My final mileage for January clocked in at 102 miles - yay I made it!

[blnchflr]

Amaaazing, congrats!

[semielliptical]

8 more miles, so I (barely) passed my goal, at 40.5 miles total!

And thanks for organizing the challenge - it definitely motivated me to fit in runs while faced with terrible weather and my work schedule!

[blnchflr]

Congrats :) !

It kept me motivated, too.

[ilanarama]

Hey, you'd never updated from my previous week! I was at 185 last week - but I ended the month with 209, hooray!

And, thanks for starting us out with a challenge. I think whether or not it's motivating to run, it's certainly community-building.

[blnchflr]

No, I could tell I'd messed up, but was lazypants - both posts should be updated correctly now :)

And yaaay, congrats on unfathomable mileage!

And wish me luck on my 10K tomorrow - my test run on Tuesday was super-disappointing :/

[ilanarama]

Aw, bummer on the disappointment (knees?) but I hope your 10K goes well! I wish 10K was a more popular distance in the US.

I didn't join the challenge this month, myself, yet I answered that YES, the challenge motivated me to run more than I would have, otherwise! Thanks for posting about this.

[blnchflr]

Glad it motivated you on the sidelines - welcome to the February challenge!

115! Highest mileage month in over a year :-) (ok, that's partly because i was spending far too much time biking and swimming last year, but still)

[blnchflr]

Whoo, so impressive!!

[ilanarama]

Rah! yay on highest in a year!

[cadenzamuse]

Yep, I ended the month at 5.1 mi. Which, hey, is a higher mileage than any of the past nine months! :-P

Definitely felt like I could have run today (probably), so going to concentrate on drinking lots of water and go for it tomorrow.

[blnchflr]

And that's something to cheer for!

Happy run - am on my way to a 10K, myself D:

[gnomad]

Oh! Right. Checking DW.

I am still sick so I finished out January with a measly 4 additional miles. Bah. And the cough keeps on going! I've been ordered on rest for most of this week after running 4 miles on Tuesday and then spending the night coughing up a lung. BAH.

[blnchflr]

:( - speedy recovery! (But take it easy until then, if you can!)
