Good day! I started my day with a slow 6 mile run. My legs feel tight and tired – I really need to get to yoga this week. Oh, and my quads said a massage would be much appreciated too. Noted.
I wore my new super awesome Brooks Pure Flows the company sent me last week. I am in love with the color. Love love love!
Speaking of feets… my poor toe nails are all blue and sad from the two Marathons I ran in Oct and Nov. It’s weird that the long training runs don’t turn them blue, but after a full mary they are goners.
One of my favorite Meme’s ever (have I shared why before?)
Post- run I made eggs and oatmeal. Two months ago I made a joke that this meal reminds me of a body builder’s breakfast (probably minus the nut butter because it slows the absorption of protein post workout). Well, the joke’s on me because I am obsessed with this…
Ah! In the middle of writing this post I got a knock at the door. I totally forgot I changed my TV service and had an appointment for the install this morning. Don’t you love knowing the mundane details of my life? No? Oops.
Pile On The Miles ends this Saturday!

Kelli says
Gah, I got so off last week and then my Thanksgiving morning 5 miles turned into 3 because I was encouraging my 6-yr-old to finish the 5K instead of quitting. But it was totally worth it to see him do it! This week my IT band AND shins are still killing me, so I’m shooting for 18, but may do more yoga and stretching and less running this week. Boo.
Kelsey says
I am hoping to do at least one Zumba and one yoga class this week. I’ve missed them both!
Kailey says
my goal is to limit sugar and work out at least 3 times! Fingers crossed!
Laura says
My goals for the week is to go to the gym 5 days after work, and to drink 72 ounces of water day! Here goes! Hope I win the bars, they look like they’d be a good snack!
Lindsay says
Bad news: I jacked up my knee running Buffalo’s Turkey Trot. I started putting weight on it as of Monday but my new knee brace is my new best friend. So sadly no runs this week – so disappointed. 20 miles short too 🙁
Krissy says
I have already met my goal of 60 miles! I’m just adding to it now. I think I may even hit 80 miles by the end of the week. That leaves me pretty happy!
Daphne says
For the rest of the week, I plan to run 3 days, take 1 Crossfit class, and 1 yoga class.
Heather @ passthedressing says
Honestly, I just want to get on the horse and do something active every day this week. Good start with Zumba yesterday and a 2.5 mile run today!
Gigi says
I am not even close to my goal…ugh! Between Sandy kicking our asses and the mess after then getting sick November has not been my best month! But it is almost over and there is another right around the corner…my goal is to finish out the year strong!
Tabatha Rhodes says
I thought you had a really cool pedicure with gold polish and french tips….then I looked closer and they really are blue. Your toes are talented!
Denise P. says
My goals are to get back on track with consistent workouts. I have really been slacking on ST lately, so that will be my main focus this week. I don’t have another scheduled race until March (something must be wrong with me), so I’ll be putting less emphasis on getting runs in and more on doing other workouts to make me more well-rounded.
Laura says
My goal — to strengthen (and harden :)) my core! I’ve got the daily exercise part down.. It’s the discipline in the kitchen that needs a little work!
Heidi C says
For the month of November my husband and I are having our own version of a “Pile on the Miles” contest. We are seeing who can run the most miles… he has to paint our powder room if I win 🙂 I am currently ahead by 9.5, so my goal for the rest of the week (until November ends) is to get another 15 in!
Allison W. says
