125 miles.
I'm intact, I suppose -- sort of. No broken bones, anyway, and that's what's most important to me. I did indeed PR in a huge way (-19:30), which was super nice since I hadn't even been planning to "race" it. And I've got a little over 155 miles, so I'd say it was a good month for me.

I don't know if I made a January goals list, essentially it was:
- Don't get hurt
- Be a more disciplined runner
- Run strong with the team towards my goals
I've pretty much got 2 of 3 down pat, I still have to work on being a more disciplined runner. Most recently, I'm thinking back to last Thursday's intervals: when the other 2 guys on the team I was running with went out too fast, I should have not have succumbed to peer pressure. Going out too fast for the first 2 of 6 caused the last 4 to be really laboured, something which I don't think the day's lesson should be especially when your interval pace is supposed to be "10k pace". I'll put that to the test tonight, hopefully I have the discipline to stick to the CORRECT time, not just what others around me are doing.
2015 Goals and PRs:
5k - 17:59 (18:05); 10k - 35:59 (36:42); HM - 1:19:19 (1:19:59); FM - 2:49:59 (3:05:46)

These were my January goals.... womp womp. Fail, fail, fail. Did NOT manage to recover without reinjury. Did NOT get back to my pre-injury miles, and had to DNS my 10K. Spent the whole month on the bench. Sadness! Well here's to a better February!
Don't get injured. Crap.... failed already... ummm..... Recover. Get back to my pre-injury mileage. Be able to run my 10K on the 26th. Don't get injured AGAIN?!

I started a blog about running :) Check it out if you care to
Never set any goals.
I had a good run in the rain yesterday, more than i expected.
Mine were :
1) Stay healthy
2) improve on long runs
3) Keep losing weight
4) >117 miles
I lost 2 pounds, and ran 128 so good there.
Twice last year I had setbacks after running 12, and had a minor one again this month. I haven't run 26.2 for 3 years but never had issues running 12 before. It has been frustrating as I have been looking at my running as a long term marathon plan (no big mileage spikes week to week, 3 days of weights, etc.) Maybe next time I do 11.8, I should skip to 13 the following week.
1. Don't reinjure myself. 2. Be more patient at the slow pace of rebuilding miles. 3. Do more cross-training on my non-running days. 4. Focus on eating less and better. These last few months have been bad for my weight. I'm an emotional eater, and the frustration of dealing with injury and my off and on return to running has led to some bad habits I need to break.

Well, one out of four is good, since I have managed not to get hurt. I ended up doing more miles than intended, simply because it felt good to be running without pain. I'm up to 15+ mpw, and a long run of 7.5. That's nothing for most of you, but given nine months off and only a little over three months back running again, I'm happy with it. Patience is not my strong point. I do some cross-training - mostly yoga and such, plus walking - but not enough. And though I watch what I eat, I'm also hungry now that I'm running more, so I'm not losing any weight.
