    Yes, but I can say congrats again. Congrats!!!

      1) I run a full and half within 8 days so want to plan running that week wisely

       

      2) I'm bailing on cliff bars, and experimenting with gu so hop that goes well.

       

      3) 130 miles

       

      4) make my 22 this week

       

      I made them but am not happy about eating enough before the marathon and fueling so will keep working on that.

        1)  Another HM PR (10/12)

        2)  Have a solid duathlon (10/27)

        3)  200 miles

        4)  Try not to stay awake to see every Red Sox playoff game to the end

         

        HOORAY!!

         

        Although I blew off the duathlon.

          1) Get over 100 miles this month

          2) stay on track with marathon training

          3) Course PR at Runner's World Half

          4) Enjoy myself at the rest of my races this month

           

          1) Missed but got sick, NBD

          2) Dropped training all together, but happy

          3) not just a course PR, but a Hm PR!

          4) enjoyed them all!

            1. Stay healthy

            2. Survive my first marathon taper

            3. Put myself in a position to run a solid debut marathon

            4. Setting a new 10K PR would be nice

             

            1. Healthy? - check
            2. Survive taper? - so far so good
            3. Ready for debut marathon? - I did what I could.  The hay is in the barn.
            4. 10k PR -  check - beat my old PR by a minute

            2013 goals: 800m: 2:20 | mile: 4:59 | 5k: 18:59 | 10k: 39:59 | HM: 1:32 | Marathon: 3:20

            StepbyStep-SH


              1) Continue to manage my "delicate" hip/glute

              2) Get mpw consistently back into the 40-45 range

              3) Stay consistent with strength training and martial arts for cross-training

               

              1) So far, so good.
              2) Last four weeks have been 44, 41, 45, 44, and this week should be 47ish.
              3) Skipped ST Tuesday when I wasn't feeling great, but otherwise I've done each twice a week, plus a couple of yoga classes.

               

              Yay, me!

              20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.

                  I didn't post October goals this month because I have not been around much.  Work has me so freakin BUSY!  Anyway they are the same every month so I can post my results.

                   

                  1 - I made it though the month injury free and that is always my biggest goal.

                  2 - Keeping it fun.

                     

                    My goals:

                    1. Run sporadically, short distances, in pain.
                    2. DNS Detroit Marathon 10/20.

                    3. Finally see an orthopedic & come up with some kind of plan of action for my f%&*ing knee.

                     

                     

                    1. Not achieved! Have been able to run consistently 3x/week, lately ≥6 miles/run, even broke 10 once. Last 3 weeks were all >20 miles. Knee pain has been minimal. (Knock wood.)

                    2. Check.

                    3. Meh. Actually started to feel a bit better a week before my appointment, at which I got a cortisone shot, and have been doing better since. Issue appears to be a slight meniscus tear, so options are (a) surgery or (b) hope it gets better on its own for some reason. So far going with (b). Doing OK but still nervous about ramping up too much, and that it will just come back.
