Personal goal mileage for February

[ilanarama]

To get us started with our February runners challenge, please comment with your goal mileage for the month! (Remember it's only 28 days...) You're welcome to participate in the challenge whether or not you have a personal goal - just post your miles on the challenge posts and I'll add them in - but it will help me select an appropriate virtual destination if I have a vague idea of how "far" we might get.

I'm gonna throw in for another 200 miles. Who else?

35 miles. I signed up for my first half, which is going to force me to get more consistent. If only the weather cooperates....

[ilanarama]

Yay! When is your half?

By the way, I'm going to be sort of in your neck of the woods in mid-April, and am going to sign up for the Lakefront 10-miler!

[thalia]

First weekend in May.

The Lakefront 10-miler should be great, if the weather isn't awful. (This year don't get your hopes up--the way things are going we'll get a foot of snow.) We'll have to meet up, at least, and if you feel like staying an extra day or two you're welcome to stay with us.

[ilanarama]

Thank you! I will have some free time on Thursday evening and Friday - we'll have to coordinate schedules. I don't know where you are exactly but I'll be at Argonne, for a conference.

[thalia]

Actually, I'm very close to Argonne--Matt's father worked there, and Matt drives past it every day. We'll definitely sort something out. If you weren't doing the race I'd say you should go for a run at Waterfall Glen, which is basically a wooded 10-mile loop around Argonne.

[ilanarama]

Even with the race I'll still go running there, I bet! That sounds great.

[semielliptical]

45 miles.

[ilanarama]

Gotcha on the list!

[silveraspen]

Let's see - I didn't quite make my 40 last month, but I'm upping my pledge to push toward a training goal anyway. 50 miles.

I'm training toward the Colfax half in May.

[ilanarama]

Excellent!

[cadenzamuse]

Well, I got nowhere near 20, but I had a cold and kidney stones. Not sure how the kidney stones are doing, so let's say 15 miles? *feels like a wimp*

[silveraspen]

You are not a wimp at all! You are persisting and thus awesome.

[cadenzamuse]

Thanks. Just feeling mopey recently. :-/

[blnchflr]

Agree, no wimpiness - come on, kidney stones! Hope it won't be too hard getting back to it.

[cadenzamuse]

Heh, thanks. Maybe going to try run/walking today...*crosses fingers*

[ell]

I just checked the training plan and it say 145 for February. I'm going to hedge my bets and sign up for 140 to take into account the inevitable missed run. I haven't had a month over 100 miles in about a year and a half. This should be fun. :-)

[ilanarama]

Woohoo! Mo miles mo betta!

[temve]

I'll try and do 120 miles!

[ilanarama]

Okay, got you on the list!

[blnchflr]

55 km.

[blnchflr]

Ok, fine, call it 35 miles!

Yay, look at all the new faces :)

[ilanarama]

I don't mind the metric conversion! :-)

[blnchflr]

But now I've decided to up it to 35 miles, so there :)

[ilanarama]

Oooh, that's a whole 1.3 extra km!!!! WOW! Are you sure you won't hurt yourself?!

Come on, go for 60km!

I have to leave you as km so the other km person won't get lonely!

[ridicully]

I'm new to this, ell pointed me towards this com.
I hope I'm allowed to play :)

75km

[blnchflr]

Absolutely allowed - welcome :)

[cadenzamuse]

Woo! Of course you're allowed to play, the whole point is to internet-hang-out with other runners. :D

[meri_oddities]

I didn't sign up last month, but how about 100+ miles for February. Should be easy since I'm running Austin this month. Or do races not count?

[blnchflr]

I count my races - I'm running!

[cadenzamuse]

I count my races! It's about total mileage, not about training mileage.

[calico_jane]

Also new to this - Hi all! 35 miles for me

[blnchflr]

Welcome, 35 miles buddy :)

[linaelyn]

50 miles. That's less than 2 per day, so I think I can manage it, even with the health challenges of this month.

[ilanarama]

Yay! Though, boo on your health challenges.
