In case you don’t have a calendar, your computer somehow doesn’t have the date on the right hand side or you’re from the future and a time machine dropped you off here…
Today is November 30 = The last day of Pile on the Miles
So. Are you going to hit your goal or what?
I ran 20 miles today. I kinda feel like if you’re a mile or two away from goal you should stop reading this and go get it done.
After my run I went to the store and came back with the most random assortment of foods…
Watermelon. Obviously.
Ceviche and Tostitos.
This was from yesterday – gingerbread kettlecorn hello.
Popcorn is one of the best pre-run carb-loading foods. It’s science.
Today was GORGEOUS and I had a great run. Ahhhh. I needed that 
See? See how happy I am that I even took 3 minutes to put a filter over this picture. That’s dedication people.
Random, I’ve had that Bound song by Kanye on my ipod for the longest time. I know the video is kinda a joke (even to K & K they look so bored) but I dig it.
Question: What are you do for exercise this weekend?
Are you hitting your goal?
I passed my mileage goal for the month – I wanted to hit 48 miles and I came in at 54. Great challenge for November!!
I didn’t meet my time goal but I met the miles…so it’s kind of a win. 😉
Even with travelling and needing to take time off because of travelling I met and surpassed my weekly goal and my month goal of over 100 miles!
200 miles for november–planned for 180 so pretty pleased 🙂
Burning off the apple pie with some major miles !
Exceeded my goal! Total miles: 142! Original goal: 130 miles. Forgot to post on Saturday! Now I need a new way to push myself this month!
I missed my 130 miles goal by 5 miles 🙁
I’m happy with my month of workouts… I didn’t reach my goal because recovery of my tendonitis took longer than I thought. But I still got in over 120 miles for the month when I had 12 days off of running!
I got in a 12 miler on Thanksgiving, but due to a rough month only hit 39 miles – my goal was 75. December will be the month I hit it! 🙂
When I saw the nachos on the first page I knew I’d come to the right blog! And with the running miles you achieve, even a meal like that won’t be an issue! I’m older and it’s a lot harder to run off the nachos! Still, rune, eat, repeat will work for many of us! Have a great Xmas.
I hit my goal! I ran 112 miles in November to exceed my goal of 110. Got a little dicey at the end but got it done! Thanks for the challenge.
hit it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I achieved my POTM goal and then some. Thanks for the challenge! I’m suffering from burnout and it definitely helped me.
I didn’t get anywhere close to my goal. 🙁 I got sick and didn’t reach my goal. 🙁 I’m kinda bummed. But still happy that I at least ran a lot more than I was hoping if I didn’t do the challenge.
I can’t remember what I said my goal was but I ran Tuesday – Thursday, did the elliptical Friday – Sunday and even went to a power yoga class. Mission accomplished!
I hit my goals!
I made my goal, and then some. Considering my rehab and surgery, I’m very happy!
Did not reach my goal, but did get in 8 miles this week and a couple of classes.
Yes I hit my goal and ran a half marathon on thanksgiving:)
I hit my goal and did a turkey trot. So glad
For this motivation you gave with Piles on the Miles. Thanks!
reached my goal of 15 miles. i might carry my goal of 15 miles a week into december!
I had a PR on Thursday’s Turkey Trot (despite it being 25 degrees!), and then finished with 4 miles on the treadmill. I definitely kicked my goal’s butt with a PR and then a follow-up run. Win!
I ran 40 miles this week, and surpassed my goal each week. This challenge was great!
I made it woohoo!!!
Happy to report that I hit goal!
My goal was to hit forty miles for the month. I just checked my log and I hit 96.5. Um, yep. I guess I was sandbagging.
I hit my goal 🙂
With my Thanksgiving 10K I hit my goal of 40 miles ran this month! Woop woop!
Ran a half on Thanksgiving morning. Beat my goal by 9 minutes and hit my PR – finished the month at 104 miles… very pleased with everything this month!
I completed my goal, actually running a couple miles over my goal of 35. On a last minute whim, I ran the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. I ran it in 26 minutes, which was a personal record, so I was quite pleased.
