[mrshandy]

Run: 108.2 mi
Bike: 10.3 mi + 2 hrs on the trainer
Swim: 7397 yards

Year so far: 
Run: 966.8 hmmm...I wonder if I could make it to 2019 miles?!? I did the math and if I stick to my 50-miler training, I'll have to run like 160 miles in December. That will be difficult but doable. We'll see if I'm inspired to do this. 
Bike: 34.5 miles  + 2 hours on the trainer
Swim: 25,547 yards

Sub 3:40 at Boston Marathon   done at Boston 3:36:25
After Boston get in at least one trail run in a week Doing good with this, every 1-2 weeks. My run this weekend was kind of an adventure, but that's what I get for trying new trails. 
PR my Sprint Triathlon in July I don't think this one is going to happen, I'm pretty sure I'm going to defer. I don't have time to fit in another one. Next year!
Run Wineglass and Marine Corps Marathon I'm probably just going to do Wineglass, MCM doesn't work for my schedule and is $$$$
Run JFK 50-miler Signed up, just got to you know actually run it.  
PR at least one distance that I've already run (like a 5K or 10K) Maybe I'll try for a 10K in December to make this one happen. I've PRed this distance already within a 10-miler so I should be able to make this happen.

[wambam]

I would like to get a stable handstand and maybe walk on my hands a few feet. Everything else in yoga is flexibility limited for me, not strength limited so I don’t see any huge goals there.

I don't even remember writing this lol. I don't have goals anymore and I'm fine with that. I workout because I love it. I am still doing yoga, going to the gym, and running when I feel like it.

I ran 44 miles in June. I've run 160 miles for the year, which is just a little less than I ran by this time in 2018.

[lilypad1126]

June 2019 totals:
Run: 120.3
Strength: 4x
Core: 7x

2019 total mileage thus far: 648.76. In years past, I haven't passed the 600 mile mark until NOVEMBER, so I'm really excited about this. Assuming I don't injure myself, I'm on track to pass 1,000 miles this year. 

2019 Goals
I have a couple big goals this year, and a couple smaller ones. Hopefully at least 3 of them are attainable.

1. PR Chicago Marathon. In theory, this should be easy. In 2016, I ran it pretty slow with a goal of enjoying it. I just want to shave 3 minutes off, so I can come in under 4:30. I guess I'm on track to do this? Only time will tell, but so far the training seems to be going ok.

2. PR my half in March. Last year I ran it while battling a migraine, so again, in theory, I should make it. I did this. I PR'd by 53 seconds. Ha! I was hoping for a significant PR, but I'm going to take this super small win.

3. Continue to debate with myself about the whether to find a running coach. I live in the middle of nowhere, which makes this more difficult. Plus, I’m not actually sure I want to do the hard work I know I need to do. On the other hand, training for a marathon is a monster task and I probably could use the encouragement. I signed up with a coach. I have no idea if it's helping, though it is keeping me accountable. I'm actually doing the prescribed speed work, and my overall mileage total is way up from previous years.

4. Continue to actually enjoy running. The one thing I did right with my goals of 2018 was to get to where I enjoyed what I was doing. I want to keep liking it, because really it’s so much easier to slog through the miles when you enjoy what you are doing. I'm about half and half on this. Some days I HATE running (too hot, I started too fast and bonked early) but other days I LOVE it. So, it's a work in progress.

June Mileage

Run - 72.87

Bike - 260.69

Year to date Mileage

Run - 770.13

Bike - 428.68

Goal check in -
1) PR at Paris marathon in April, I have a pretty aggressive time goal. Survive winter training.  I survived winter training but abandoned my PR goal and replaced it with enjoy the marathon which I was very successful at. This is now replaced with PR at Twin Cities
2) 2019 miles in 2019 between biking, running and swimming I'm over halfway there with a balance of about 820 miles left.
3) 1,000 miles biking - possibly a century - No century planned at the moment and am shy of this by about 575 miles.
4) PR either half marathon, 10k or 5k distance. No PR's yet this year but possibly in this training cycle.
5) Stay healthy and injury free. So far so good this year!
6) Find happiness and joy in my fitness journey wherever it takes me. Honestly this was my biggest goal this year and I am glad that I've been rolling with the punches to make the most of where I am at. It was a challenge to abandon my PR goal for Paris but it was truly the right thing to do be a sustainable athlete and not ruin an international vacation lol.
7) Raise $1,000 for LLS through the charity bike ride - I'm halfway here.

[wawa]

I'm....I dunno man. i don't want to think about it. I feel like my big first half of the year goal just ended on such a whimper, but at the same time, I'm actually really proud of where I'm at right now in terms of fitness.

I get frustrated if I look at what I set out to do. But i'm happy with the point I reached. So...yeah.

180 combined miles this month. 112 of which were all on one day, the rest sproradic at best.

