Hello! How’s it going? Over here I am climbing out of a happy food coma. I love Thanksgiving!!!! (I said that all day Thursday.) But now it’s time to start thinking about Christmas or Hanukah or yourself if you just love a good deal and want some loot!
![shopping is good[3]](https://runeatrepeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/shopping-is-good3.gif "shopping is good[3]")
Let’s say hypothetically, I was still shopping for my Fall/Winter capsule wardrobe. And let’s say I was shopping for myself this lovely deal filled day instead of buying Christmas presents. If I was doing that, I would spend hours on the websites below looking for a combination of cute and comfortable and warm and cheap.
Then, I would create a “winter uniform” that looked like this… allegedly:
My winter uniform:
Top – I want this sweater in all the colors. That is what actually inspired me to do a winter uniform! I had to talk myself out of buying it in all colors because I know that’s boring a lil bit.
Under the top a simple cami.
Bottom – Yoga Jeans. Seriously. They don’t have my size right now, but I’ll be checking back everyday until I can get these.
Shoes – A comfy cute pair of flats or slip-ons for the day. And maybe some boots at night when it’s cold.
Accessories – I want a scarf so soft it makes you cry, like every single time you touch it a single tear falls out of your eye.
Jacket – I need a good peacoat (does that count as a peacoat?).
I usually just wear like 4 hoodies at a time when I’m cold because I don’t have a fancy jacket.
That brings me to my sad jacket story…
One time a friend tried to have an intervention with me and was like, “You cannot wear that sweatshirt out! It ruins your whole outfit and makes it a mess.”
and I was like, “It’s a hoodie not a sweatshirt!” But I knew she was right. And I froze because I don’t have a friggin’ nice jacket.
The end.

I did about 4.5 miles
unfortunately I bombed my goals this week 🙁
I did put in some miles and one strength workout so at least I did something. Hoping to stick to my goals for this week.
i may have done just as much personal shopping black friday as i did for others…thats not bad right? i mean, I need more sweaters, and dresses…and things i actually dont need lol
Hi,
For the final week, I hit my goals ! Now I need to do it all winter long !
I smashed my goals this week! Not only did I get all my runs in…I PRed during my 10K Turkey Trot, which is the first PR I’ve had since my son was born a year ago! I’m so thrilled!
It was a good week. I ran 4 times, and walked on the other days. Did some abs workout.
Thank you for keeping us motivated!
I did not hit my goals, but I did what feels right and true to my body’s needs. Two super long walks, climbing and lots of jumping around in excitement!
I didn’t make my 85,000 steps this week….boo! I blame the turkey. I was close though and was active all week so I’m still happy.
Due to traveling, I took a couple of days off, but I’m happy to say I made it! I ran at least 3x a week for the last month, and it’s getting easier. Now to keep it up so I don’t lose it!
I was on vacation in NY with my 9yr old daughter last week, and I STILL MADE MY POTM goals! One of those runs was on the treadmill in the hotel gym where she was crumpled in a corner with a laptop. The other run was through Central Park while she slept in. Epic!
Did 40 for the week! I was nervous because I didn’t run at all on Friday….had to go car shopping all day 🙁 but came back strong with 9 yesterday 🙂
I ran 30 miles this week. Nailed my goal of 20 miles/week. Thanks for the motivation!
I didn’t quite hit my goal for the week. Between bad weather and the gym being closed for the holiday and a minor injury, it just didn’t happen for me this week. I’m back at it though this coming week!
POTM- hit my goal of 4 check ins at the gym and a 5 k on thanksgiving
I loved this week. I had to adapt the goal slightly when travel plans chamged. I was basically pacing in the in-laws 100+ year house for two days… but I got my step goal each day. I planned on a number od elliptical sessions, and did some 2 a days to get them in. I f er lt strong staying on track.
I met my goal this week on my Wednesday run! I am stoked to know I will go over it when I complete my long run tomorrow (12 miles)! Thank you so much for pushing us all to get moving!
I did it! I ran 3.1 miles today and hit my goal of 50 miles this month.
Thank you for this challenge. I literally would not have done it without finding it on your blog.

didn’t hit my goal 🙁 took an unexpected rest day, plus one for traveling…hate 2 off days in a week. and missed one work-out today, so only kettle bells on the agenda. guess its something.
