It’s time for the Pile on the Miles Challenge 2015!!! Are you ready???!!
Pile On The Miles is an annual event online where we challenge ourselves to walk or run more during the month of November. The goal is to pile on extra miles not pounds during this food filled time of year!
This is the 7th Annual Pile on the Miles Challenge!!! The first one was in 2009 and I won 2nd place for the most miles. I took it over in 2010 and would LOVE for you to participate.
What: FREE Online challenge to move more during turkey month.
Who: Everyone is invited to join. Everywhere around the world!
When: November 1 – Nov 28
Where: Virtual!
Sign up on this form below and come back to RunEatRepeat.com everyday in November to stay accountable and be entered in a drawing for prizes.
Why: Challenge yourself and encourage others to move more this month. This is about setting a goal and staying accountable with daily check-ins. It is NOT a competition for the most miles any longer – it’s about YOUR GOALS.
The Rules:
1. Sign up by completing this form.
You can fill it out via the link or on the form embedded in this post. There will be a place for your name, email and goal for the month. Signing up makes you eligible to win the prizes but you must check in at the end of the week with a comment on how you did to be eligible for that week’s prize.
2. Set a goal to WALK or RUN or MOVE x amount of miles or minutes in November. These could be miles OR a set time on the treadmill OR outside/inside walking or running or cycling… Do your favorite exercise!
Examples:
I will run 50 miles in November!
I will take a 30 minute walk each day!
I will go to Pilates 3 times a week!
I will walk my neighbor’s dog when they’re at work and hopefully they won’t call the cops again…
3. Leave a comment on RunEatRepeat.com each Saturday in November with your Mileage/Minutes Check-in for that week.
Comments on those posts will be entered into that day’s giveaway. You can have a rest day or a day that you needed ‘off’ but you must check-in and be accountable to be entered to win.
Yes – you can check in with a “Rest Day” or “I’m tragic and slept in” or “I have a hangover the flu, send help” comment – it’s about staying honest and on track overall.
We’re looking for progress NOT perfection – so check in everyday to keep the momentum going!!

I DID it! I ran my 1/2 marathon on Thursday and completed it. It was way harder than I expected – one hill after another – but I did it. Flew home yesterday wearing my compression socks and today is definitely a rest day!
Ohhh how I would love an avocado tree! That sounds like my version of heaven.
POTM: today’s a rest day from running for me, but I plan to get some elliptical/bike/rowing time and some strength work at the gym after work.
I ran a solid 6 this morning in the rain, a good misty rain!
5 Miles yesterday, rain has stopped.. hoorah!
8.9 miles ran for the week. Looking to reach my 75 miles by the end of the month.
2 miles for Saturday

Oh, girl, I’m in! I need to get back into the swing of things so badly. Here’s to hoping that this will do the trick. 🙂
So it’s day one! And I logged a 3.5 mile run (even after all the Halloween celebrating the night before). I must admit, I’m pretty proud!
Happy November!!! I am starting off the month right by going for a run! I ran the Monster Dash in Chicago yesterday and set a new personal record! Happy running, everyone!
