Today is the first day of Pile on the Miles!
I started the day with a 6.5 mile run. I didn’t fall this time, but my knees were a little stiff. This is my last run before the ING New York Marathon!!! Eeek! Scary to think.
In addition to my fear of running 26.2 miles, I’m pretty nervous about traveling to NY with so much destruction left behind by Sandy. But the NYRR announced today that the Marathon will go ahead as planned. Some of the pre-race events have been cancelled though. Check out the ING NY Marathon website for more information.
I’m working with ING to share information on how to help/donate – that’s coming soon!
October Recap:
My favorite RUN
Some months it’s hard to choose my favorite run of the month, but this one was easy! It’s my new Long Beach Marathon PR!!!
Favorite EAT
The delicious Sabra buffet at their factory tour
Favorite post I’d like to REPEAT
POTM starts today and goes until Dec 1st. The challenge is to focus on being a bit more active as the holiday season brings all it’s delicious foods around!
Today is the LAST DAY to sign up because some people had issues with the spreadsheet. Add yourself to this link if you want to play. I’m going to resort it alphabetically end of day and we’ll leave it that way so it’s easier to navigate. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArBkv0LjyfmxdDA5dUdLTXlGT3ZoUnpxcWp4cDFfNXc
Share your goal for the amount of miles you want to walk or run this month in the comments and be entered to win a custom case of Chobani!!!
I would probably go all pineapple and chocolate chunk it if was me
Leave a comment with your POTM goal and you’ll be entered to win.
Open to all residents of Earth, but Chobani can only be shipped to the US. If you live in Budapest or something I will send you something else though so still leave your goal in the comments!
Katherine Allen says
So I just realized I signed up and have been tracking my miles but I don’t think I posted my goal here in a comment! Wooops! So here we go… My goal is 50 miles. I am a SPIN/fitness instructor and also do some personal training so my mileage is low but I make it count! I have two half marathons this month so this goal will be pretty darn doable…. maybe I should’ve upped it! LOL
Emily P says
VERY small goal – 30 miles! gotta rest this IT band 🙁
runeatrepeat says
That’s not a small goal!
Ree says
50 miles for November!
lindsey says
Id like to run 60 if not more!
mary evans says
I set my goal at 90 miles because my highest month this year was 86 miles. But then on Oct. 27th I hurt my ankle during a half marathon. I still don’t feel like I can run on it and am super bummed.
Love Chobani! One of those and some fruit and veggies are a good lunch for me.
Leigh S. says
I was hoping to do this, but I, too, am bummed I missed the sign-up. (My bad!) I can only blame Halloween and my two kids (ha-ha, goofy/bad joke I know). Seriously, though, I’d still like to play, sans prize, but didn’t know if I should still add myself to the spreadsheet or not (once I figured out how to use it). So, I’ll just post here. My goal for November is 45 miles. I’m building up my base again after about 2-3 months of various mishaps, so my mileage is pretty low right now. Thanks for the fun challenge!
Kayla says
150 miles! Woot!
Amanda says
Pineapple all the way! I’m hoping for 100!!
Teresa @ www.fitinwoodbine.com says
So bummed I missed the sign up!!!!! I will do it anyway:)

Abbie says
My goal is to run/walk 50 miles this month! I am 6 and a half months pregnant and need this encouragement! Also, my baby girl would love some chobani, she prefers mango and vanilla! 🙂
Suzanne says
My goal is 50 miles, which has been my average for the past couple months. I have some stuff going on or I’d bump it up to 75. Maybe next year.
I’d love to win some Chobani, since I just had to throw an entire case out. My electric was off for 3 days straight. Sad (but not as sad as the people who don’t have homes to go back to, let alone lights.)
Good luck on Sunday in NY!!!
lexi says
I would love love love to get around 50 miles!!

Erin Nicole says
My goal is around 100 miles… Fingers crossed!!

