Novemburr Run Challenge (Page 11)

Finally got the results for my Turkey Trot Saturday. Here's my race report: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp... on track to make my goal, but honestly, I don't see it happening. I will try my best. I'm really wishing that I'd not been so aggressive with my goal, but I need to be pushed, right?

van_paulus - 2011-11-23 3:12 PM HAHAHA!! Consistency is the key Cold weather helps getting my long runs in too. Find a training buddy that has this much fun and you wont be BAGGING workouts !

My puppy's a beagle and basset hound mix... I'm hoping to make him my running buddy when he gets older.  Right now he loves to run when we try to walk him so I'm hoping he'll do good with running/jogging when he gets older.

Haha he's already talking about how this is going to be the easiest challenge ever for him and that maybe I should get a head start... we'll see how cocky he is at the end of the 4 weeks

Yes you have to go aggressive and push yourself!!  Better to shoot big and come up short than aim low and and hit it.

owl_girl - 2011-11-25 2:37 PM Looking good Pacific Time Zone!  My run on Sunday will bump me over 100%  Great job everyone.  Keep running!  2nd place is still up for grabs! 

Nah. Mountain/Central has it. And there's still a little bit of time left in the month still.

Congrats to Pacific. You three posted great numbers!

Morning all! 

I'm so close to my goal but only 3 days left so I may *just* miss it if I act responsibly.  We'll see how I'm feeling.  I guess I should have factored vacations in my initial plans!! 

Congrats to everyone for a strong effort!  Van_Paulus can take a nice little vacation for the rest of the month! 

owl_girl - 2011-11-27 3:46 PM Yay!!!  I hit 100%!!!!  Keep on running!!!

Congratulations! I'm thinking now I may be able to do it. Mondays are horrible for me, and I don't know when I'm going to be able to get any running in. Maybe early in the morning before the day starts. But I have only 6.5 I need to do over the next three days, so I think I'm going to make it.

I was not able to get in as much running over the long weekend as I would have liked but still only have 7 miles left to reach my goal.  I have a 9 miler planned tomorrow morning so should be good.  I would not mind getting to 160 for the month and make it a round 300 for October-November.

Keep it up everyone - we are almost there!!!

You can do 6.5 miles over 3 days!!!!  No problem!!!!

Congrats on hitting 100% Tracy and Paul! I'll have mine in tomorrow.

Nice job to everyone for some fantastic running this month!

Thanks Roni!!!!

Another couple of miles this evening on the treadmill.  Now I am officially at 100% without the bonus miles from racing twice this month!  That makes me happy.

No sandbagging here!!!!!

Next month? The 50 miler, now a 51.2 miler because they had to re-route due to trail maintenance, is on the 3rd. After that I think I'll start swimming and biking again, lol. I like Tracy's idea of a 4 discipline challenge.

I just learned that one of our very active running club members had a massive heart attack and passed away.  He was going to do his umpteenth marathon this weekend.  I'm so sad for his family.

Give thanks for what you have because it could be gone in a moment.
