With November just a distant memory, the Throwdown has officially come to an end. I embarked on this challenge with Katie just four short weeks ago, so that we could motivate one another to accomplish great distances in our respective running programs.
Katie technically beat me on this challenge with 39.27 miles to my 39. While I talked a big game on the weekend, my intentions were bigger than my resolve. In the end, I found myself in a position similar to that immortalized in the photo above....should have seen it coming! ;)
The truth? Everyone's a winner!
You see, this is one of my greatest milage months to date. I could not have done it without the constant threat of annihilation from Katie. tee hee.
Not only did we get in some great mileage, but we managed to inspire a few other bloggers to come together in competition. I encourage you to visit the other contenders to read about their challenges. Some have even renewed the battle for December:
Big Clyde and Alan
Jess and J
Travis and The Traveler
Now......what goals have you set for December??
Keep on keepin' on!

December? hmm... I don't know... I guess my MAJOR obstacle is my pms week! I NEED to take a detour from my usual SWEET cravings...in order to accomplish my goal of at least staying BELOW 200 pounds! oh my gosh...I got under 200 but now, after today and pms...ARG!!!
