I feel like it was last week you were deciding whether or not you'd transfer to the higher distance- exciting!!!
Just don't ask me about my current plans for November 1.... I think I may be crazy, and it's good my race is before that..... I might end up matching your miles through the winter/////1 -
October already??
Not really got a mileage goal, but the plan is keep up with my longer weekend runs leading up to my half marathon in November.
I'm registered for two races in October. The Tufts Women's 10k on Columbus Day, and a 'spooky sprint' 5k at the end of the month.7 -
Yay! Another month! Count me in for 120 miles this month. Got a 10k race coming up at the end of the month, also hoping to get to another couple of park runs (did my first today) and get my park run down by 2 minutes.3

The end of September finds me running, but not totally recovered from posterior tibial tendinitis. I'll throw out a nominal goal of 100 miles for October.
Real goals: Get healthy enough to run 5 days a week. Avoid re-injury. Build base.12 -

Good to see you're back into things, and glad you registered for/ got into Boston, for what it's worth, I think that was the right choice. Here's to a healthy October for you!1 -
So for October I am mixing in 3 races of 12k (tomorrow); 10K next weekend and a 15 at the end of Oct.
So knowing that I might miss some long runs and dial back some running here or there, etc I will set a target of 120 and stretch goal of 150 if I get lucky with good weather and/or time.
Finally, I also signed up for a HM at the end of Nov to keep an incentive to work towards and made plans to start training for a full 26.2 in Jan and debating on where to run at end of April or early May5 -
I guess I'm going into my first winter of Alberta running so it should be an interesting time. Going to start a 15K training program this month so if I stick to it I'll be around 55km for the month. Going to be travelling a bit for both my professional association and work this month as well. At least I'll have access to the hotel gym...7

First day of October. My goal this month is to run 22km a week, so that's 88km for the month. Hoping to do my first 8km this afternoon when the husband gets back from his overnight hiking trip.5

I'm in for the challenge, this is my first time. I only noticed this running challenge in Sept and have been lurking.
I've been on a big weight loss journey the past 13 months (lost 175 pounds) and along the way I picked up running as a hobby and really have taken to it. Now that I'm more or less finished with weight loss being the primary goal, I am ready to begin setting running challenges for myself and hopefully it will lead to gradual improvements in fitness and quality of runs, and if I should manage to knock off another 10 pounds or so somewhere along the way it wouldn't hurt.
So with that said I'm going to set 120 miles for my October goal. And I'll be off to a fast start because on the 1st I'm doing my very first 5K in the morning, and because I've been doing a long run (currently 8-13 miles) on Sundays for some time now, I'm going to see if I can do them both tomorrow. I've just come to really enjoy my Sunday long run and don't want to miss a week.13 -
In for 120 this month. Plan on one 5k on Oct 14 and then my first HM on Nov. 18.6

Still in mostly recovery mode but at least I have managed a couple of slow, short runs this week. So I have no real mileage goal for the month, I just want to continue to progress.
Goals:
1-Don't injure myself trying too hard
2-Get back to a 10 mile run
3-Get my pace back to prior marathon pace on my 2-4 mile runs.
4-Find some better compression gear for this malfunctioning left leg
5-Do a better job keeping up with this thread5 -

Well, I distance PR'd in September at 198.7 miles. I guess I should try for 200 as a stretch goal.9

Sadly, am out of time already. Have non-running-life-things to handle.1 -
I have been rather lazy this year and haven't showed up in here for a long time. Just want to pop back in here to say hi and put in my goal for October. 60 miles should not be too much a stretch but yet keep me running during the week
Upcoming race:
11/23 Thank you Run (5k)
12/16 San Diego Holiday Half ( @shanaber, will you be running this race again? We've talked quite a few of our friends running this race )4 -
