    I start tapering on Sept 25 for my first half marathon on Oct 9. Woo hoo! ***Nervous laughter*** Panic.

    So, hmm, I have been doing about 25 miles a week but will be upping that a bit for 3 weeks then cutting back. I think I'll say 90 miles as the goal but may reassess that mid-month.

    i just really want to get over 10 miles for my long run so I feel like I can do this. My longest run has been 8.7 miles.

    @katharmonic you've got time to get your LR to 10 miles. You'll get it done and rock your October HM.

    I will join this month now that I am getting back into the groove running a 4-mile circuit

    50 hours in September. That is giving me two rain days

    @sparklyglitterbomb My first challenge goal was 30 miles, and I blew that away. I'm sure you will, too. :smile: We all gotta start somewhere, right? Any running is better than no running, I say!

    Hi all, I am back to running again after nursing my pulled muscles. The past few weeks have been great. My goal for September will be the highest I have set yet, but I know I will hit it. 100 !!!

    My marathon plan calls for 255 miles this month, which is 40 or so less than the past 3 months. With helping out coaching Cross County I'll probably get in a few extra miles here and there however. Looking forward to beginning the taper in a few weeks. Still a lot to training to do, but the end is getting closer. The end is actually so near I've got my eyes on a new training plan that peaks at 85 miles a week vs the 70-73 I did this time. Pretty much the same structure but with a few more easy recovery runs mixed in each week. Looking at a late March or early April race to avoid the craptastic summer heat and humidity that has sucked much of the fun out of running the past 6-8 weeks.
