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.4 -
@katharmonic you've got time to get your LR to 10 miles. You'll get it done and rock your October HM.1

Go, snail, go! (of course, this is after oversleeping this morning and not going out.. haven't quite become addicted to running yet and it's too easy to stay in my warm bed)
Thanks for the encouragement, @dkabambe! Always cool to find those patient with beginners5 -

omg, I just looked at it and 30 miles sounds like so many. I've never written out a mileage goal for a month - it's usually "go for 30-45 minutes and try not to die." lol6

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. We all gotta start somewhere, right? Any running is better than no running, I say!1

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 goal for August was 40 miles, which I blew out of the water (counting today's not-yet-completed 3 miler, I'll finish August with 58 miles).
As such, I'm going to set my September goal at 75 miles. That's way below what my training plan calls for, and I should be able to hit it no problem, considering that I've only been back to full swing for the last two weeks or so. Sticking with a lower number to give myself plenty of leeway to make judgement calls without feeling too pressured by a lofty goal.
Welcome back, @cbro70 . And welcome, newbies!5 -
I'm going to hit my August goal of 70 ( most I've run in a month ) with my run today. So my September goal is 80 miles.5

@ceciliaslater Thanks and congrats on your goal for Aug !!!!!!1

i'll say 30 but hoping to blow past that this month. a lot of time has opened up for me and its theraputic
@mbaker566 we are with you every step of the way.0 -
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.3

Though a bit ill-advised after my last 3 months, I'm setting my goal at 95 miles. That's based on keeping my long run at ~35% of my weekly mileage in building up to my HM in October.5
