3.3 miles tonight. I wanted to get a longer run in but I'm feeling pretty sore from an hour of football (soccer to the yanks out there) and I've got to get through 2 hours of softball training later this evening too! Will be struggling to fit running in this week, especially longer runs. Might just have to sneak a few 5k…

Good luck! And welcome!

@ddmom0811 great job with the pr! Congrats!

Faster is not the same as better.

10k today... 25.5 miles out of a target of 76.

Absolutely stinking weather here today... cold with buckets of sideways rain. I bailed on parkrun this morning, but got myself out for a very wet & windy 7 miles this afternoon. I think I must really be a runner now, because the prospect of missing a weekend run seemed way worse than being outside in this weather for an…

Welcome @chiccam ! Nobody will laugh at your goal, the folks here are great, you'll only find encouragement and support. Good luck with it! Not been able to get out since Monday cos life. Managed to get 7.1 miles in this morning, waaaay quicker than I meant to go, probably due to the 3 involuntary rest days! 12 out of 76…

5 niiiiice slooooooow miles today to start the month. 5 down, 71 to go!

I'm in for 76 this month. Might be a bit stretching as I have a few things on this month which will get in the way, but, y'know, running!

What do you use for tracking your runs? When I've been away somewhere without data I've downloaded the maps for the area I'll be in for off line use in Google maps, often before travelling. The running Apps on my phone seem to work fine with that.

my significant butt is why I'm on mfp in the first place... :smiley:

Holy moly! Congrats everyone on a great month. It's awesome seeing everyone putting in the miles and having a group of people who *get it* to report back to. 6.8 miles today, finishing off at 88 for the month. First time I've done 10k at sub 9 minute miles. Nice way to round off the month.

5 and a bit miles today, including 5k at parkrun. 81/60 for the month.

4 miles tonight, at a pretty quick pace for me. First chance I've had to get out since my monster run on Sunday. Got a PR on one of the Strava segments nearby: I'm the fastest fat person in my neighbourhood! :smiley: That took me to 76 miles for the month, reaching my stretch goal of 75. Suspect I'll end up around 85ish.

Thanks! Great job with your miles - 102! Good luck with the marathon training :)

Congrats! Mini goals is the way to get it done - step by step all the way :)

@snha : Congrats on making your target! :smiley: As I said yesterday morning I went past my 60 mile target with a 5k at parkrun... meaning that the motivation just wasn't there when I went out for my usual Sunday "long" run today. I usually do about 5-7 miles, with 8.1 being my furthest so far. I knew I could just coast…

3.2 miles at Parkrun this morning to take me past my goal for the month: 62/60 miles done. Pretty pleased with that, my previous best month was 52ish. I think my original "stretch" goal of 75 should be pretty doable from here now :)

3.6 miles tonight, squeezed in between work and a social event. Left knee giving me gyp from being on my feet teaching all week - I'm a techy not a teacher, but I was teaching a course about my specialism this week and it's caused my dodgy knee to flare up. 58.8/60 miles for the month.

Ran 5k in the cold tonight, after bottling it this morning. Don't know why, but it was just *hard* tonight: it's not a long distance for me, and I was going slooooow, but every step seemed like a slog. Eh, it is what it is. 55/60 miles for the month.

8.1 miles @ 9:11min/mile today. Almost tripped over running through a group of ramblers who kept weaving oblivious into my path despite me shouting 3 separate warnings :| 52/60 for the month now.

Fantastic, well done!

4.4 miles this morning, including Parkrun. 44/60.

5.2 miles in the cold tonight. About 2C. No rain though :( 39.5/60

Ah, you like that hot dry rain I've been hearing about :p

5.1 miles tonight in the cold rain. Love running in the rain! :) 34/60 miles done.

5k parkrun yesterday, 7 miles today... 29.5 miles total so far. Almost halfway to my 60 mile target, think I will be aiming for my 75 mile stretch goal at this rate :)

Um.... no, it's the other way around, you pay on the way in, it's free on the way out. I'd hate to think you were trapped in our lovely country under false pretences! :smiley:

I'm late to the party but I'm in for 60 this month, with a stretch goal of 75. 50 has been the most I've done before, my goal for this year is to run slower and further. 19 miles done so far!