Exceed my goal by 3 miles for a total of 12 miles this week!
Yes, yes I reached my goal. Did a 10K turkey trot under one hour!
Boo Yah!!
And today I did a 4 mile shake out run.
My quads were pretty dang sore from the turkey trot!
Rest week! Which is always part of a successful plan!
#POTM15 Now that I am finished with today’s workouts, I am happy to report that I have accomplished 100% of my goals for the week 🙂 I also did better than I expected in all 3 races I ran in Nov, and have already exceeded my Nov mileage goal of 115 miles (today I am sitting at 117)! Thanks for all of the motivation, which helped me stick to my training schedule and recovery plan this month! Now, I will have a nice, chill week before I start training for my Dec half 🙂
Yes, I hit my goal each of the weeks. Proves I CAN do it! Now just have to keep it up. Thanks again for the motivation. It was just what I needed and at the right time!
This month was great, lots of miles, a ton of fun races and a 10k PR. Ready to set some new goals for 2016!!!
41miles this week. I feel like I have learned to get runs in ,next week I’ll be running my first marathon and well see where the trailgoea from there.
I hit my goal of 3 runs this week, even though my run today was much shorter than I wanted. My foot is bothering me and I didn’t want to push it.
I am really happy that I used this challenge to meet my goals this month. This week has been the best yet. I ran three times, did three yoga classes and a spin class. Now I’m ready for December!
I did hit my goal (and passed it)! Ended up doing about 59 miles for the month, when my goal was 50 🙂
I reached my goals for the POTM15 challenge! 🙂 it’s been so fun.
Technically, I did not meet my goals this week. I still had strep throat until today (almost 2 weeks!). I went out today and ran 4 miles…which included running in my neighborhood…to Fort Clinch…past the marshes…to the lighthouse and then back to Main Beach (near my house) where I walked along the beach for maybe a 1/2 a mile watching the surfers conquer the big waves then ran home. Fun! And I’m glad I’m better. So I only got one day in but that is better than nothing considering I’ve been sick.
Exceed my goal by 3 miles for a total of 12 miles this week! Can’t wait to do this challenge next year! This challenge kept me accountable with my running & pushed me to run more!
I finished the week strong with an 18 miler today. The Turkey Trot was a great race, my son and I both placed well.
Missed my goals this week. 🙁 got food poisoning yesterday and pretty much have zero energy for exercise today. Tomorrow will be another rest day and then back at it on Monday!
My goal every week was to do at least 9 miles & I did 12 this week! This challenge kept me accountable & made me push myself. Can’t wait to do this next year!
I am proud of my accomplishments this month! I’m at 118 miles for the month so far. I think I’m going to keep going on my own with a new goal next month!
I did something to my back while washing my car yesterday…. I should have left it dirty.
I am sitting on ice today so I can possibly walk 3 mile tomorrow.
I took a body pump class this morning!
I met my mileage goal plus a few extra!
Hit my goal for the week yesterday with a 55 minute strength circuit… which I feel in each individual muscle of both my legs and abs :-p
Thanks for doing pile on the miles; it’s always such an inspiring way to get the hard part of the year (pie… cookies… stuffing… miraculously butter filled side dishes…) started out right!
I’ve been under the weather this week, so I did miss out on my goal, but I’m happy to say I did get a couple of light workouts in (better than nothing). And I’m happy with my overall achievements for the months! It’s helped me so much in keeping motivation through the holidays and am planning on keeping it up through december 🙂
Thanks POTM15
yes! met my potm goals! for all 4 weeks. maybe i need to make the more challenging next year…
Crushed it! Wasn’t feeling it last night and said just do a mile on the treadmill to at least say you moved! 3miles later I was done!!! Getting ready to hit the streets to do an easy 40-50 minutes!!!! Thank you for keeping me motivated.
Slippery sidewalks are putting my 10 mile run on hold till tomorrow, but it WILL happen. I’ll have to go slowly to stay upright which will probably result in my reaching my 90 min goal for a run. Very happy with this month – should hit close to 80 miles after being back for 3 months after stress fractures kept me out Feb-August. Half marathon in a week!
Last day of #POTM15 and I recharged after much needed rest day! Today’s workout consists of 4 running miles, followed by a whole lotta strength training. Plus, stretch/foam roll/core, etc..
