Hello! I had a fun Saturday running and eatin’ and all that…
I’m headed to Palm Springs for a party and wanted to check in first. I currently look like a complete mess in a dress since I decided to try these big air roller things. My hair would NOT stay curled in Vegas last weekend so I’m attempting to give it a little push. I was about to take them out to go to my mom’s and then I realized I should just wear them on the drive.
But then I had to get gas. Like this:
Oh well, I just want to have fun.
So my favorite blogger in the world Tina from Carrot N Cake tagged me in a fun survey –

Question: What is your Pile on the Miles goal for this week?
Did you workout today?
I am probably resting…
Oops! Forgot to comment on this post… Goal: move every day!
This week I need to get 3 runs in & at least 1 weight training session. One run down so far!
Goal for the week is to run a 5ml turkey trot (without dying)
3 workouts would be awesome.
My goals are to work out every day- 5 days this week
My goals are to get 3 runs in this week. Did a 5k Sunday.
Goals this week: 2 yoga classes, 3 long walks (3miles) , 1 weight night – I’m on the recovery from pneumonia but I think getting active this week will help me feel stronger. Hot yoga tonight!
Hoping to get in two interval runs, one long distance run and maybe a Zumba class this week.
My goal this week is to move every day, and I’m not talking from the couch to the fridge. I’m bringing my running shoes to the family thanksgiving weekend festivities. I’m gonna run or walk that food off!
This week’s goals are again 4 days of hip/hamstring exercises plus my usual 5-6 days of cardio, and 3-4 days of weights. Let’s do this!
Rest day today. Next week’s goal is 55 miles.
10k steps per day. With 4 days of running those days are a given. So I’ll make sure my Black Friday Shopping isn’t a run day that takes care of day 5. The others I’ll just have to walk.
I struggled through a boot camp class #toomanybloodymarys
After throwing a birthday party for my daughter on Saturday, I did 13.1 miles on Sunday! My own little unofficial half marathon! My goals for the week are 5 on Tuesday, 3.1 with my son on Thursday, and 14 on Saturday or Sunday. A total of 22 miles for the week!
So I’m way behind on posting. Let’s see- Thurs was rest. Fri ran 7 mi. Sat & Sun turned into rest days because I’ve been sick 🙁 Hopefully today I can get 7-8 in and some abs!
Rest day for me (travel day). This week is the Turkey Trot, so I’m winding down for that.
I love this post idea. I might be snagging this for my blog. I have the Atlanta Half Marathon this week! Woohoo!
I ran 5 miles in the rain!
I got a walk in Sunday. My goals for Thanksgiving week is to get a walk in 5 days and to keep up with my PT program (including the rest) so that I can get better (I need to keep telling myself that….)
Sunday was beautiful in the amazing state of South Dakota! Almost 40 degrees! We ran 6.25 miles and it felt great!
I’m hoping to run 35-40 miles this week. Started Sunday off with 6 miles.
45 Minute walk with my dog and then a 30 minute Kettlebell workout in my basement!
Goal: Kill it at my Thanksgiving day race!
It’s a shockingly warm day here in MD so I’m hoping to get 4 miles in at lunch today!!
Heading to Florida for Thanksgiving, so today is a travel day. My goal this week is to not go crazy and to stay moving. Hoping to do 15 this week.
Goal this week- run 3x, spin 1x, PiYo 1x and pump 1x. Let’s do it!
Goal this week is thirty miles.
Last week….BOOOOOO!!!! Loved doing this again this year 🙂 My goal is to not eat myself into oblivion and run/wog at least 3 xs/week. I’m hopeful! Happy Thanksgiving!
Ran another 6+ miles yesterday to make up for my ONLY 6 miles on Saturday. This week I hope to run at least 24 miles to make my goal of 100 miles this month!
Couldn’t run outside Sunday since it rained all day but did a cross fit workout this morning at the y.
This week is 3miles 2 days; boot camp ( if gym is open Wed.) Lots of walking on our trip to Portmouth NH, and PiYo 2days. And always….daily walks with the pups!
I did an hour of spinning 11/23 and then went to see Mockingjay with my 2 older boys. 11/22 I did a 5K Turkey trot with the family.
Sunday is for pilates! Plan for the week: try to run as much as I can in order to reach my unreachable goal, 100km. I’m at 62 now, Let’s see…
Today is a rest day. Shooting to run 4 days this week. And take a few barre classes.
got a nice looooong walk in this morning.
I went to the rec center at my college and did 45 minutes of cardio (stairclimber/running) with some abs and stretching at the end. Good stuff! I got new shoes as well and it felt a lot better.
6.5 miles today…..planned my mileage so I could end at Starbucks, Sunday mornings call for lattes.
Going to get in 3 more runs this week…ran 3.5 miles this morning 🙂
5k plus a yoga class today! Goal is 4 days of running this week!