2 days strength train, 3 days run!
Lauren says
I have a very hectic week going so my goals are to get three runs in, and walk instead of drive everywhere I possibly can. Except for to McDonald’s. I’ll make another goal of not going to McDonald’s.
Tiffany says
My goal is to listen to my body and give it rest when I need it. But if I’m feeling great, I’m aiming for 20 miles this week.
TiffanyS says
One session of bootcamp, 2-3 CrossFit’s, 1 hour spinning, and 2 hour endurance spinning. It is buttcold here in MN, so taking my running to indoors crosstraining options. Also, lots of walking on my work breaks, on a treadmill of course unless it warms up.
Liz says
My goal for this is to walk everyday, and do 3 outdoor runs (and it’s snowing here).
Brittney says
My goal for this week is 20 miles, that should get me to my final goal of 95 miles this month!
Shani says
My goal is to finish my last week of Insanity!
Diane says
I want to get my final 11 miles in this week
Margie Visnick says
This week, the hubs and I are doing some remodeling, so there will be heavy lifting and sheer exhaustion, but I hope to squeeze in at least one or two workouts or runs!
tempesst says
my goal is to work out at 3-4 times a week and not let the stress of finals get to me!
Marie says
My goal this week is to get my last 5 miles in. I am not a natural runner and this has been a great challenge for me. I walked more than I wanted but I am 5 miles away from my goal. (50 miles)
I worked out yesterday and hope to hit the gym tonight and Saturday. I always try for Thursday but life gets in the way. I think I will focus on elliptical so my legs will be very rested for my last run Saturday. I always do better when I let them rest.
Bridie says
I have done something to my calf, so I am not getting as many miles in as I’d hoped. But that always forces me to renew my relationships with strength training and the elliptical. My goal is to get some sort of workout in for an hour each day.
Alison says
Those Brooks are to die for! I want some!
My goal for this week is 20 miles with a little weights mixed in.
Heather says
12 miles this week to put me just over my goal for the month!
Melissa says
My main goal is to have even splits for the Rock N Roll Half Marathon in Vegas this weekend. I am very famous for going out too fast and dying by the end but I want to have an enjoyable experience and run even splits!
runnrjo says
I am doing the runners world challenge, so my goal is at least one mile every day!
Amy says
well, since I’m working 60hours this week, I’m going to try to be realistic-I ran 6miles on sunday, did tabata and body pump yesterday, and plan on spin today-maybe 15more miles of running? depending on the weather-and another spin class and boot camp…but that may be too much-at least the running will be the goal!
Isabel Howard says
Just found your site this week as I was figuring out the whole twitter thing. It has quickly become one of my faves! I just registered for my first marathon–the rock n roll Madrid Marathon in April. My goal this week is to stay focused on my training plan and find a good book to start figuring out my nutrition. Hope you can salvage some toenails!
Suzanne says
My goals had to be altered this month for sure but it is no excuse! I need to start exercising more-even if I can’t run as much! Thanks for the reminder 🙂
Lindsey says
My goal this week is to make all of my 3 Crossfit classes at my local box. I usually am only able to commit to one or two depending on my schedule, but I signed up for three and plan to go to all of them!
Susan says
I want to get my booty to the gym 6 times this week… already been twice!
Sue says
Hoping to tackle the heaviest weight load during strength training; yesterday’s shoulder and delts session was a killer.

