening practices and one game day taking away from running time. Sure going to try though...

    "Coach, why are you running around the field while we do our warmup?"
    "Coach, are you sure that running these trails will help us win games?"

    This is the first year since 2003 that I haven't been coaching soccer. It's been bittersweet getting out of it. I don't miss the preparation, time commitment, and a minority of the parents but I sure miss the working with the kids, the smiles, the successes and even the failures. I help coach the high school trap shooting team, but it's just not the same.

    LOL I was thinking the same thing!

    In for another 200. My schedule tentatively calls for 215, but I may or may not have a Ragnar Relay in there and some other stuff, so who knows what my mileage will actually be. But 200 should definitely be within range!

    I'm going for 120 again... We have at least one trip to the NW this month to visit our daughter and I am hoping I can run while there! Otherwise I won't be hitting it but it wouldn't be a challenge if we didn't challenge ourselves!

    MFP September Running Challenge:
    Started the running challenge in July with a goal of 40 and ran 42. Last month I had a goal of 45 and ran 48.5. This challenge has really kept me motivated to keep running. I enjoy reading everyone's posts and progress.

    This month the magic number is 48. It will be my mileage goal. And I am also setting a goal to run 5 miles in 48 mins (In August set new PR of 49 mins).

    September Goal: 48 miles

    So excited to find this group. My DH is an avid runner. I just started running in June so I am excited to set a goal and have the accountability. I'm in for 48 miles.