I feel very ambivalent about this check in!

[ktzmoh]

I don't think I posted in the goals thread.

I had 173.8 miles for June, which is the most I've ever run in a month. Previous highest mileage month ever was 172 miles in March.

My goal for the year is to put myself in a position to BQ in August if I am given the right conditions on race day. So far I spent the first part of the year working on sustaining a much bigger base mileage and working on speed by focusing on 5K training. That went really well and I'm now in the final build for my BQ attempt! Fingers crossed everything continues to hold together.

[minzy]

June was 136.57 mi bike, 41.44 mi run, ~2 mi swim, worked out 22/30 days.  School being out changed things up a bit.

2019 Goals:
Run at least two half marathons - one down, probably doing the other in the fall
Work out 300 days - 162 days so far this year, so ahead of schedule there
Gym bike at least 2000 miles - 1,148.16 mi so far (and I'm starting to do more biking for transportation)
Run at least 500 miles - 297.34 mi
Lose between 5-10 lbs - looks around sheepishly, can't win them all! (but holding steady)
Reduce sugar intake - not so much this either (see above) 

[sadlebred]

Bike: 490 miles
Yoga: 3 sessions

1. Do cool events
--Yes and have several more to go.

2. Race cool races
--Yes although I may not get to 1-2 events I'd hoped.

3. Ride with cool people.
--Yes!

[campermom]

Oh my gosh! I’m so happy to look this up bc I doubled my mileage from the previous month slumps!

Run: 61 miles
Strength: 3
Crossfit: 5
PT/IT band exercises: 5 times (whoops!)

My goals: 1) Put a dent in the 18 lbs I’ve put on since May. I’d like to lose 10 by March.

I ended up gaining about 8 more lbs. it was a meds thing. The numbers are going in the right direction now.

2) Finish Base of RP Strength and evaluate Cut 1 when it comes
Nope. Couldn’t keep up.

3) Complete NROLFW by April
Didn’t finish, but I have started Crossfit and do NROLFW when I’m not there.

4) First trail 50k in Jan. Make the 8 hour cutoff
Close!! I finished in between 8-9 hours but they did not cut me off!

5) Sub 2 Half in May which would be a PR
Did not run it, IT injury

6) PR 2nd marathon in November
I will!

[arch01]

Run: 50.3 miles

I didn't post in the goals thread and am still thoroughly enjoying not having a goal out there besides just trying to get/stay healthy and enjoy running again.

[labbie]

July running mileage is lame, like me (plantar fascitis flare is being so stubborn): 25 miles run, 26 miles walked, 31 miles biked


2019 goals update:


1. Complete NROLFW by March
- No. The plan wasn't for me.

2. Hike Trans-Catalina trail(March) and 40 miles of Appalachian Trail (May) and finish happy/healthy
: YES and YES! 48 miles and 50 miles backpacked. I finished very happy and mostly healthy. Only issue is some bad PF in one foot but thankfully it didn't hit until I was done with the AT section hike.

3. July 12 hour overnight ultra- stay out there moving for all 12 hours (i.e. don't mentally collapse at 4-5 a.m.). 3rd time's a charm? I will know in a few weeks. 

[itsme]

2019 GOALS

1. Run. I just want to get back into running.

2.  Lose the 13lbs I gained since May and lose the 5% body fat I put on.


PROGRESS:

1. I wouldn't say I'm running a whole lot.  Just throwing it in here and there.  

2. Still on track with the weight loss


In June I ran 10 miles and did 17 days worth of workouts that were not running.  Had vacation and a long weekend getaway in there so my number of days working out was less than usual.  

[cinco]

2019 Goals
1. Get a BQ during 2019. I’ve gotten one every calendar year for the last 9 years, and I really want to make it a solid 10. After that, I can be done
Nope, don't think it will happen this year and I'm okay with that

2. Race at least 3 shorter distance races (10m and under)
I did a 10 miler and a 5K. Running a 5K with DD on the 4th, so this one is a check.

3. Run at least 1 trail race.
Yes. Ran a trail 1/2.

4. Work on improving my cycling cadence. Not sure how to quantify this, but I have lots of room to improve here. Ride 100x
Working on it! 54 rides as of today.

5. Do one group run or group exercise a month. (Forcing myself to be social, lol)
Nope. I hate to make excuses, but I've been busy. Apparently I can't force myself to be social. 

2019 Mileage (so far)

Running: 1063

Cycling (Indoor): 485 

[vcubergirl]

Monthly totals, not bad considering we were at the beach for a week!
Run: 42.25 miles
Swim: 7775 yards
Indoor cycle: 8.14 miles
Lift: 8 sessions, but some of them were doubles, so I actually did 10 of the strong curves workouts
Yoga: 7 sessions

Goals check in:
1. Sub 25 minute 5k
My current pr is 26:11, so maybe by the end of the year?

