DECEMBER 2023 Monthly Running Challenge

@kgirlhart hope you get some good rest today and feel better tomorrow.
@daria0919 way to go getting your longest distance so far since October!

Well...thought I would do a HM today since it feels like forever since I've done one. Started out just taking it easy, but of course that didn't last. Saw that I was on pace to break my HM PR ( Houston 2018) after I hit 10K, so just tried not to slow down. Ended up with a new PR by 3 minutes 😁

@scott6255 you were flying. Even at the end. I started out fast today and ended up slogging. That means with the cold front overnight tomorrow I will start out slow and race myself? LOL.

Goal of 140 this month. Not sure how that will play out but I will keep moving.. walking miles are done for the year at 500+ now. I think I will definitely make 1500 running miles and my goal is 1523 of course to total 2023 deliberate for the year.

Hi all, I didn't check this thread for a few days. Here's my best effort to catch up. You guys move fast *wink*


@yirara sorry to hear about your accident you got this! So cool that you can go to another country for entertainment. Sorry to hear about family emergencies as well

@shanaber thanks for sharing that inspirational story of the 80 y/o man. And they say that I'm gonna wear out my knees if I run too much, we'll see.

@eleanorhawkins you remind of this meme I saw that goes something like "my therapist recommend running to help with my depression, so I did it, I'm still depressed but now I'm fast" sorry if you it's not funny but the thing is that we can't work on everything at once so sometimes we compromise.

@scott6255 have you heard of Dr David Sinclair, he does a lot of studies and talks about real age, you might be interested to find out your real age which it must be way less than 62.

@quilteryoyo thanks for your support

@polskagirl01 sending thoughts and prayers for your family situation.

@laurz9191 CONGRATS on making the Berlin marathon!

@kgirlhart so cool to run into foxes and deer. The view is always better outside than on the couch. It looks like run most days. Great endurance. Sorry about the pup

@daria0919 great job with the walks! and congrats on your PR, keep pushing a little bit more each time. You got this.

@emptydog congrats on your triple digit streak.

@alphahowls sorry to hear about the pain and aches but it looks like it doesnt stop you. It's amazing how you shook the pain off.

Very active weather day, very stressed and ate some of my feelings.

We are 'safe' here in Adams, TN

Glad to hear @AlphaHowls!

Same storm is heading our way tonight and tomorrow here in Virginia. Right now says thunderstorms for us. Hopefully no tornadoes.

A bit nervous. My running programme asks for 40 minutes running today. It's at a pace I'll manage, but I've not run for 40 minutes straight for over a year. I did manage 30 minutes though. So lets see how far I get.
