    WELCOME to all the new folks - and let me echo: it doesn't matter how your number compares with anyone else's. It's your miles and your effort, and we applaud just as loudly for 5 miles as for 50 or 250! We've got your back, here!

    In for 120 - thanks @Stoshew71 for setting it up again.

    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. September Goal: 48 miles
    My August goal was 70km - managed 89km, modest in comparison to some but its what I could fit into my life schedule and fitness level. With the Swimming Pool Closed for September I have extra days for runs and recently learned about a Wednesday Night Run with a Local Club so I am going for 140 km for September and 500km for the year. If you can find a local Running Club I highly recommend it as I have enjoyed the Running Trails that they have introduced me to and the Social interaction. ( That's how I ended up doing the local Triathlon ).
    We have a great group with no Slaggers or Trolls.
    So welcome to all the new Shoe Testers, Pavement Pounders, Bush Wackers, Track Hounds, Hound Trackers etc.

    400km at least

    12 miles done this morning - after a good week today my head was full of negativity so didn't perform very well

    plus new starting time at work, meaning 425am waking up time = it is going to be tough

    tomorrow will be better

    I've just finished C25K so my main aim this month is just to continue running 3 times a week. My target is a teeny 60km.

    I love it when the 1st falls on a day of the week that I run! Just realized a 3 day weekend coming up! That means I can get in a long run.

    Didn't make my 80 miles last month, but confident I'll make 90 this month so that is my goal.

    Welcome! Post your goal for the month and post throughout the month with your progress The first post of the thread explains the details pretty well. It's not a contest, just a way to hold yourself accountable with a friendly, supportive group.

    @AutumnFREESPIRIT Just declare a goal of what you think you can do this month.
    Then go out and run a little bit of it during each week of the month. Every day you run, come on here and tell us all what you did. Read what everyone else does for encouragement or offer encouragement. Comment in a positive way what others do. it's that simple. It doesn't matter how "little" or how " a lot" you do. or how "fast" or "slow". Any little bit puts you in the right direction.