My goal is to run at least 1.5 hrs everyday this week!!
jenni says
To run faster! Feel like I’ve been “jogging” lately…..need to step up the pace.

Gabrielle says
At least 15 miles running (again, healing ITB permitting….) plus whatever miles I walk to/from work because the bus is full….hopefully some swimming etc too!

My weekly goal is 25 miles! Let’s finish this monthly goal strong!!!!
Steph @ Steph Stays Slim says
I love the funny pics you post! And the cable man pic…winner! What a flattering angle, haha!
My biggest goal for these next 5 weeks leading up to Christmas is to just stay on track with eating right and working out. I’m not trying to make any big changes to my routine during the holidays, just keep to what I’ve got going. Come January I’ll re-evaluate like everyone else in America 🙂
MaryBeth says
My goal is 9! It’s been a rough month for running and I’m nowhere near my goal but I hope to get a few shorter runs in this week!
Karen says
20 miles is my goal this week! I managed 15 over thanksgiving, so with a full week available, I know I can do it!

Jean says
Not interested in winning the giveaway, just wanted to say that those shoes are so trippy!!! I think it’s the lacing system?
sarah @ Sedwick Studio says
My foot has been hurting, but I still have about 20 miles on tap for the week to hit my POTM goal. This may include some evening treadmill time, not my fave, but I’ve enjoyed POTM!
Lindsay H says

Angelle says

Amber K says
Not an entry (feel free to give it to someone who really, really wants it!) But I have to say that the “dear extra fat” cartoon made me LOL. I want to change boobs to butt though. If I could just shift my extra fat to that region I might actually be proportionate 😉

Since this is the week of my half (RnR Las Vegas) I’m tapering but getting in a few 3 mile runs and then some shorties once I get to Vegas. I don’t think that I will make my monthly goal but I feel good about the miles that I did put in.
Margaret B says
I met my 100 mile goal for POTM but I’d still like to get 20 miles in by Friday… I would also like to get back at the strength training. Weights have fallen by the side lately….

Jacqui says

Monica says
Lots of ab exercises and yoga stretches!

This week is tough after coming off a slow week. I’m hoping to hit 35 miles this week – a little lower than I would like but compared to last week, it’s great!
Jen @ ConcreteNCoffee says
I just ran a half, so my goal this week is to get right back to tempo and speed runs as I work toward dropping my goal race pace for a 15K in January and my leg of a marathon relay in March!
Joanne says
2 days of yoga and hit up the rock climbing wall!
Abbey says
Planning on about 10 miles this week, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it without my Saturday run.
Erica says
Love those shoes!
And I’m so excited (and kind of surprised!) that I have wayyy surpassed my POTM goals this month! I wasn’t sure what I would be able to do immediately post-bilateral mastectomy, but even though I can’t run (boo-hoo 🙁 ), I am finding some missing endorphins by walking! I go for a good fast walk almost every day, and I feel great. I am so excited I’ve been able to participate and feel great walking this month!

Go to yoga! I usually only have time to go on Saturdays, but I’d like to prioritize this and go early one morning 🙂

Erin says
Take it easy with a few easy 4 mile runs and lots of yoga and swimming.
Tara says
To make it to YOGA!
Nicole says
I really need to get back into strength training. I’ve seriously let it lapse over the last couple of weeks.

Rebecca says
My goal is to try out some classes at my school’s gym!
Cellabella says
My goal is to strength train at least twice a week, even if it’s just 10 minutes with weights. Better than nothing! I find it helps balance out my running so hopefully I’ll keep it up.

My goal is 6 days of good solid workouts and one day of rest.

Good luck to everyone in POTM!
kathleenbean says
this week my goal is to hit the boxing gym 3 more times and pile on the last few miles.. trying to get up to 6 at time.

Anna Akin says
Goal for the week is to do three days of strength training. I love cardio too much 🙂
Sandy says
My goal is 26 miles this week which would mean that I doubled my goal!!

I need 8.3 miles to meet my POTM goal, so that is my goal this week.
Courtney says
I’m taking it WAY easy this week and recovering from my marathon yesterday. Love the kicks! 🙂
Traci L says

