@Mari33a I've been trying! Almost there. I think my next couple runs will be quite short, though. And I do have a swim tomorrow, so we'll see how the trapezoid is doing.
Logging yesterday's rides before I get to work on today's efforts!

Hadn’t planned to ride today but it was just sitting there so why not. I got a 4.5 mile run in too this evening so win win1 -
Overdid it and stressed the knee to the point of pain. Took a couple days worth of break, then came back real easy today.

Did one yesterday, 2 today. Fun times.
Would've ridden to the pool and back, but the wind is blowing pretty well outside (meaning I'll have to refill my pond yet again this weekend. Ugh).

So did a sportive on Saturday, took Sunday completely off so my legs would survive my very first marathon effort (in Zwift on a treadmill - absolutely brutal, but as I was running unsupported this was optimal so I could have easy access to water and facilities when necessary) - I was so wasted after that run that I couldn't walk much less get on a bike. Back in the saddle today with a short and easy effort.

I set myself a target of 212 miles for the month and just hit it this morning. I need 6.5 miles of running before midnight to hit my 60 mile running target. Not sure if I'll manage it with work but definitely will try.1 -
Well, the marathon I did on the 28th of October granted me the splendor of Runner's Toe. I finally got some clippers on it on Sunday - the nail is loose on the bed and as soon as suction was broken/the nail was wiggled, it started leaking plasma and blood. The bruising is rather spectacular. It's wrapped and I'm keeping the power down on the bike (and the runs pretty easy - though I may have to downgrade Friday's upcoming run from a 1/2 to a 5k depending on how bad this toe's behaving by then).

I'm getting the miles done when I can but I'm really swamped this work at the moment1 -
@Chirowalt2018 It's pretty simple! You just say hello (Hello, BTW!) and start logging your milage when you ride and your accumulated total. Personally, I also toss in links to my Strava activities (this is NOT required at all! This just makes me feel warm and fuzzy lol) as proof of what I'm doing.
Goal is simply to try and reach 2024 miles by the end of 2024. And yes, next year, I plan on starting a new thread with the goal of 2025 miles.
@RMUNTZ2 Fantastic riding!! I'm glad you're enjoying the challenge.
@Mari33a Woo hoo!! You're so very close!!!
Once more, I fell behind on logging - so from November 5th through today (November 13th), we have:
9 Rides!

Yesterday was 'finish a metric century for the Gran Fondo badge in Strava' day, and today is more playing around in the Tour of Watopia. One ride for today, because I've got a 10k run starting in... crud, less than an hour lol

Welcome to the group @Chirowalt2018 if you decide to join us. I find it great motivation to get on my bike. For me I’ve a target to hit not just the blind chore of getting exercise done. I use a road bike on a turbo trainer1 -
Took a tumble onto my knee earlier today, so wanted to get my ride in before it decides to stiffen up and bruise. Hoping that light riding keeps it from being a complete butt.

I only had 7 miles planned cycling 2day but put on some of last night’s boxing on Netflix & my legs kept pedalling 😅
@wendsg oh crap😔 hope ur knee isn’t bad. I was really busy with work for the past month & missed what marathon you did ? Tell us more

@Mari33a It was just a marathon on my treadmill, actually! First time ever running 26.2 miles, though, so for me it was a huge accomplishment. The longest I'd ever run before that were half marathons. The knee is... well, it's bad, but mostly for pressure like kneeling on it or going down the stairs in the house. For riding, it's not terrible. I was able to do a short race on it today! And tomorrow, we'll see if I can manage a run and a pair of rides on it (I have a Zwift meetup, the Basecamp workouts are starting tomorrow, and I was hoping to do a 15.75 mile run as part of my triathlon buildup schedule).
So yeah, only one ride today, and that was a race in Zwift up a virtual volcano. Fun times. Came in 5th out of a field of 23, 1st in my category, and was the only female in the field. Wee!!!
