    Aw dam, sorry Stan. I got excited and replied in the wrong thread! Haha! (Just delete it).

    Anyhow I'm in for 30


    You nerd. LOL What thread did you reply in?


    EDIT: Nevermind, I see now.

    I should flag it for abuse. lol

    Haha! Yup... I'm abusive!

    Takes a nerd to know a nerd :wink:

    Bite me. lol

    I may look into this bridgestreet.... @skippygirlsmom .

    Alex should have graduation about then, if he goes. He's supposed to leave Monday. But he totaled his buddy's truck yesterday under the influence. I'm not sure how that will effect him leaving. Or what his plans are.

    If it all plays out, maybe we'll work it where we catch you guys.

    I won't be running it this year as it is too close to Kentucky Derby. I may volunteer tho. I'm also missing the Oak Barrel Half up at the Jack Daniels Distillery.

    My taper & recovery + 26.2 puts me at about 100 miles for January. I keep falling just short so maybe this month! But mostly I want to hit that 26.2.

    I may not follow recovery exact as I want to focus on strength training. I am going to aim for 75 miles this month.

    Setting goal for 155 again, but I'm not sure how the HM in 2 weeks is gonna affect that.

    My goal for January is 50 running miles and a refocus on strength training.

    I'm starting with a Park Run in a couple of hours!!

    Have a fab January everyone.

    1/1- Rest

    Total: 0/120

    Today's notes: After running too hard during last night's long run, and with 8-12 inches of snow coming over the next 38 hours, I'm not too disappointed to start 2017 with a rest day that was scheduled anyway.

    Today is Sunday which means a planned rest day for me.
    Happy New Year to everyone. I hope your 2017 will be awesome. I am so glad everyone found this month's challenge and like to welcome all the new folks we got so far.

    Minimal goal of 50 and hopefully a little consistency.

    @orphia - speedy!!!
    @elise4270 - so glad to see you running! Sorry about your son and hope it works out okay.
    @skippygirlsmom - That will be great to run the HM with Skip!

    I'm better today (from the stomach virus I got Friday night). However, since normally I start exercising way too quickly after being sick, and end up relapsing, I'm going to take one more day off. Even though I feel fine today. My husband had it for about 4 days so I'm lucky it was just 24 hours for me. Probably all that running I do. :wink:

    It's January in Minnesota. I'd like to aim higher, but all things considered a goal of 50 seems about right. I'll race a half marathon in about two weeks in Key West, but no other races planned. I'll need to revisit my training schedule to make sure I'm not dogging it too much post-race!

    I spent some time this morning catching up my master log. Finished 2016 with 473 miles which, while not great, was over 200 miles more than what I ran in 2015. My 2016 monthly totals look like this:

    and here's my yearlys since 2008:

    No running today. Rest. And football. ;-) Happy running, all.

    @Calvin2008Brian this MN weather sucks. We're looking at 8-12 inches of snow over the next 48 hours.

    What do you use to log your runs? I'm still trying to figure out how to log, in addition to Strava and Garmin.

    I saw the storm advisories posted for up north. We're getting none of that down here. Have fun shoveling. Ugh!

    My master run log is an excel spreadsheet available for free download: (David Hays spreadsheet)

    I keep using the spreadsheet mostly because I've used it for almost ten years and I like to be able to compare year to year, but - truth be told - most of my day-to-day tracking is on Garmin Connect. I've fallen into the habit of only plugging weekly totals into the spreadsheet instead of each individual run.