Wendy says
I have 40 miles scheduled for this week with 2 semi long runs on Tues and Thurs. I start my runs at 4:30-5pm and why does this time change make me feel like I’m finishing at 8pm even though it’s only 5:45pm?!
Andrea M says
I hurt my IT band in Sept. My goal: come back and pass my PR! 🙂
nicole @ its about the journey not the destination says
3 days of lifting weights, 3x run/walking (3 miles each) and one day of yoga! Thanksgiving Detox for sure.
Solana Klassen says
I hit my goal of 110 miles last week, and am working towards a new goal of 130 miles! Woo hoo!
Melody says
Keep with my running schedule and get yoga in!
kristen says
My goal is to get some speedwork in!
Laura says
My weekly goal is to be active for 5 days this week. Ilet myself skip last week and an falling that long unhealthy weekend affecting me. Time to get back on track!
Natalie @ Free Range Human says
My overall goal for the month was 150, and I am currently at 120. I really think I can hit it this week!
Sara says
My goal is 24 miles, which is what my training plan for the Little Rock Marathon calls for. Oh, and I need to fit in some strength training too, since I’ve been slacking on that front.
Stephanie says
My goal was 130 and I am at 121. I plan on running Tues-Sat this week so I know I will reach my goal.
Ashley says
I wanted to get 3-4 runs in this week, but my right quad has been giving me troubles, and I don’t want to make it worse 🙁 not sure I will make my goal!
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
I already hit my POTM goal – I guess I underestimated myself! This week I would like it to get in 5-8 miles!
Jacqueline says
My goal for this week is to try something new! I have my eye on a kickboxing class later this week to jump-start my exercise routine! 🙂
Leah says
So I only got in 4 miles last week. That is so sad. I need 25.8 this week to hit my month goal. I could do it, but I don’t know how. My longest distance is 3.1 and thats hard everyday. I can’t run tonight b/c I have a meeting at church, it will be dark by the time I leave, and the gym will already be closed. I can’t run Wednesday night either b/c I’m helping with the childrens program practice. That means I have to run 8.6 miles Tues/Thurs/Fri. That isn’t too hard for someone like Monica or SkinnyRunner or HungryRunnerGirl, but this girl won’t be able to. So I will have to just make do with what I can do. 🙂 Thanks for the constant encouragement M!
runeatrepeat says
Don’t compare yourself to those bloggers – they’re crazy 😉 Do your thing girl! We all just do our best.
Leah says
LOL! Crazy and crazy good! I just love reading about all of you gals doing your crazy stack of miles. I’m super pumped to be able to do 3 miles, at a time, AND repeat it multiple times per week. Just a few months ago i couldn’t run 100 yards.
Jodi says
While they are awesome runners and I wish I was as kick ass as Monica and the rest, look how often Skinny Runner and Monica post about just going for a walk. And I know HungryRunnerGirl does a lot too but I have even seen her post about skipping a workout just to hold her sleeping baby. It’s a good reminder than even the best of the best take it easy some days and ANYTHING is better than nothing. 3 miles is still 3 miles more than if you do nothing and 3 miles more than the person who has never even started! 🙂
Tara says
Survive the week? I’m really dreading two things: hills on Wednesday (anyone have an alternative?) and my long run of 13 on Saturday. I haven’t been much over 10 since August. :/
Val says
My goals are to continue going to the gym at least 4 times a week and getting back to the local running club one evening.
Katie says
At Least 5 miles a day. That would make me happy.
Meredith says
I only have 15 miles left to reach my monthly goal, but I think I’m going to try to get over 30 miles this week!
Amy says
Get in all my runs and do 3 days of strength. I will do my strength training, I will do my strength training, I will do my strength training, I will do my strength training, I will do my strength training………..
Nicole says
I just want to be motivated enough to get to the gym pre-dawn! Is that enough of a goal?
Kristen says
39 miles so I can hit my monthly goal of 140.
Christine says
My goal is to get in some cardio as well as strength training without aggravating my sensitive knee.
Erin says
My goal is to run at least 3X and do at least 2 strength/toning sessions
Kat says
My goal is to try a couple new classes at the yoga studio and keep running everyday!
Megan S. says
I am 2 miles from goal and am definitely going to surpass it, which is an awesome feeling!
Jodi says
At least 20 miles this week, hoping for 25 to put me over 100 for the month. My goal was 75 and I already passed that. Got started with 4 1/2 this morning.
Melissa J says
My goal for this week is to REST and not run as much as I want to. I am mid-taper for the Dallas Marathon 12/9, my replacement marathon for NYC.
Jessica says