Made it! This week will be more running and bootcamp!
I did it! I reached my 50 mile goal for November and just made a new one for December, 60 miles 🙂 I’m happy – it totally helps having a goal!
Set my goal of 12 for the week and hit 15.40 miles. My monthly goal was 40 miles for the month and I got in 58.13!! Thanks for the fun!
I hit it Thursday! Have you seen the Seth Rogan/James Franco version?
I got my miles in.
I pulled something in my neck so I’m sadly not hitting my goal (cue sad trombone). I took the extra time on my hand to plan/cook healthy dishes.
I surpassed my goal by 10 miles!! I set it low not knowing how the travel/weather would cooperate and I took advantage of nice weather!
I met and way passed my goal. I can’t believe it!
I hit my goal by running the 2 Mile Turkey Trot in 18 minutes! I never run that fast and I got to run alongside my HUSBAND for his FIRST RACE EVER! It was awesome?
20 miles… wow.
I ran 3 miles yesterday…missed my goal but honestly, if I did not do this challenge, I probably would not have ran yesterday! So I guess I still win 🙂
I crushed my goal of 150 miles and ran 203 miles in November!!! I also PRd the 5k distance by 90 seconds!!!
Goal missed. 🙁 I needed just one more day! But 157 miles for the month isn’t bad.
Surpassed my goal for the month of 40 miles. I actually ran 54 miles. Planning to set a goal for December as well. I am running a 5K on December 7th and hoping to start half-marathon training for a race in April if scheduling will allow me to travel! Such a great way to really kick off my running and stay on track! I truly enjoyed this challenge and it pushed me to do things I never would have tried otherwise! Thank-you!
I hit my mileage goal for last week… this week, I’m going to try to shoot for 35 miles.
Hit my goal of 80 miles for the month. Doing some HIIT workouts, yoga, and running for my exercise this week.
I hit my goal of 50 miles for the month!
Yes I reached my goal of 60 miles.
Continueing to pile the miles in December too.
Going out for a run.
10 miles goal this week! will not hit my goal by about 5 miles. =/
Passed my goal of 10 miles and minimum 2 x-train days, ran 11 and did 6 days of x-train, so pretty happy with that!! Now, on to December!
Made my goal! 130 miles(actually 132) for the month. My first marathon is this coming Saturday!
I got really close to my goal! The two days that I “failed” were the result of impromptu fun with friends and I’m okay with that!
I got 7.1 miles in (had 7 scheduled) and met my goal by 0.52 miles!
I just hit my goal of 100 miles for November thanks to Pile on the Miles… I know it’s just me holding myself accountable but it really helped. Thank you!!
Goal was 50 miles, did 54. Most of them were walking, but I got the go-ahead from my PT to run again, so I’ve been running a mile or 2 here and there. Loved this as a way to stay motivated.
I didn’t do so well with my goal this week….kind of sickly, traveling, work…life I guess….but, I did get out Thanksgiving morning while up north and ran a short 2.5 in 20 degrees while the north wind did blow….so I am THRILLED with that alone!!
Sometimes it really is the little things that make a BIG difference. 😉
I hit my mile goal today!!! 125 miles Boom!!
After my 4 mile run today I will have exceeded my goal (20 miles) by 10 miles!
I did it!! I met my ultimate monthly goal of 60!
When I signed up for #potm2013 I signed up for 50 to make it possible….but I truly wanted to aim for 60 and I did! Final total is over 61 for the month of November.
Thank you for #potm2013, I am not sure I would have pushed myself to my longest distances and consistent running without it!!
Now? Onward to December!!!
I hit my goals
I hit my week’s goal of 45 miles today with a 13.1 mile run. So I guess I can take tomorrow off if I want. 😉
My goal for the month was 55 and I finished out the month 5 miles over at 60!
Wanted to get 2 runs in this weekend while I was home for the holiday. Ran a 5k today, 1 more to go!
I hit my goal of 100 miles!!! On to my holiday hustle challenge in December. I figured the more challenges I can do in the winter months the better!
