Anyone for January Captain? Otherwise I'll continue, because I need to keep at running regularly, if I'm going to do the 25 km trail race again D:

I'm not up to captaining, but I at least plan to join in again, seeing as I've just signed up for a May marathon :-)

[blnchflr]

:)

Sorry I missed the checkin on the 27th. I'm at 45 miles for the month - not quite goal, but enough that I feel prepared for the 10K in a week. Apparently this month was more about speed.

[blnchflr]

No problem, I assumed people were busy with holiday stuff.

Looking forward to your race report :)

[temve]

I ended up with 76 miles run and 15.5 active hours, which means that despite my crappy May, I just managed my cumulative annual goal for 2015 *punches air*

Now to start an actual proper training plan again, because the wife signed me up for a half-marathon in May :)

[blnchflr]

*Whistles impressedly* - I fell far short of my cumulative goal, but then I hadn't counted on taking up yoga, which I've kept up with all year, so I'm actually ok with it.

[semielliptical]

Total of 102 miles, and 6 hours. Thanks for keeping us accountable!

I am going to take a little break from running for the beginning of this month, and then make my plans for a spring trail half marathon, and looking ahead further, my first marathon in the fall.

[ilanarama]

Woot! Have you chosen a marathon yet? I'm always happy to advise, you know, and I will be happy to help you figure out your training, and to set a time goal once the time comes.

[semielliptical]

I signed up for the Grand Rapids marathon, October 23rd. I like having my long-term goal pinned down so decided to pick a race and register by the beginning of the year.

Thanks for the offer for help with a training plan - I will take you up on that in the spring!

[blnchflr]

Welcome - have a good break :)

[ilanarama]

Well, um, I ended up with 120 for December, far short of my goal, mostly due to being sick during the last two weeks of the month. Phooey.

[blnchflr]

Ack, illness :(

[ridicully]

That number up there is my total, work did not cooperate with me running more :/

This closes a relatively disappointing year for running. Hopefully 2016 will be better.

[blnchflr]

I didn't run anywhere near as much as I'd hoped in 2015, either. Best of luck in 2016 to both of us :)

(I need to go for a 8.5 km run today, but it's so grey and cold and humid outside, *brrrr*).