Kathryn says
My goal is 30! One for every day
Jen says
Good luck at NY 🙂 This week I am hoping for 40 miles and 150 for the month.
Sarah says
I would love to run 10 miles a week. I was doing 18 a week, easy–a few months ago and then hit a wall. Now I am slowly (but surely) working back up to my mileage. It is a lot of mental will power for me to make it through each run. I am running for TURKEY and PECAN PIE 🙂
Andrea M says
i love chobani! my goals are to start running again since i’ve been healing my it band
Sue says

35 miles!!
Veronica says
My goal is 75… I’m gonna make it! 🙂
Megan says
My goal is 60… we will see!
violinista says
I guess I made a goal of 90 miles on the spreadsheet with the hope I might push myself harder and do a little more. I totally missed my run this morning, though:( Will have to make up for it tomorrow morning! Do we need to put in the mileage we hope to accomplish ahead of each week, or do we not have to worry about it and just report actual numbers at the end of the month?
Katie M says
I’m going for a nice, even 100 miles…although that may be a bit of a stretch given my travel schedule…
Becky says
I’ll say…. 70. 🙂
Jojo says
100 miles, averaging 25 miles per week.
Tricia says
My goal is to do 40 miles this month between running on treadmill and walking the dog.
Sarah Beth Houser says
My goal just got a little tougher… I got a new pair of shoes, but my left calf apparently doesn’t like them. Three runs this week have been painful and short (just a mile or two and it hurts).
I put in heel cups and they seem to be better. 🙂
Prof. Kitty says
Love this idea! I’m signed up for a 3-mile Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving. Apart from that I hope to pile on an additional 40 miles or so. Putting myself down for 45 total. Good luck everybody!

sarah @ Sedwick Studio says
My goal is 100 miles for the month. I really think signing up for POTM will help me keep track and reach my goal! BTW, I donated a painting to this fundraiser auction for Hurricane Sandy relief! (here’s the link: http://www.dailypaintworks.com/Challenge/C0EB586C-7142-4c96-A589-DF9DC9BABA1A). Just another way for people to help if they want to. 🙂

Cari says
I think my goal is 45 miles– november’s going to be a busy one!

Happier Heather says
I’m shooting for 100 miles. Will probably get 3-4 miles in tonight to start it off right.
I took a peak at the spreadsheet and WOW, that’s a lot of people participating! It will be fun to see what the final mileage total is at the end.
I’ve only tried the Pineapple Chobani, so I’d do a sampler pack with all of the flavors to give them a try!
mel says
100 mile goal and pineapple rocks
Joanne says
I’d like to run 160 but since we are going away for Thanksgiving and the weather could start getting bad in upstate NY (as if it hasn’t already!…thinking “Sandy”), miles might be more like 120.
Ultimate goal = 160

TiffanyS says
I put 75 miles, as it is getting colder here in MN! I hope to do more if the weather holds. I despise the treadmill.
I love the pineapple flavor the best too! I haven’t found the chocolate one yet. I acutally like the plain the best probably for cooking with. Makes your eggs super duper fluffy.
Coby says
My goal is 50 miles!

I’m all about the plain chobani and adding in my favorite toppings! But I must say I do love the pineapple, raspberry, lemon and apple cinnamon kinds as well! Who am I kidding, I love all Chobani! 😉

Jenna U. says
My goal is 30 miles! I’m pregnant so just want to do baby steps =)

Mmmm, Chobani….
My goal is 60 miles for the month. That should be doable, without being too much for my body right now. And, hopefully, in the middle there will be a half marathon PR, and perhaps a 10K PR on Turkey Day.
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I better get out the door and run!
Ashley E says
My goal for the month is 40 miles.
Niki says
I’m planning on running 75 miles total with my half marathon training. Apple Cinnamon is my favorite! 🙂

Amanda says
I’m so excited for this challenge! I pledged to run 75 miles this month. Here’s to avoiding the Thanksgiving weight gain.

