I made it to NYC!
Buuuuut, I FORGOT MY GARMIN. <- Major fail of America. I don’t even know what to say for myself. I took it off after my run yesterday morning and put it by the door table, not back in my runner bin.
Anyway. I am in New York for the Marathon and have some fun plans with friends before all those miles!

Exercising During Pregnancy Is Important For You And Baby says
Your ex is setting you up for a few days or weeks later, when you find out he has a
new girlfriend. The workouts are a fantastic mix of compound exercises that get
your heart rate very high, so they incorporate cardiovascular training with muscle building.
Behave Like You’re Already Pregnant – If you’re trying to get pregnant or suspect that you may already be pregnant,
start conditioning your body and changing any unhealthy lifestyle habits.

I ran 55 miles in September, 57 miles in October, and considered making 60 miles a goal for November. But then I remembered cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, sweet potato delight, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and caramel chocolate cheesecake. And that there are only 6 of us. So I added an extra 5 miles cause I run for good food.

Since my back injury at the end of April this year, I’ve been discovering new workouts and running has really taken a back seat. But I ran the Army 10 Miler this October – my first race since my injury – and it was pain free and completely reminded me about why running was my first love!

My pile in the miles goal is 60 miles. I just ran my first half-marathon in October with a time of 2:06 and not a lot of training. I want to get under 2 hours for my next one, so I really need to add on mileage! My goal is only 2 miles a day so I definitely think it is doable, but I’ve never run that much before! I’m ready for this!
Jess H. says
My goal is 60 miles, with a tentative goal of walking 2 miles a day. I can’t run until I get cleared by a podiatrist thanks to a chronic injury, but my doc said I need to keep up my cardio anyway, and this is a perfect challenge for it!
Jillian says
Alright… here we go! My goal is 110 miles for November and a 1:52:00 half marathon either in Philly Nov. 17 or Gloucester, Mass. Dec. 8. It’s been an off-and-on year for running in my world, so 110 would be my peak month. My current half marathon PR is 1:52:03, so I’m aiming to shave off those last three seconds before gunning for 1:50.
Chelsea Carnine says
My Pile on the Miles goal for the month is 50 miles.

Gillian @ That's G says
My November goal is 100 miles — including walking, running, and spinning. (For spin, I am counting one hour class as 4 miles — I probably spin the equivalent of 20 but 4 seems like a nice fair number).
This morning, I taught a one-hour spin class, so I’m at 4 miles! I want to get a FitBit or something to track walking. It will be cool to see what I’m at. Love this challenge — and I love the bit about “doing you”

Liz @ Carpe Diem and Run says
I really need to try Quest Bars!
Meagan Madere says
My November goal is to run at LEAST 100 miles. All throughout the summer I was able to run as much as I wanted (not being in school) so I would always get in the 100’s. Since starting graduate school, I’m always busy and really trying to stay on my game… which is why I registered for a Half in December to keep myself accountable for running! October I was only able to run 75 miles (didn’t help that I had to take a weak and a half off due to my right calf) and that just doesn’t cut it for me! Plus, it’s that time of the year where all I want to do is eat all the delicious food in the entire world so I’ll really need to pile on those miles 😉

Kaitlin says

Rob says

Run, eat, repeat after me…Never forget my Garmin again.

Jenn @ Fairest Run of All says
Oh, wait, I’m stupid. MONTH, not WEEK. Blarg. Anyway – 170 miles is what I’m going for over the month! I did 167 last month. That was my most ever, but no reason I can’t get a BIGGER most ever, right? 😀

Tasha says
My goal is to run for 50 minutes straight at least once a week during November. I just had a baby 6 weeks ago so I am building up my endurance as I could not run due to pelvic pain during the last 3 months of my pregnancy.

My November goal is 150 miles! I usually average about 20-25 miles per week, so I wanted to really challenge myself to see if I could do closer to 40 a week. But since I have my first half marathon tomorrow, my first week in Nov is going to be a little less mileage than normal, so I’m going to count any miles I walk for exercise as well!

My Nov. goal is 80 miles, though I’m hopeful that I can rehab this ITBS once and for all and maybe hit even more miles when I’m healthier again!
Laura says
My goal is 140 miles/35 per week. A secondary goal would be to run everyday, even if just a mile. Of course, the weather is not cooperating this morning, with 45 mph wind gusts. Hopefully, it will be better this evening, or I may have to hit the treadmill 🙂

My goal for November is to follow my workout plan daily! For the first time in a long time I am not actually training for any runs, so to keep myself in shape I will be hitting the gym 5 days a week and then hitting the road for at least one outdoor run a week (probably an easy 5 mile run)

Lori Sjolund says
My goal is at least 50 miles. I am trying to take it easy and recover from some lingering shin-splints so we will see how it goes!
Randa says
My November goal is to run 30 miles. I typically only run 1-2 times/week and do circuit training 3-4 days per week. So, while 30 miles pales in comparison to what some of the rest of you are planning to do, it is an ambitious goal for me!
Carrie thompson says
I want to run 30 miles a week for the month of November 🙂

i want 93 miles (average of 3.1 per day)– not setting it for 3.1 per day but just as an overall goal, somedays longer, some shorter and maybe some not at all. I have been not running focused for about 8 months due to an injury then the FL summer heat but I am wanting to get back to my half/full shape. AND i am going to try to not beat myself up about getting my ‘milage’ back…
Cindy Newlun says
My goal is to run 50 miles this month.
Karen Levin says
My goal for the week is 25 miles. Goal for November is to run at least 3 times a week … not less than 3 mile at a time. My semi goal for November is to run the RnR Las Vegas Half Marathon in UNDER 2:20. There I said it… It’s a definite GOAL. Hey Monica… check out the Garmin booth at NYC Marathon Expo. They should have the brand new 220 and 620 watches. Pricey … but they look AWESOME!!

My November goals are to PR at my two upcoming half marathons. this is my first time running two in one month.
Maria G says
My goal for the week is simple, because I have a marathon of sorts tomorrow (I’m doing a cooking marathon for Endure for Kindness, benefiting Random Acts, so I’m cooking for two other families and myself – the longer I cook, the more money I raise, in theory). I want to do every run in the Turkey Trot Training schedule and resume Jillian Michaels’ Body Revolution, which worked very well for me in the past. We’ll see how it works out, because my job is very random when it comes to deadlines and it can throw off my schedule pretty easily.
Leighann says
Run 50 miles this month. This sounds so lame when you are running more than half of that in one run!
Melissa Shirey says

Caryn says
My Pile on the Miles goal for the month of November is 35 miles. I just started getting moving again, and I am really hopeful that this challenge keeps me going!
Stephanie says
I want to run 100+ miles. This should easily happen if I complete my other goal: do ALL of my marathon training runs this month. I’ve missed a couple here and there, but I really want to just bust it out since I’m now 2 months out!
Stephanie says
My November goal is to get in 100 miles this month. I live in the midwest so when it turns cold I usually slow my running down as I don’t like running on treadmills and I’m a wimp when it comes to running in the cold. So I’m hoping to keep my mileage up with this goal so I can keep in shape for a spring marathon.