My goal is 16 miles this week – I think I’ll reach my monthly goal!
Asiana says
I plan on hitting the gym 3 times this week. Mon & Fri: 60 mins cardio + strength, Wed: 90 mins cardio.
Ellie says
I just signed up for a spring marathon so goals include base building and strength training over the cold long winter.
Jennifer Shaw says
My goal is 14 miles. I want to get it all in before we take the fam to Disneyland for my birthday. Family fun!
Joyce says
I’ve been seriously slacking on strength training because for some strange reason, it is way easier for me to motivate myself to run in the cold than to drive to the gym in the cold. I know, it makes no sense. So my goal is to suck it up and get to the gym to put some meat back on my chicken arms.
Caitlin F. says
I started at CorePower Yoga November 1st & my goal has been to attend 4 classes/week. I’ve already noticed a huge difference in my strength & flexibility. I’m hooked.
Sarah says
My workout this week: the final few runs of tapering and then my last marathon of 2012! RnRLV, here I come!
Caroline says
Hard to believe but I already hit my goal! I’m going to try and continue with a 15 mile week…we’ll see how that goes
Melissa says
it’s a step back week for me on my marathon training plan (yay for only 13 miles this weekend!) and I’m travelling for work all week, so I’m hoping to get in some hotel gym action…
Semuteh says
My goal is to run ~20 miles this week to stay on track for 100miles by the new year. I plan to alternate running days with some conditioning (Jillian Michael’s DVDs).
Kylee says
I aim to do 2 days of tabata, 3 days of strength, and a few easy cardio days.
Ginger says
My workout goals this week
1. Run at least 12 miles
2. Go to Abs class
3. Do CrossFit workout at home at least once
4. Win Chia Warrior box 😉
Deniz says
Trying to hit 20 miles this week. Looks like it might be easier than I thought. I put my name on the waiting list for the rehoboth 1/2 and was just notified that a spot opened up!
Belinda M. says
This week’s workout goals…to run each day previously planned. 4 miles Mon-Thurs and 6 on Saturday. I’ve missed my running goals rhe past few weeks. :/
April Ockerman says
My goal for this week is at least 15 miles. I know I can do it, I just want to push myself and get to the 60 mile goal I had in the beginning. I would love it if I could surpass that goal, but we will see 🙂
Amy H. @ Run with Perseverance says
My POTM goal for this week is to finish with 20 miles for the week. I’ve already got 6.5 in yesterday, and I’m running a 10k on Saturday. It’s going to happen 🙂
As for workout goals, I want to run 3 more times this week and do 3 strength sessions at the gym.
Lena says
My goals for the week are 4 Yoga sessions, 4 Group X classes, at home workouts and walking/running.
Katie says
My goal is to show up! I’ve found that’s the hardest part of any work out.
Kristen L says
Love the color on those Brooks shoes! I’m tapering for the full at RnR Las Vegas, so my workout goals this week are to do one slow short run, and at least one day of yoga. So pumped for my first marathon!
Jennifer says
Goals for the week: 1 HIIT cardio workout, 2 steady state cardio workouts, and at least 2 strength workouts. Have to get back in gear after eating an entire pumpkin roll by myself over the Thanksgiving weekend!
Kaysee says
I hit my goal last week! I want to run at least a mile everyday this week. I also want to plank at least three days! POTM has been great! Thanks for the motivation!
Socal Rachel says
Workout goal this week: start half marathon training. Haven’t been motivated to run, so it won’t be as easy as I hoped.
Paige says
bahaha, I love that you took a picture of the TV repair man. 🙂
Kelsey Y. says
Goal: to reach my 100 miles. I only have about 50 to go, and while it is daunting to think about how I am going to get there, I think I can do it. I’m planning a few runs, and a few walks this week, and Jillian Michaels KickBox FastFix to keep me feeling strong! Chia bars?! I’d love to try them!
Tina @ Best Body Fitness says
Ohhh love the pureflows color! I adore my PureFlows. I’m blanking – do you wear yours on all runs? If so, how long did it take you to build into them? I’m so wanting to do all my runs in mine but my ankles keep telling me “not yet”.
Angela @ Honey, I Shrunk the Mom says
I’ve got to get in 24.3 to reach my goal! eek! That is a lot for me. But I’m determined to get er’ done!
Connie says
I have 12 more miles to meet my POTM goal by Saturday – I had to take today off, I did 10 miles over the last 3 days and am a little sore. Next Sunday I start Slim in 6 – stupid time of the year but why not I’m hoping to try to still walk a min 40-50 miles a month too now that I’m kind of into it. Good times!!!
Rachel@Running Daze says
I would like to get at least 2-3 weight sessions in before i leave for Philadelphia on Friday!
That boob cartoon is hilarious!!
Kara D says
I plan to run Monday, Wednesday and Sunday, and hit the gym the other days!

