Hello! How are you? Running? Eating? Repeating? Me: All.
I started the day with a 12 mile run that had 3 x 1 mile fast (for me) in the middle.
I got to run in gorgeous Florida along the gulf this morning. This never gets boring, I love it.
It was a great run but I couldn’t keep the lowest pace that CJ suggested. I was able to keep it in the range he suggested but was a little frustrated I couldn’t get it down more. He wanted me to aim for 7:15 – 7:30 per mile and I think they were mostly about 7:30 (Updated to note my splits: 7:34 / 7:30 / 7:28).
I can’t run fast unless I’m in a race and having a good day and running with a faster friend and not paying attention to the speed. ALL of those things need to happen at the same time and then maybe I’ll be a little faster.
There was a big water festival at the beach and tons of people around. There were a lot of signs luring you to Bloody Marys… It’s a breakfast drink, so it’s okay that it was 8am. Unfortunately that’s not really my jam so I just kept running…
Have you tried these Moon Drops Grapes? (We got them at Publix.)
I think they’re supposed to be in the shape of tear drops? But they look like purple baby carrots. They are super delicious. Which just goes to show that shape doesn’t matter?

Pile on the Miles Day 20
Hello! It’s the LAST week of Pile on the Miles. Are you in or in the way?
This week’s POTM challenge is sponsored by Timex. Today they are giving one RER reader the Timex IRONMAN Sleek 50 watch. I love the design and color, it doesn’t look like a straight up sport watch – so fancy!
You can get more info or buy the IRONMAN Sleek 50 here.

Question: What is your Pile on the Miles Check-in for today?

I’m obsessed with that watch!! Today was a 5 mile run with a total body strength training and tabata workout tacked on!
Happy Thanksgiving! Ran 3 miles today. Enjoy your day.
3 miles with my pup
Only had about 3 hours sleep last night and wasn’t able to fit in a run, so had to do a squat/lunge workout indoors with Pilates based abs and some triceps/biceps thrown in for good measure Tomorrow I look forward to logging some miles 🙂
Easy week!
I know what you mean about those views. I never tire of some of the many sights in London. When you’re having a shitty day and you’re exhausted and in a bad mood with the world, crossing Waterloo Bridge and seeing the London Eye, Houses of Parliament and Tower Bridge fills you with happiness! Well…not happiness in that moment, but at least some gratitude for the city.
Awesome run after the rains today!! Loved the clouds and the super clean air!! Did 11 miles! 🙂
11!
That watch is pretty! I took the weekend off form running…a little timing issues, cold weather, excuses…yeah!
I ran 4.1 miles inside since it was a blizzard outside! Looks nice in FL though!
Played in a 3v3 ultimate frisbee tournament on Saturday and had a game on Sunday.
Did a 5k benefiting an animal sanctuary. Since I love running and love animals – a perfect day.
A few miles after work today for me!
Today will be resting and stretching. Half marathon was yesterday.
I ran 5.5 miles this morning!
Today’s a rest day since I did 8 painful miles on Saturday as my long run! and because it also just snowed 5″
Sunday was a rest day for me, but I did get in about 30 minutes of foam rolling, which sometimes feels like a workout! Whew! Hurts so good.
No run today, boot camp 🙂
Yesterday I did a 2 mile run, then lots of walking.
Today, Monday, I did a 4 mile run, full body tabata class & swam for 30 min.
rest day!