I hear ya on the outerwear! I have workout jackets, hoodies, and a heavy peacoat for traveling to cold weather – but NO nice jackets! Really need to shop.
I reached my goal every day this week- for a total of 83 miles! Today I did a boot camp class and used the elliptical for 45 minutes. Am headed to the park soon to play football!
I hit my final
Goal today of 80 miles!:)
124 miles – a great month! I hit my goal with four miles to spare and with still two days left in the month I may hit 140 for the first time in a long time! Great month running!
I’ve done two of my three runs this week, and I plan to do my third one today!
I hit the mall and stores for my morning then took an afternoon walk to work off my
Dinner/lunch!! Loved this and it kept me accountable!
Met my goal this week of 17.5 miles! Did the Turkey Trot 5k Thanksgiving morning. I will surpass my goal today when the family takes a 2.5 mile hike. Loved this challenge!
I hit all my goals! Worked out 4-5 days/week and ran over 15 miles total each week. Bring on December 🙂
Just got back from a great 8 mile run! I didn’t hit my mileage goal each week- but I’m still happy with how I did! I’m coming back from a knee injury and figuring out how often/how many miles I can run without aggravating it too much. Some weeks I couldn’t hit my goal but I ran more this month than I have in ages….and the knee doesn’t feel tooo terrible lol
I was able to squeeze in a workout every day that I needed to for the challenge, but it wasn’t pretty. It kept me accountable though, and I was thankful for that. I’m about to hit the TM for my finale to the week!
Wrapping up POTM with a half marathon today!! Temperature at the start time is 18 degrees- lets do this!!
I didn’t hit my goals but I did workout a lot, so it’s ok the same:-)
This was my first time doing #POTM15 and I’m so glad that I did! This week was typical for a thanksgiving week, but we’ve been doing beach walks while away; so not a total loss of activity 🙂 my goal was two runs, lots of family time, and some time on the beach. Goal met!
Great, hit both my mileage and yoga goals!
I hit my goal – even did a 4 miler in. The freezing cold yesterday with the kids in the stroller. Went to 2 Bikram classes.
I did nothing today (except shop and eat). But tomorrow… tomorrow I run. At least 4
Not quite but almost.
I’ve been doing great this week! I am going to do a 10 mile run tomorrow morning (Saturday) which brings me a lot closer to my goal and I might actually be able to make it! Very proud of myself.
Yes! I hit my POTM goal of 25 running miles. I ran the 30th mile today (and there’s at least a few more miles that will get added to that total tomorrow!).
Met my goal of 4 workouts! With a crazy busy week I was proud of meeting this goal!
This week has been great! Four runs – 26 miles – so far, with the weekend left to go. Back on track!
59 miles this week. Hitting my goal.
I’m so lost. Don’t even remember my goal, but did 5 on we and 3.11 on Thanksgiving. Today was a rest day after the food coma. Tomorrow 7-9! Then football party!!
This week was great! I was home in colorado with my fam and there’s a brand new beautiful gold’s gym in my hometown. I signed up for a free trial and went to all the classes! It was great to have that outlet during an otherwise food-filled week.
I didnt run or walk today because it was sleeting all day. So, I didn’t hit my goal for the week but I got close.
I’m proud of this week! Ran a half marathon and a 10k (at 22 weeks pregnant). I’m close to my monthly goal… I think I can do it over the next few days!
I hit all of my goals! And ran 4 miles today!
I totally made my goals (and then some) this week. I got in a gym workout every day, except yesterday. I did 36 miles all week AND I did a 35 mile ride today on my bike. 64 degrees in New England on November 27 – who would have thought? Gorgeous ride. I ate too much pie, but the calories I burned riding certainly made up for it.
16 miles & lots of yoga. And some push ups! Great week for me!
I have been really sick this week, but right before that I got a new lifting PR which was a really nice feeling to help me feel accomplished during this time of being stuck in bed.
I did hit my weekly goal and passed my big goal! I am so proud! Thank you for doing pile on the miles!!
I took yesterday and today off which is hard for me as I never take days off. But holiday + family + sinus infection = perfect trifecta for rest.
I hit all of my goals 🙂 Even started the #rwrunstreak to keep my miles going!
I did hit my steps goals for the week (although it’s not a very high number as I’m hopping around on one foot after surgery on the other).