I recently bought a pair of Brooks Pure Flows because they were on sale, but SOOOO glad I did because I think they are my running sole mates!! I’ve had other shoes that I liked but nothing compared to how much I love these!!! I need ones in every color!! I’m almost to my goal for the challenge so gonna see how much OVER my goal I can get!!!!
Christine says
My goal is to get in more walking in addition to my running. Ive been slacking on the walking but it makes me feel better after ive been sitting in class all day. Shooting for 25 running miles this week
Erin1619 says
my goal is to make it to 3 yoga classes this week- too much cardio and weights makes me sooo stiff and i notice a huge difference when i go to yoga regularly.
Nikki says
My workout goals for this week include not looking at my Garmin so much during my run! Hope I win that looks YUM
Sarah Z says
I’m really hoping to get close to my goal of 35 miles, but I don’t want to inflame my shin so I’ll make a goal of coming close and hopefully running 10 this week!
Ashley says
I’m doing some light strength training this week and hoping to get in my last 10 to hit my goal of 100 miles!
Lauren says
I’ve already mapped out all my workouts for this week. Goals include two strength classes, 4 days of running and swim workout.
Holly says
3 strength training days and two days of running without intensifying my hamstring injury that popped back up…
Tara says
Haa, Love the ‘boobs or GTFO’ if only it could work!
This week I am taking a boxing/bootcamp class with my sister, meeting friends before work to run 5miles and getting my husband out for a 3-5 mile run to start his half training! Whoohooo! so excited for all this!
Jen says
My goal is to get all my runs in… 14 miles. Then I get to taper for Santa to the Sea!!!
Amy says
I didn’t come near the mileage goal I set for myself this month, but I’m happy I was able to get out at all. My goal this week is 10 miles; we’re getting kind of hammered with snow and rotten weather up here.
Jory says
I am so close to my goal that I could take all but two days off running for the week and be good to go! But I’m all about breaking things, like boundaries and rules, so I’m going for broke!
Anna Catherine says
I had hoped for 100, but that’s not going to happen. This morning’s walk/run put me over 70. But I did finish my first half marathon this month, and that was huge! Now my knee is all out of whack, which makes me want to cry huge buckets of tears, grrrr.
Monica, thanks for the suggestion on searching on physical therapy. I found some posts. I think I may just have to suck it up, go to the doc, and have him tell me to go to therapy 🙁
Gabrielle says
So far from my initial goal 🙁 it’s getting so cold here and I hate running on a threadmill…my initial goal was 40 miles, i’m at 22.8, i’ll definitely try to get to 40 but im doubtful!
My realistic goal is more 10-15 miles of running and 2-3 strenght session with some yoga thrown in!
TorontoRunner says
baaaahahaha I love that picture – the extra fat seriously needs to find its way to my boobs!
My feet are hoooorrendous. It’s taking such a beating from running!
Debbie says
I’m already past my goal for POTM (woohoo!) but my goals for this week are 20 miles, 2 days of strength training, and to fit in at least one good yoga session.
Alyssa Houtby says
15 miles to go for POTM! My goal this week – Run 25 miles, R.I.P.P.E.D class Mon, Tues, and Thurs after work (awesome group workout class, check it out @ rippedplanet.com!) and take H.I.I.T class on Saturday! Thanks for your encouragement! POTM really helped me stay accountable for my workouts, and it is such a great feeling knowing that I am in reach of my goal! 🙂
Stacey says
At this point I would be happy to not be sick and workout more than once a week.
laura says
It’s been a great month for mileage for me.
Melissa @ The Melissa Chronicles says
Those motivation pics are hilarious! I have 30 miles on the books for this week, but we’ll see. My foot decided to cripple me this weekend. Putting on socks and wearing my shoes hurts the top of my foot right where my sock meets my ankle. 🙁 Oddly enough, it felt ok barefoot in my Cadence, so I knocked out a couple of miles yesterday.
Goals: At least 3 weight training workouts, roll/stretch daily, and hope to hit 30.
Jessica says
I have a 4 month old so my goal is to not go more than 2 days without a workout! 🙂
Victoria says