My goal is to run 60 miles this month and to get back to doing more yoga. I’ve totally been slacking since the Nike Women’s half in October and it’s time to stop being such a lazy bum.
Theresa says
Just got on the spreadsheet! Never done anything like this before, so it should be fun. Since it’s my offseason and I just got done with fall marathons, I’m going with 300 miles for the month as I’m not running quite as much and doing more cross training.
Good luck everyone with POTM and Good Luck this weekend Monica!

runeatrepeat says
Great goal!
Katie K says
I want to get back into running after a stint of nothing but Pure Barre, so my goal for the month is 45 miles! Whoo!
Amanda W says
My actual goal was something like 20 or 30 miles (I’m a beginning runner, I don’t have a regular schedule of multiple miles a week currently) but all of the bigger numbers made me feel like a wimp so I think I officially put 45. Thing is, I know that isn’t entirely outlandish, sooo… Here’s to pushing myself!
Stephanie says
My goal is 130 miles of running. That is actually low compared to the last couple months but I am also trying to focus on strength until it’s time to start training for Boston.
Melissa @ The Melissa Chronicles says
120 miles! I think I need some left over halloween candy to fuel the start of this challenge 😉
Kathy says
My goal is 80 miles….don’t know why I picked that number but I am hoping to reach it and maybe more. 😉
Gosh I better get walking…it starts today!!!
runeatrepeat says
You win! Email me your information 🙂
Amy says
I have been totally slacking in the running arena, so to get back into it my goal is 30 miles (I know I can at least get in 1 mile a day). Hopefully more 🙂 Yay for running again!
Amy says
My goal is to run 40 miles this month.
Audra H says
I’m excited to start the Pile on the Miles challenge. November, here I come!

Oh I understand! I think we were supposed to write our goal for the entire challenge. 40 miles is my overall goal! 🙂
MamaB says
My goal is 45 miles this month. I’m sure I can do more, but with the baby’s sleep schedule right now, who knows. I think 45 is good though.
Gassmama says

Watermelon flavor

I’m so excited to participate in this again this year. I want to try to do between 15-25 miles a week. I love Chobani. Yum!
Sienna says
50 miles for me! I’ve been focusing on strength training this summer so I’m excited to add more cardio back in and try to get outside for walks at lunch!
Alyssa says
I fear I set my goal too lofty. My competitive side says 100… My lazy side says 50. I think I’ll go 75 to try to keep the peace.
Magda says
I think I put 85 as my goal on the spreadsheet but it might have been too ambitious 🙁 I got sick right after my first marathon and I ended up not running for 3 weeks. Now running is really hard, my heart rate goes through the roof 🙁 So I think I’ll be happy with 60 this month 🙂
Kim says
My goal is 50. I want to do more but we are traveling for two weeks around Thanksgiving so we will see!

amanda @ fake ginger says
40 miles is my goal! 🙂
Molly says
Goal = 75 miles.
I’m sort of obsessed with the passionfruit Chobani. It’s hard to find, but I love that the seeds add a little bit of crunch, without being obnoxiously hard to chew (I’m looking at you, pomegranate).
Marcy says
My goal is 75 miles…have a half to run this Sunday to kick it off!
Jess says
My goal is 50 miles this month!!

Hazel @ therunaweighgourmet.com says
My other goal is to read all the words! My goal for the month is 60 miles!! Chobani yogurt sounds amazing but I don’t think we can get it in Canada?
Melissa says
I set my goal at 100 miles. Just coming off a marathon but hoping to keep myself motivated enough with a couple half marathons…25 miles a week sounds pretty do-able in the grand scheme! And Chocolate chunk chobani sounds delicious!!
Dynamics says
I am so surprised at how many people have signed up. I am working on three goals. One is to get up those five flights of stairs without stopping and being able to continue on my walk. The second goal is to make it up the side hill faster or at the very least a consistent speed all the way to the top. My big, big terrifying goal is to conquer this HUGE hill on the cross country trail by 12/31. I stand at the bottom and look and think, no way can I make it up that hill. I watched a 7 year old get up it without stopping so I surely can. I have two weeks to work on the stairs and side hill and then off to the cross country trail to condition for the MONSTER hill. No 7 year old is going to get the better of me. HA! Okay, now I have put it in writing for all to see. Thanks Monica for sharing a piece of your blog for me to do this. I said it out loud and there is no going back!!!!! Up, up, up I go!!!!
Julie says
My realistic goal is 55 miles but i wanna do more if i can!!
Taylor says
I’m not really a long-distance person, so my goal is 20 miles for the month. But I also want to focus on doing more yoga & pilates, which is the type of exercise I prefer.
