As of yesterday afternoon--

Miles completed: 27.78
Percent of goal: 69.45%

Miles remaining: 12.22 ... which is technically possible to reach if I'm able to run my usual distance every day between now and the end of January!

We were both a bit sick last week (Tem-ve sicker than me, also less obsessive - she'll check in separately, our spreadsheets have diverged...) but still managed 24.5 miles, bringing my total to 99.89 miles. Had I realized that I was that close, I would have run the extra 0.11 of a mile today...

Anyway, I'm so close! (But not 23.5% over like you are! And that was your revised, higher goal, wasn't it? Congratulations!)

[blnchflr]

Don't overdo it - next month, a new challenge :)

[temve]

Since I've had two sick days last week and resolutely did not try to make up for them, my total as of this evening is at 91 miles - still on track to make those 100! :)

[blnchflr]

Poor you guys - but funny that you are so close ^__^

I don't know what came over me this month - am less than 10 km from my highest mileage ever. But as I'm hoping to participate in a 10K this weekend, I'm not going to try and run that between now and then just to best it.

But I should revise my goal, so I'm not bragging with my silly 3-digit percentage :)

[blnchflr]

That still means you ran 20 miles last week with two sick days O__O ! Impressive!

[semielliptical]

6.5 more miles.

This represents a single treadmill run. I really don't like running indoors, but I was grateful for the free guest pass that let me visit a nearby fitness center. Otherwise I would have had 0 miles this week, what with the continuing terrible weather and a busy work schedule.

[blnchflr]

Yup, weather is not fun right now; yay for alternatives to outside runs :)

[cadenzamuse]

KIDNEY STONES. 0 mi. :(((((

(Oh well, between the cold and the kidney stones, I am almost guaranteed better mileage next month?)

[blnchflr]

:(((

I hope those clear up quick, take care!

[ilanarama]

Good for you for moving your goalpost!

It's still been glorious weather here, though it'll cloud up and possibly rain or snow later this week. I'm at 185 for the month right now. Whew, looks like 200 is achievable!

I'll post a poll about next month's challenge tomorrow, 'kay?

[ilanarama]

Oh, no! My fingers are crossed for you!

[ilanarama]

Yay you! I hope you've been getting as great running weather in your part of CO as I have down here in the southwest corner!

[blnchflr]

Yeah, hopefully it's get me out for the last run of the month, even though it's crappy weather and conditions now.

200 miles is unfathomable to me :)

Yes!

[ell]

You are a running machine!

Yay, another monthly challenge! This one was a great motivator or me :-) i really enjoyed it!

[gnomad]

Er, I added 2 last week.

In my defense!! I came down with some minor plague and hacking cough, neither of which goes well with running and winter weather.

[blnchflr]

2 miles is not nothing :)

Ack for cold - hope you're on the mend!
