From here-

Happy New Year all.

Very delicate today. Managed 1 mile around the block!

So for me- 1 Down. 999 to go

Just to add it's a great app for tracking all sorts of goals - weight, habits, targets etc

BitOutOfPractice · 02/01/2018 14:23

Shoop I use an app (free) called Strides and I just log every run in there and it adds it on.

5km run, 745km to go

ShoopShoop · 02/01/2018 13:48

Thanks for the Strava tip. Downloaded the app and tracked my lunchtime walk - 2.4km.

I'm going to try and figure out how to manually add the walk I did yesterday.

Hoping to persuade DH to go for a walk with me later - taking advantage of DD being at MIL's for a couple of days!

If anyone is up for it we could follow each other on Strava, give a bit of encouraging kudos.

Pinkponiesrock · 02/01/2018 09:24

Strava automatically keeps a tally of your years total, and makes you a nice little video at the end of year Grin
Strava will also add up all the bits of miles so you’ll gain a few over the year, tactical thinking going on Wink
I did just over 5 this morning, early morning frosty headtorch run with my friend and the dog. It was lovely to be out early on a holiday as the roads were so quiet, didn’t meet a single car.
So that’s 8 miles done so far

TuftedLadyGrotto · 01/01/2018 22:32

I'm in. Started with two parkruns today, one at 9am and one at 10.30. So that's 6.2 miles done 994 to go.

Some great starts here!! Very motivating!

Is there a group on an app or are we just recording it here?

Im just recording on here but I believe some are on Strava?

I'm in for 1000k. Starting tomorrow as my new treadmill arrives Grin fingers crossed we can build it!!! Confused

I will require repeated kicks up arse!

Is there a group on an app or are we just recording it here?

winkywinkybumbum · 01/01/2018 22:05

My total for today was 6.5 miles but 3 of those was dedicated walking rather than just movement recorded. Looking forward to having a go at this challenge.

ladymelbourne1926 · 01/01/2018 20:53

Checking in, no miles for me today but aiming to do better tomorrow

ShoopShoop · 01/01/2018 20:51

4.8km walk for me today....annoying that I didn't quite get to 5km on my route 🙄

SokokeCat · 01/01/2018 20:41

Parkrun for me this morning (995km to go) and 11 miles on the bike (989 miles left).
I also signed up for the Virtual Runner 1000km run challenge...medal looks nice!

LoveVelo · 01/01/2018 20:07

6.3 miles for me this afternoon, very slow pace mind! I'm using the strava 1000 miles club to log with as well.

Pinkponiesrock · 01/01/2018 19:51

I did Parkrun today too, some people did 2 today as ours didn’t start until 11 but I wasn’t that keen!
Got 5 10k and a couple of half’s lined up for 2018 so hopefully that’ll keep me focused 🤓

pinkginanyone · 01/01/2018 17:05

1000kms for me.

I only managed 2kms today, didn’t get of to a good start.

Good luck everyone. 🏃🏽‍♀️

Undercoverbanana · 01/01/2018 16:57

I'm going for 100miles a month running. Should be doable if I stay uninjured. Can't do more than 17 in a day though - foot injuries galore. Never survived marathon training despite my best efforts. 9 done today.

CottonEyeJosephine · 01/01/2018 16:54

I’m in! Kicked off my 1000km running challenge with a local 10k race, so 1%completed...

0ellenbrody0 · 01/01/2018 16:06

I'm in. 1000k challenge (miles just not doable for me).

Kicked off with Parkrun this morning 5 down 995 to go

Looking forward to seeing everyone's progress.

ShoopShoop · 01/01/2018 11:03

If it’s ok, I’d love to join. Hoping this will make me more accountable and less lazy. 🙄Really need to get active again. Changed jobs in 2017 for one with a significant commute and haven’t figured out how to get proper walks and runs into the new routine. 🤔

Freshprincess · 01/01/2018 10:58

Checking in. Kicked mine off with a NYD Park Run. Only 997 miles to go.

Going to spend my afternoon booking myself onto some races, strike while the iron is hot and all that.

BitOutOfPractice · 01/01/2018 10:57

Hello! I won't be starting till tomorrow too hungover today