Not hitting my goal. I had a week of full blown rest because I was starting to get over-trained and my heart began to act funny. I dealt with mild heart palpations every night so that cut out a bunch of miles for me. However, I’m healthy now and plenty rested for the RW Run Streak. I did manage to run more than half my goal!
13 miles this week, that makes 93 for the month, didn’t make my goal of 100, oh well.
Didn’t hit it but I will in December!
Iced gingerbread popcorn!? yes!!!! I need it!
my pile on the miles is….. done!!!! 40 miles this month 🙂
I reached my POTM goal this month. I wanted to run/walk 160 miles for the month. I didn’t realize how much I walked each week until I started keeping track of it for this.
Missed my goal by about 37 miles. Ran for 83 miles total this month. Life throws you curve balls …
Hit my goal for the week, but not quite for the month. Rocked my 10K on Thursday though!
Not sure if I exactly made my listed goals but did do lots of yoga, bicycling (as weather permitted), and walking. Eating was good overall. Will try your next challenge and am excited! Take care, Monica!
I need to finish the weekend strong and go on a nice long 10 mile + run tomorrow. 🙂 20 miles is amazing!
I didn’t meet my goal, but I got in 29 of 50 miles. I was sick for a couple of weeks and decided it would be better to take a little more time off and get better rather than be sick at the holidays. I ran a 10K last weekend and finished right at my goal time.
Goal over reached! Awesome month if running!
I was hoping for 50 but had some foot issues. I ended up with 34.47 miles for the month….not too shabby. I did get in a ton of biking as well.
I went over my goal after my trail half marathon today!
I went for a teeny tiny jaunt at my local high school track with my mom this morning. My last day with her before I head home. 🙁 Took it nice and slow with a mile walk.
50.2 miles. Only about half my goal for running. But throughout the month I tried some new workouts and loved them. I still ran, but I put it on he back burner since it got freezy cold in ohio and I wasn’t able to take the baby in the BOB as much as I planned. For December I am taking my goals down a notch to actual reality in hopes to not have to take her out unless it’s warm enough. Which means looking ahead at the weather to see if I need to make an early morning effort or maybe a different workout during nap time. I got a Brooks Utopia jacket last week and I’m not afraid to use it!
My exercise this weekend was my last “long” run before St. Jude Memphis on 12/7. Eight miles. And holy jesus, where is that iced gingerbread kettle corn from???
Target! Good luck at the race!!
I did a 3 mile run today – slow and easy still coming back from injury. I didn’t have a goal for November due to injury but considering it for December!!
I hit my goal today of 110 miles for the month!!
So proud of myself for crushing my POTM goal! I wanted to run or walk 90 miles and I did 105!! I’m planning on continuing to have a goal for December.
Didn’t hit weekly goal bc I thought I needed my gall bladder out on Sunday–felt bad and couldn’t run Monday! Got in some extra miles Thursday and PR’d at the turkey trot! Got in my 16 this morning! Will have a good week next week!
ran yesterday, hopefully going for a walk and doing home HIIT tonight, and a longer run tomorrow!
Ran 16 this week while my goal was 21, I got a cold at the end of the week and rested up instead for my half marathon tomorrow. My total mileage was 105 for the month which is good for me. 🙂
I set my initial monthly goal at 80 and ended up running 93, so I feel pretty good about my running this month. I usually do run more, but I can’t shake this lingering ITBS that I’ve had ever since my Oct. 6th marathon, so I just haven’t been able to get any double digit long runs in this month. Hoping to add more mileage back next month!
I’m not going to hit my goal because I’m spending thanksgiving with the fam and it’s freezing here. On the plus side, I got in two 18-milers and an 11-miler. I’ll take it!
I went to yoga this morning and doing a Santa 5k tomorrow.
I did my goal!
I’ve heard that video was laughable, but hadn’t seen it or heard that song. I can say once is enough for both. But glad you’re digging it! I have songs on my iPod that have been there for years.
I hit my goal for the week and the month, so happy. Actually got a run in everyday we were away for the holiday!