2. PR the Richmond half
It's in November, so fingers crossed!

3. No new injuries
I did hurt my knee, but only slightly! So I'll consider that a win so far.

4. Get down to my goal weight
I'm about 2-3 pounds away, but summer is not helping!

5. More yoga
As of now, this is a no, but I'm signing up for yoga teacher training in the fall at my regular studio, so by the end of the year it will be a definite yes!

[jene]

Yearly mileage total: 320 running

Goals: have a solid 10 mile performance: yup
Big fat marathon PR: we’ll see, I’m doing twin Cities in October
Cross another state off of my half marathon list: likely South Dakota, we’ll see

[doctoranda]

Bike 62.5
Hike 21
Run 6.5

Doing okay so far. Short term goals were look okay in bikini on trip to Grenada. Trip is over now. Now I am going to work on truly getting in shape. I have injured my foot though right before the trip, I think it is my plantar and the walking in sandals and flip flops did not do it any good. I am not sure if I will be able to run or hike any time soon. But there is always biking, abs etc.

[gt7301b]

Goal: Break 1:20 in a 10 miler. I should be able to at least PR cause my half PR is faster than my current 10 mile PR. DONE

I guess I am done for the year:)  I should come up with another goal, but with Boston in April next year I'm not running a full this year.  I am running two half marathons in the fall, but all my half PRs have come during marathon training so I'm not sure if a PR is in the cards this year.  I am at 582 miles so far this year, so I am going to try for 1,300 miles for the year.

[jade]

Goals:
Pre-baby:
Run or at least be active throughout this whole pregnancy. Aiming for three days a week - yup, was consistent in getting runs/walks in to the end
30 day yoga challenge - yup, ended up doing about 90 days in a row, need to get back to it

Post-baby - at 3 weeks pp these still seem like reasonable goals for the next 6 months

Run a fall/winter half marathon
Run at least one 5k or 10k
Lose the baby weight this time
Bike to work in Sept or at least until it gets too cold

[brooke77]

2019 Goals:
1. Half marathon PR
2. Sub 4:20 at Chicago marathon
3. Lose 5 lbs
4. Do some sort of strength training program before I start training for Chicago

Halfway Check-in:
Well... I lost the weight. I am planning on signing up for a fall half and would love to PR it. I am not running Chicago this year. I had a major setback with my asthma and basically stopped running. I am back to square one. It sucks, but I am NOT in marathon training shape. I could start training now and could finish, but Chicago is a huge expense and I would be disappointed with my time. I want a PR. So Chicago 2020.

[emilyj]

Let's see. June mileage was 14,000m swim (8.7 miles), 199.4 miles cycling, 48.7 running.

Mid-year goal check in:

1. PR IMTX - um, nope, and I'm still mad and upset at this.

Everything else is still TBD!

2. Go sub-3 on an Oly
3. PR the 1/3 IM I found last year that I really liked
4. PR a half marathon
5. Stay injury free and happy through it all

I don't know how long your commute is, but I'll warn you that riding a bike after having a baby was surprisingly uncomfortable for longer than I would have expected. I don't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure it was a few months after I expected everything to be feeling fine on the saddle. Start small and it'll be fine though.

[oswin]

I've been trying to get to this for the past week. Oops!

June mileage:
Running: 17 miles - this is not surprising, as I did my trail half at the beginning of the month and was pretty much done
CrossFit: 12 workouts

Goals:
Um, I haven't looked at these in a while
1. Run at least one trail race - preferably more. Probably a short-ish one soon (10-15k) and maybe a longer one later if I manage to train.
Did this! Ran two trail half marathons.
2. Hike a lot with my family. We just went hiking with all 5 of us for the first time yesterday. DS2 rides in a new Osprey Poco AG Plus and he loved it, and my big kids had no trouble doing about 2 miles so we'll work up to longer hikes together. I will definitely need to work up to longer distances because carrying an extra 20 pounds of kid (plus water, snacks, etc) is no joke.
Kind of. Did a few hikes earlier this year, hiked nearly 4 miles as a family on the 4th. Also DS2 weighs more like 25 lbs, he's grown.
3. Get ring muscle ups back (I could do them before I got pregnant but just barely).
Um, not so much. But I just got a pullup bar for home (right next to my desk where I work), so I'm actually making a bit more progress on this now.
4. Eat healthier. Hopefully this will translate to becoming leaner and possibly lighter. I weigh about 180 and although my body fat is actually reasonable, I could definitely lose some fat without getting into unsustainable territory. But more than the weight, I hope that eating healthier can help me feel more energetic.
Um, no. My eating has been "meh" and I'm now 185. Running only changed my body composition for the worse, just starting to regain lost muscle mass. But there's still time. I feel like I've gotten better at avoiding stress eating, but lazier about prepping a healthy lunch.
