not bad for mile 25
Okay, 245 for me, since that's what it'll take for me to reach my 2017 goal of 2600 miles. It's been a slow 2-3 months; December needs to be better.
I'm not sure about a mile a day since I'm trying to increase my weekly mileage and think I need a rest day each week. I'll try to do 210 which would be my highest mileage month. Good idea to do this!
245 for me
Oh snap.

Only you know what is best for you, but getting in 1 easy mile on what would normally be a rest day might actually be beneficial to get the blood flowing to your muscles.
We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
son of a nutcracker, I missed it this year!!!!!!!!!!
Jump in now!
Thanks for putting this together.
217 miles for December. Not the biggest month this year, but need a streak to get things going. Consistency is lacking lately.

Is it too late? If not, I'm in for 145 miles, which I think will actually be the most miles in a month this year leading up to the Houston Marathon on Jan 14!

Not too late. Welcome and good luck with your marathon training.
Oh fine, I see I’m one of only two or three with no mileage goal. I’d love to say 200 but that’s just setting myself up to fail. Let’s say 150–which will still be a challenge in December.
Thanks for setting this up!

Hello everyone. I am on a streak since Oct. 1st, so I am in by default. I will throw up 250 for a December goal although that might be a little high considering the weather and when the ski resort opens. Planning some snow running, but that drops the total.
A fun motivator, thanks.
12-22 Last One Standing - dnf 37 miles
1-23 Sun Marathon - 3:53
3-4-23 Red Mountain 55k - 7:02
4-15-23 Zion 100 - 27:59
I'm in, Started with a 10 k thanksgiving morning. Hope to do 125 for December.
240 would make it a pretty solid month.
I was curious to see whether this would make it my highest December ever, but in fact it turns out last December I did precisely 240.0. Ha.
Then 241 miles is in order to feed runner's OCD! Just one more mile.

Checking further - 240 would also actually get me total mileage for the year exactly equal to last year's total. So yeah, looks like one more.
