Ha! Awesome! My wife did the half last year, and this May she will do the full. Crazy!1 -
No run today, spending the day working on my son's homework... I mean assisting him with it. Is there a difference?2

10/1: 5.16km
First 5k+ distance since I got back on the fitness/MFP wagon in September, I can feel my fitness coming back really fast and it feels good, almost better than weight loss!
October goal - 6.4/60 kms7 -
7.2 Km up what is know as the Friendship Trail - a small part of the TransCanada Trail.
Was a challenging run as I was feeling the effects of my 19 km yesterday and we had a Nasty Cold Wind making any of the open/exposed sections down right miserable.
Like I said in my first October Post, we can get hard and fast with weather changes.
10/01 7.2 km – 142.8 km - MTD 007.2 km – YTD 1138.87 km3 -

I don't think my wife will ever want to run a full... but then again, 2 years ago, I never would have thought I'd be a runner.2 -

Do not count anything out.
A couple years ago my wife was like "never going to do anything like that" then this year she ran a half, and said "that was too far, I will stick with 10 miles or less" - now she is not only signed up for the Marathon but has run 20 miles in training.
This running thing... it is some kind of sick addiction.

true dat. Just have to see.0 -
I'm in for 20 miles.
It might be a stupid question, but do you all include your warm-up/cool down mileage? Should I cut those out and only count the times I'm running or jogging?1 -

It is your goal, your rules, but no. I do not. I do not count the calories from warmup/cooldown, nor do I track them in any way.1 -

Had a good run today--5 miles on trails + an extra 1 mile walk in warm up and cool down (not counting those). I also am starting the Gymnastics Bodies program and did a really intense 45 min stretching session and some positions to learn some fundamentals. The run felt good and was the longest I've done since I injured myself last spring.
Tried to do the ticker but the mileage isn't showing up even though it does on the ticker screen.

Depends on the run. For easy and long runs I don't have a warm up or cool down. For speed work or tempo runs, I normally run a mile or or so warm up and cool down. I count them, since they are part of the workout.2 -
10/1 13.3
Comments: Well this was a big running day for me as I did two runs. In the AM I ran in my first 5K and clocked in at 29:36 which I am super happy with. After a couple hour break I went on my regular Sunday long run of 10.18 miles.
Because of the race this was the first time I ran twice in a day. I feel like I need tomorrow off and I'll probably walk on Tuesday. I'm super cautious about not pushing too hard too fast and today I pushed a little bit.
@vandinem , @skippygirlsmom Thank you! Yes I am looking to keep a challenge in front of me and loving the running life so far.
total 13.3 / goal 1206 -

You need a rule that makes sense in the context of how you manage your running. I count what I measure with the Garmin. That includes the 2 mile warmup before club practice, but excludes the 2 minutes of jogging up and down my hallway in the morning while I wait for my eggs to cook.2 -

Good way of putting it. Pretty much how o measure too. Once I hit start on thr Garmin, it counts.3 -
Check in: The plan today was to run 5 miles or so. The ankle felt a bit wonky, not as bad as Friday but not as good as before I ran yesterday. I probably could have run on it, and it was gorgeous running weather; but I went into hypochondriac mode and decided to take today as a rest day. Total miles for October to date, zero. I'm okay with that.8

They nearly learned today that taper tantrums are real lol

Oh c'mon - four pages ALREADY!!!
Met my September pathetic goal of 40 miles, so am upping this to 60 miles for the month. I have a HM at the beginning of November and want to be thoroughly trained for it, plus a trail running holiday weekend in the middle of the month on Dartmoor.
I have another goal for the month, and that is no alcohol. Yesterday I woke up tired from a night out to celebrate my birthday (it's today!!) and pretty much canned ALL of my plans. Not stupidly hungover, but just didn't do anything. I don't drink excessively all the time, but can have weekends where I don't do what I want to do, get tired, and don't meet my running goals. So I'm having a month off alcohol to see what it does to my body. It won't be a permanent change as I like the odd beer, cocktail or glass of wine, but it will be nice to have a break.
October plans and goals

Just a little doughnut photo to start the day...... (ps. Caster sugar is better than powdered sugar for playing the doughnut licking lips game.)3 -
6.2 at 8:18 could be a little fast but it felt easy enough. Cold this am near 40 degrees and I love it!
@PastorVincent lol on the homework. How do I know its science or math? I don't give homework anymore. There have been many studies to show that there is no correlation to homwork and learning outcomes. Be willing to do much of it for him if he does his part learning the lesson.