Ran 8.5 yesterday and I will hit my goal for the month as well as my annual goal of a 1000 miles by the end of the first week of Dec! Can’t wait to hit it and then set goals for 2014!
I didn’t hit my goal. I got @52 of 65. That is, however, okay. It has made me be more realistic in my goals (I missed my goal because I didn’t get in any of my Monday morning runs). Even though I didn’t get my overall goal, I did my longest run ever yesterday (8.1 miles) with my running buddy, Karen, so it’s all good!
I hit my goal this week, but not overall! Good job on running 20 miles today!
I raced a 10K and a 10 mile over the Thanksgiving weekend! I hit my goal of running most of my miles this month at a faster pace.
I piled on 7 miles today – my longest run ever! I also PRed at the Turkey Trot, which made me very happy, considering that at my turkey trot, I get to spend the 1st mile navigating through the walkers and the people who started off really fast and then decided to walk :).
Hit my goal for this week 🙂 I was able to get in 3 pain free days. One hike, one walk/run & one bike ride. Still having pain when I run so I’m happy to just be able to exercise at all!
I didn’t make my goal I should have picked a less ambitious goal. Good job on your 20. You do 20 in less time than I do 13.1
I made my goal!
I BARELY hit my goal today. I had so many mishaps occur this week that prevented me from getting some miles in. I did 3 extra today just to hit my goal!
Goal – attained (and then some, made 49 when I planned for 40, if I cram in another mile in the next five hours I can get 50 for the month…). This morning I ran a crazy hilly 10 mile race, only 25 seconds off my 10 mile PR that I set on the flatest course ever so I’m totally surprised considering I haven’t bothered training. And it was 21 degrees, it was so cold the water in the cups at the water stops actually had a thin sheet of ice on top that we had to crack through.
Ran 6 miles this morning to beat my goal by 5 miles awww yea.
I hadn’t heard that song before and I hadn’t seen the video, but that was painful! I don’t dig, not the video, not the song…oh my gosh! 🙁
On a happier note, my 50 miles – done! 🙂
Unfortunately the day AFTER I signed up for it, I ran a half marathon and had to hop over the finish line with a killer injury. So nope. Did not get my goal. But hopefully will heal quickly and try again. Thanks for the great opportunity!
My non-POTM goal right now is just to be active everyday, which I am. Today I’ve walked for an hour and am hoping to get in 30 minutes on the bike trainer, and probably same for tomorrow!
I hit my goal last night! Ended up 3.5 miles over 🙂
I hit my goal, and then some – for a total of 12 miles this week.
Yes! Beat my walking 35 miles a week goal! Feels good, especially as this week has been tough in terms of fitting it in. I can’t wait for your Decembet challenge. I shared it with my friends and we all think it’s really doable.
I’m not going to make my goal. I started a new job and then I got sick. I hate making excuses, but there it is. It’s all a matter of making time to get it done and I’ve been failing at time management.
It’s ok, if at first you don’t succeed, make a new plan!
I ran 9 miles this week and exceeded my POTM goal! 🙂
I ran 5.11 this morning and met my goal for the week finishing the month with 68.4 miles.
I won’t be hitting my goal. A knee injury got me put on decreased mileage as per my PT. Boo!
Since I’m new to your blog, I missed out on pile on the miles…however I just started the RW Holiday Streak, so I just got back from a measly 1.25 miles just to get something in for the day! I finished off with a mini yoga session for some stretching and some upper body/ab circuits. Congrats on your great run today! It must have been gorgeous in SoCal. I want to live there so bad!!
I hit my goal! And I rocked my 3 mile turkey trot!! 26:12, which is crazy fast for me 🙂
Yes! Hit 15 yesterday 🙂 almost home from FL and ready for a long run tomorrow!
I ran 9 miles yesterday…my longest run : ) I have hit and surpassed the POTM goal…so happy.
Came pretty close to my goal–I wanted to run 110 for the month, and ended up at 105.8 for the month. I was only supposed to run 6 today but ran a little over 10, just to bump up the number a bit 🙂 I’m only 45 miles away from 1000 miles for the year, though!
I was successful! Happy, Happy!