Rest day… 3 miles behind on my goal. Going to have to add some extra this week
5 miles for me today!
30 minutes on the treadmill and 40 on the elliptical. Then, I took down a trampoline for the winter. That was the most exercise I’ve ever gotten on from the trampoline (it is for the kids, but seriously!).
company over today – will have to get run in tomorrow!
I did 5.5 miles on the treadmill. Oh and I shoveled a lot today..I think that counts too:-p
Monica!!! I signed up for my first half marathon today! Thank you for being so motivating!!!
I got 22,000 steps in today despite feeling lazy and unmotivated! I was on the elliptical this morning for a while- then walked on the treadmill for 2.4 miles. It’s cold in Chicago- so I will be in the gym a lot. I am still going to do some of my runs outside. I have plenty of cold weather running gear! Thanks, Monica!
Exciting!!! Good luck Amy!!!
Yesterday I ran 5 miles, so today was my rest day. I did get some Zumba in while I was prepping pancakes though.
Today was a yoga day. Feel energized for the week ahead
Rest Day Sunday!
Rest day today but I’ve been cleaning a to. and putting up Christmas decorations all day! Oh and I did walk the dog about 1.5 miles 🙂

Those grapes are bizarre!
Today was a scheduled rest day, much needed!
I did Fitnessista’s Fall 2016 treadmill workout – 3.75 miles, which brings me to 41 miles (my goal is 50 miles by run/walk/bike, and now I’m confident I’ll hit it!)
Rest day!
One mile in the pouring rain.
Today I did a power sculpt yoga class — more cardio than usual, it kicked my butt!!

5 miles today at the gym. 40 degrees and blustering winds is not my ideal outdoor running weather. Lol
I can’t believe it’s the last week! Only did 30 minutes on the bike today – starting to get a head cold
I don’t know if I could eat those grapes. They look too much like mini eggplant, and I hate eggplant. I broke my 40+ degree running rule and ran outside in the 32 degree weather. I just can’t make myself use the treadmill yet.
Core work and yoga. Rest day from running
Much needed rest day after a half marathon yesterday!
50 minute spin class today and a 20 minute walk to brunch

Orangetheory E/S/P workout at 8am (so I can go have a beer with my friends in the afternoon, which is when I originally was going to go).

I have a Timex Ironman and love it, but I would love an upgrade for sure
Today I’m still suffering from sinus meltdown, but the dogs and I walked 1.5 miles this morning and I raked up some leaves/dismantled the garden. I’m going grocery shopping later, and I’m going to hope that just being generally active, but not working out, doesn’t aggravate my sinuses any more.
Rest day for me.
9 miles on this super Sunday!
I ran 8km today!
Crossfit Endurance workout: 6 rounds 90 sec plank, 90 sec row, 90 sec bike.

Rest day for me. Maybe I’ll go for a nice walk:)
Love that watch! This morning did 6 easy miles after running 10 hard yesterday.
4 miles. Prayerfully I can get out of my own head. I have been delaying the run all morning. I have only been back to running for about 6 weeks after about a year off, and I am frustrated at my pace. I know these things take time, but sometimes I feel like if I can’t do it easy and quick, then I don’t want to do it 🙁 not good.
80 minutes on the elliptical.
Today is a walk with the fam before church!
Rest day for me today! Much deserved after dancing the night away at a family wedding!
I had and loved that watch, until the strap broke 🙁 Today is a recovery day with yoga and a swim!
Yoga and then a bike ride.
The glamorous life of a student left me with a paper due tonight! Going to be writing all dayour, working out tommo :'(
4 easy miles 🙂
hot yoga this morning
I ran 8 miles this morning and have hit my POTM goal of running 173.4 miles and my Run the Year goal of 2016 miles in 2016. WooHoo! I’ll revise my POTM goal to 200 miles, so I have a goal to work toward this week.
Way to go! Congrats!
This week i only got in 3 runs at 3 miles a pop. However I got 3 Spinnibg sessions in and a yoga class. This week should be better.
Yoga day! 🙂
I’m so excited I won!! Even though I am not able to run right now I’m hitting the gym hard. Yesterday was 25 min cardio and then arms. Friday did cardio and rock climbing. Today will be a “long run” day 🙂
Rest day…
Well yesterday was a 5k run and a 3 mile hike. Today I’m guessing my miles will be in the form of walking the mall! 🙂
We’re destined for snow today so I’m excited to pike on the winter gear and hit the road!
I’ll be incline-walking for an hour while I complete a practice GRE test!
