hope you're feeling better!

feb is probably the coldest month around here. i'm going to need some motivation to get outside and do this... please put me down for 60 miles. i need to force myself out more often! :-)

i'm late, but reporting for last saturday, 1/26- 11.26 miles

1/22- 6 "shredmill" miles have you guys heard that commercial? (in a fake arnold voice) "it's a shredmill... like a treadmill, but surrounded by rattlesnakes, so if you quit, you die."

I like to pressure cook mine with a lemon pepper marinade. they generally turn out moist and tender! (a crock pot with the marinade and a little water isn't a bad way to go either). you can also marinate in italian dressing.

cooriander- thinking of you! sorry you're going through a rough spot with your folks. i hope you find some you time somewhere in the mix, even if it's only a nice hot bath. (((hugs)))

1/19- checking in a little late for yesterday... 4.3 miles. it's cold, but we're getting there! keep up the great work people! :happy:

1/17- 4 lovely treadmill miles. boy that thing sucks. am i the only one who worries about getting too tired or not paying attention and flipping off of the dumb belt?! i feel like an idiot, but i just can't quite feel comfortable. :grumble:

1/15- it's freezing here too!!! 5 lovely miles on the treaddy today.

1/11- 4.27 miles 1/12- 6 miles (estimated)

lol. yep, that's it! is he reading this thread?

1/9/13- i wasn't going to run today because my knee was a bit sore, but it was too nice outside! (for me right now that means over 30 degrees!!!) 3 miles was just what the doctor ordered for a nice little stretch. my knee feels great now!

lol, i don't have trouble getting it into the dock, WHEN I CAN FIND IT!!! oh, sorry, that's a totally unrelated issue! :blushing:

1/8/13- well, the first few miles were horrible, but my body finally remembered what it was doing. 6 miles today.

Awww... thanks cooriander! :blushing: You're so sweet! I finally felt decent enough to run today... Outside even! :-) I forgot how much fun it was to run on icy roads! at any rate 1/5/13- 4.2 miles I've got a half marathon coming up in May so I need to stay healthy and get moving! Best wishes this month everyone! :drinker:

i hope i don't jinx myself by saying i'm in, but i'm back for another 50+ miles. hopefully those nasty germies will leave me alone this month (once i recover from my current nastiness). i'm guessing i won't get any miles in for several more days, but watch out next week!!!! :glasses: thanks cooriander! :flowerforyou:

Congratulations to everyone who made their running goal this month! Way to stick with it! I, on the other hand, ended up with a horrible cold and now the flu. Normally I'd try to beast it out, but I'm afraid there's little beast left in me after a month of being sick. Here's to a happy, healthy new year! :drinker:

12/26- 4.25 miles Cooriander- I guess it would be nice to change my goal. I think I'll shoot for 25 miles this month, which is laughable, but at least it will keep me accountable. Thanks! Hope you're feeling better too.

wow, i can't believe it is the 21st already. i've got 42 miles to goal and my lungs aren't ready to head back outside just yet. i guess i'll try to hit the treadmill and see if i can possibly make it to goal... oh boy.... even if i ran 3 miles a day for the rest of the month i would only get 30 more miles. maybe it'll warm…

12/10- i squeezed 3 miles out of my sick lungs yesterday, but hopefully i'll be better and back on track soon. the month is young!

12/4- 5.5 miles. 5.5 L-O-N-G slow miles. ugh. i hate those days where it takes two miles just to warm up and work out all the kinks, but i guess they make you appreciate the better days, right?

I'm looking forward to a December challenge... I'm in for 50 officially, but my secret goal is 80.... it's out there now, no turning back! :bigsmile: Happy Holidays everyone!

50 for me please and thank you so very much! i've said it before, but you're the best! :-) thanks for keeping track of all of us and for the encouragement along the way. :drinker:

i'd love to be back for 50 in december. thanks again for doing this. you're the best! :flowerforyou:

11/28- 5 more lovely trail miles. these are tough... i think they should count at least double! ;-)

11/27- 8 mile trail run today at a beautiful state park! love it!

everyone is doing such a great job! i've been fighting a chest cold so the cold winter air isn't the best on my poor pneumonia scarred lungs, but i'm hoping to get a trail run in later today. *crossing my fingers* hopefully i'll be able to breathe by the time i'm done!

it probably just means i'm doing something wrong, but thanks! i'll take it! lol. :-)

11/21- 5 miles 11/24- 4 miles

11/18- 6.5 miles... started REALLY S-L-O-W, but ended up with a 10K pb and a 5K pb too! :-) wow.
