Wait, you are going to Florida and you are worried about getting miles in when you have glorious weather? Enjoy the time with the kids.

The weather won't be the issue and thanks!

I have no desire to get to that 140 mile threshold. That is just crazy
Heh. Me neither.
141. That's great. Nothing like a little motivation and fun.
I just got a little 5.1 tonight to finish things off for the week. That's two 60+ weeks in a row now. The base is being built.

Good job! You clawed back some ground this weekend. We'll see what happens on the week days. No way in hell I can keep up with both of you on the weekends.
That 141 mile week got you up by 20+.
So what you're saying is that I need to go 70+ this week or stay on the porch.

Unless my pelvis snaps in half. I'd call it a coin flip.

I have to say I'm LOVING THIS!!! Keeps me motivated enough to get my training in that I need but yet I can watch others do stupid stuff so that I don't feel the need too lol, though can't say that had this challenge been like any other month I MAY have fallen into the "trap" . However between weather, kids and travel I'll be lucky to achieve my goal. Speaking of traveling I'll be heading to Florida Tuesday to spend some much needed time with 2 of my older sons. Guess I need to bring my computer so I can read this thread so that it will motivate my ass to get up before the crack ass of dawn and either get out for a run or one in the hotel fitness center.
Enjoy the time with your sons and the weather! Luckily my "kids" will all be coming here this month.
And this is some stupid stuff on my part...

I see you are gaining some momentum Hoppity. Cool. I now log stalk too many people. Thanks for leading me to yet another vice Spaniel. Stupid running stunts and excess log stalking.

Thanks C-R. I'm still behind where I "should" be, just not as behind as I was. Hopefully I'll catch up soon! Hoping to be able to maintain something once Christmas kicks off and all the stays with family etc start making it more awkward to get out. I have a reason to get out now though...even if it is one that will be deemed pathetic by anyone other than you lot.I'm also suffering from an excess of logs to stalk, and am loving following everyone...you, ra and Spaniel are awesome to be watching. I was pretty psyched that Spaniel got his 140+ (and that his pelvis is still intact at the moment) and two 60's for you. So, next week is a 70 then? MrPH and having a reason to get the 50 is awesome too. Pretty much all of this is to be honest. It definitely makes for a better December.
Nice goal creep Teaolive. I defintiely like it.
Have a good trip rocken.
And a big +1 to mbehr's post.

The problem with your analogy is that, in the fable, the rabbit stopped.
spaniel aren't you worried you're going to injure yourself after not having run this type of mileage in a while?
