Hello! It’s the last week of Pile on the Miles! You have to hit your goal this week because:
A.) It’s your last chance.
B.) We’re all counting on you.
C.) You promised (yourself).
D.) You don’t want to pile on pounds this week!
Leave your goal below and get to it!
Eat:
Now let’s back up to last night I made fajitas because:
A.) The veggies were on sale and onions were precut
B.) I’m Mexican.
C.) I like fajitas
D.) Corn tortillas come in packs of 1.4 million so you have to incorporate them in every meal.
Run:
This morning I hit the pavement for a long run. I really have felt the need for more recovery since the Revel Marathon. I wasn’t trained for a full marathon so I have needed A LOT more time to recover. I should have taken an ice bath too. Lesson learned.
I took some Ricola as fuel because I like them. Is that weird? I eat them during runs and sometimes randomly. (If menthol is bad for you I don’t want to know. I don’t care and will continue to eat them.)
I tried to do some crunches yesterday but Vegas likes me with a belly so he interfered.

I’ve been absolutely horrible at checking in, but I’m piling the miles! I hit 100 miles for the month over the weekend – my goal is to finish out the month by running every day and hit my 150 mile goal. I’m on track for it!
Kate C says
My goal this week is 17.5 miles to finish up with a total of 50 this month! I got a late start as I was on vacation the first week of the challenge and only got in 4 miles. Kicked off the last week of the challenge yesterday with a 10k! Looking forward to my Turkey Trot 5k race Thanksgiving morning.

My goal for the week is to complete at least 10 miles so that I reach my over all goal of 48 miles by the end of the challenge.
Robyn says
Ok…I’ve not been doing stellar hitting my goals. Ugh! So…my goal this week is to be more consistent. I won’t be able to get to the gym so it will be running most of the week with only one day for strength. We are traveling for the holiday so I need to be very committed to running when we get to my brother’s house for the week. I can do this!
Amanda says
Goals for the week – 4 runs, 2 strength days, 1 rest/walk day
Abby says
I REALLY want to do two yoga practices. I’m feeling sore and stiff everywhere and want to make it through my half marathon injury free! No goal for mileage this week- just to get a few 3/4 miles in without knocking myself out for the 13.1! My body is definitely hanging in there!
Tracey says
My goal is to get in 30 miles and six workouts. I don’t anticipate any bike rides because the temperatures will be in the 40’s and that’s way too cold for me. I’m also getting in two yoga classes this week because, well flexibility and mobility are just as important.
Erin M. says
My goal is to get in 3 runs this week!
Rachel says
Same goal as ever – physio exercises every day and 4x walks this week. I hope the weather is kind to me!
Claudia says
Goal this week is at least 3 yoga clases and some strenght training (2-3 days)!

I have not been good at commenting but I have been piling on the miles! Goal for this week is 25 miles of running and two strength days! I did yoga today so I’m done with that for the week ( at least I hit my goal for it already…I could always do more).
Katherine says
This week kicked off with a successful 10k! I ran the whole way only stopping for water stations (which don’t count right!?) and plan to get 1-2 yoga classes and easy runs in this week for recovery!

I’m doing pretty good — Woo! I’ll hit my goal of 50 miles this month if I run 13.8, so I’m going to round up and shoot for 14 this week.

Holly says
Hello! Last week of POTM, yay! My goal every week has been to run 15 miles. While my good goal is to continue to run 15 miles this week, my super awesome goal would be to run 20! So, that’s what I’m going to shoot for. I also plan on incorporating morning walks with my dad into the mix, since that is such a nice way to start off the day 🙂 Good luck, everyone!