Yup, cross training day – Mondays are always cross training days after the weekend’s runs. Today was chest & pec strength training………………………………………………………………….at 6am. I need a life! 😛
I went to a Level 2 yoga class this morning. I tried to do a side crow pose but did not quite make it. I did get a nice oblique work out though!
yep ! 13.5 miles which is the longest i’ve run in over a month… i have a feeling i’ll be sore tomorrow…my goal is to do a local half early thanksgiving day and lots of stretching and yoga between now and then 🙂
My goal this week is to run every day! Today was 11 muddy trail miles. It was fun, but the mud stuck to our shoes like clay so it was like having ankle weights on!
I got tagged in this one too! It’s so much fun!
Ran 3 miles tonight. My goal for the week is 30 miles.
My goal is to run 35 miles this week and eat a LOT of turkey!
It’s the home stretch, and so far I’ve hit all my goals (at least 30 min exercise a day and at least 25 miles a week). Today I ran 12 miles!
Got to the pool today for a swim workout. This week I’m planning on doing PiYo 5 days and swimming only once since the college pool will be closed for break.
Rest day today. Hoping to get in 20 miles this week.
My goal for the week is to maintain training plan schedule all while managing gorging myself on Thanksgiving deliciousness. 🙂
So I have to confess I can’t remember the last time I checked in – I think I tried when the site was down, and then the weekend got away from me. But I did what I set out to do last week! 7km run on Friday (although I cut it short – I wanted to do 8.5-ish, but my knee started hurting), Rest Day on Saturday, then a long run (for me at the moment) of 12km on Sunday morning.
This week is about getting back into the routine. Started well with about an hour of weights that has ALREADY made me sore … I could be in some pain tomorrow, but it will be oh, so good pain!
This week: turkey trot 5k and getting back on the trails. At least one spin class
I was one day shy of meeting my running goal last week (run 4-5 days), thanks to a stomach bug. Yuck. I only strength trained 1 day and I intended to 2-3 times. Darn sickness.
This week’s goal is the same as last! Run 4-5 days and strength train 2-3 times. Looking forward to a great week and some time off from work 🙂
Finished my goal for the week, also ran 3 miles today and walked the dog for an hour. Goal this week is to run 11 miles (to make my monthly goal) make it to Pilates and yoga as well as eat clean!
ran 7 miles this morning. when i woke up, i felt like being lazy and not running. i knew it was going to be “warm” (60’s) so i wasn’t really looking forward to it. thought that i could just add today’s 7 to tomorrow’s 3 and do 10 tomorrow. but, as soon as i got out of bed i automatically started getting ready to run…YAY!
This week isn’t going to be as intense due to the holidays. I hope to get at least 45 min of cardio every day including Thanksgiving.
My goal is to run 25 miles, with at least 1 run of > 8 miles. I must start building mileage back up after my Marathon…
I got in 1 hour on the Stairmaster at the gym this morning-what a killer workout! My goal for this week is to run 25 miles and to go to a Body Pump class twice this week including a class on Thanksgiving. Gotta make some room in my tummy for all of the eating! 🙂
It was a balmy 50 out 5 miles outside finally!
My goal is to be active every day and get 25 miles in. I am going to need it after feasting hard on Thursday!
5 miles of hills today for me.
Rest day!
Rest day today. I didn’t complete all my miles last week. I’m going to make up my missed miles tomorrow!!
10,000 steps per day!
I love the big curls! My goal this week is to run 20 miles total!!!! I’ve got my coldgear ready!!
Sunday long run .. 16 km
“Because I Said So” is toootally one of my secret faves. I got it for my mom for Christmas one year — not because she is a control freak or ever bothered me about my relationship status, but because I just loved the mother-daughter relationship in it.
I got in my 7.5 miles today, although it was tough after yesterday’s 400 repeats AND in this weird, unseasonal humidity we’re having. FLORIDA.
My goal is to try to get at least 9 miles in this week. I’ve been out three days because my foot and leg started acting up again. :-/ If I can’t, I’m hoping I can get myself to do some yoga or other workout.
Rest day. I have a strong desire to scrap all my to-dos and just laze about and doing nothing productive. I think this is what I’ll do. 🙂
I love this idea. I might just do this post on my blog!
Going for 30 miles this week, including a turkey trout! Can’t wait!
This is usually a rest day for me, but I took my first ever Pure Barre class today. 55 minutes of awkward, small pelvic movements never felt more profound.
My goal for the week is to work out at least 3 times! Two Crossfit, one long run. Hopefully I can not only meet, but exceed that goal!
Do you live in the OC?? You should be a real housewife of the OC haha 🙂 you would be great entertainment!
Cross trained today. Planning a run tomorrow before work, and goals are to work out T-W-TH and turkey trot saturday

No workout yesterday. Goal for this week is to work out 4 times. Went to the gym this morning and did BodyPump
Due to some lingering soreness, I’m scrapping the plan to get back to running short mileage this week, and will focus on light cross training instead. I’m shooting for four workout days next week.
I rested today. Up for another goal of 4 workouts this week and excited for one of those to be a turkey trot on Thanksgiving!
Goals: running intervals x2, 2 sessions of strength-training PT at 80 mins each, and not eating my weight in Thanksgiving dessert