I’m 17 miles away and so excited! It’s been a great month for mileage for me. 🙂 I would like to run 30 total this week, so hopefully I’ll be hitting my goal for the month midweek!
Catherine B says
I need to RUN this Week!!!!!!!
Mary says
my workout goals for the week are to just get moving. ive been taking it easy bc ive been feeling under the weather for what seems like forever (darn cold) but i am feeling like i may be able to start picking up a little bit.
Krystina says
I am about 5 miles shy of my goal, so I definitely plan on exceeding my initial goal. I have a long run planned for Saturday, so I plan on getting at least 15 miles in before then.
Lizzie says
I want to get 10 more miles in this week!
Aly says
My goal is to meet my POTM goal!! I’m not training for anything, so motivation is waning.
Coach [email protected] says
My goals are to detox from Thanksgiving weekend so I can retox in Vegas for the Rock ‘n Roll Marathon. Yep, I signed up for the full. I need a long run before the Goofy Challenge in Jan. Looking forward to hanging out with you and Ben? this weekend. I arrive Saturday around 6 PM. We are staying at the Wynn.
runeatrepeat says
The full?! You better still be ready to party! When did you get in for the Goofy Challenge? I thought it was sold out 🙁
Leah says
My goal is to get outside for a workout at least once (it’s currently 5 degrees here) and hit the gym every day that I don’t get outside.
Melissa says
Hoping to fit in a nice 8 mile run in the mix of my usual 4 miles in the evenings. As well, do a bit of strength training (60 minutes of butterfly at swim practice yesterday informed me my arms are in serious need of weights). 😀 Also, I’m only 11 miles away from my POTM goal!!! Considering I was gone two of the weekends this month I’m pretty happy about that 🙂
Krissy says
I’ve met my 100 mile goal already–looking forward to crushing it in the next 6 days 😀
Joanna @ Running Places says
Ohh I’ve been wanting to try these bars! My goal this week is just to keep running!
Prof. Kitty says
My goal is 11 miles this week. I already have 4 down–woohoo! Thanks so much for POTM, it is the perfect capper to my running season before I head onto the treadmill for the winter.
Shannon B. says
Miles, running and walking. I didn’t count my “shopping” walking miles last week, so I fell a little short. Hopefully I can pick it up this week and still make my monthly goal!!! Totally agree those shoes look awesome!
Kathy says
Goals for this week : stop the eating….get more strength in my workouts!! I feel the need to be stronger so hopefully I will be less injured (but I think my hip will always be an ache in my side…truly)
Kaitlin says
My workout goal for this week is to switch things up! I’m getting bored with my usual cardio/strength routine
Kate says
I am loving my first POTM challenge! My goals this week are to keep running (another 5 miles will have me above my POTM goal and I plan to slaughter it!), get to two yoga classes, and pump that iron. I’ve started working on my abs to help combat side aches (which I get aaall tha time), so I’ll be doing crunches to the max!
Crystal says
11.4 for this week will get me to my monthly goal! It’s much higher than I’ve done the past few weeks, but should be do-able!
Elizabeth J. says
walk 4 days at lunch, run 2 mornings
Phyllis says
I had a great week this week and I want to end this challenge strong.
Deborah says
Ha ha my toes can relate to your toes! I never got a bruised toenail or blister on my foot during any of my long training runs. I run a marathon and my one baby toe is encased in a blister and my other baby toe is bruised to all heck! Very strange. Anyhoo, I surpassed my mileage last week and hope to hit 18 miles this week to meet my overall goal of 100 miles!
Carolyn C. says
I would love to try to do two miles a day this week!
Caroline says
I love pile on the miles, and I’ve already passed my identified mileage goal for the challenge! My goal for this week is to move in some way every day and to do planks every day but one!
Nicole says
At least 3 strength training workouts this week!
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More says
This week I want 6 miles (walking), preferably on a new trail.
Emma says
Weights at least 2 times this week!

With the holidays and college finals coming up, my goal is to complete three workouts this week–much needed me time.
simone says
at least 3 outdoor runs this week and 3 gym strength training sessions 🙂
