Anyone else signed up for Red January?

Day 20 done ✅ here too. 5k run tonight :)
Gosh, only 11days to go!!!

I won't carry on running everyday beyond the end of January I don't think. I will stick to 4-5 runs per week though, hopefully. And at least go for a walk on the other days I hope.

Day 20 - done ✅
I was working away today and found a lovely country park to run 5K round.

Popping in late to the chat, but on track for my run. Have been doing dry January as well, and after a few months of treating my body like shit in the run up to Christmas, am feeling like a new person. Slightly scared about what will happen come Feb 1. Is anyone else thinking of continuing?

Still in so far

@GroggyLegs 😂 bless you! That is quite funny and totally sounds like me!!!!
@AuntieStella 10K, the idea of it scares and bores me at the same time. Never done 10K, but I probably could, why would I do 10K? I do 5k in around 34 minutes if I don’t do my usual sprint madness thing. So say at an easy pace it would take me about an hour? Don’t you get bored/tired? I have a mental block about the 10K, don’t know why, but a lot of my running friends are doing 10K and are apprehensive about park run now. Most I ever did was 8k, and that was because I didn’t have a choice, I had to go back to the car.

Completed day 19. And I added another 5kg to the bar at body pump, it became too light as I am getting stronger, and I was swinging that bar like a tea towel. I regretted it when we did biceps. Not sure if it hurt, I was too busy preventing a vaginal prolapse.
And so we’re onto day 20...

I've completed Day 19.

Still somewhat amazed that I've got this far. Have run/walked just short of 100km so far this month .

Sorry to hear you're still under the weather @hobnobsaremyfave

I have completed day 19. I ran slightly further than anticipated and ended up doing 7.5 miles! Hopefully I haven't overdone it and I won't be too tired tomorrow!

I saw a tweet saying that 19 Jan is 'Quitters Day'

No idea how that's worked out (fake science at its best, I assume) but it's the point at which eoooe give up on their NY resolutions in droves.

So for every one who is still going, bloody well done!

(I've barely exercised for the last fortnight because of injury; 10k event today and really glad to be back at it!)

Hi REDders.

I haven't been posting but I have been doing my runs/10k+ steps!

A frosty 5 miles this morning.
I managed to trip over, but turned into sort of a half ninja-roll, so I feel I styled it out & hardly anyone noticed.

Everyone noticed

Thank you! Yup, I did get a PB. How, just how have I shaved nearly a minute in the worse conditions ever? The sun made all the difference I think.
Well done us all, it wasn’t for the faint hearted!

It was beautifully sunny @BuddhaAtSea
But far too muddy for a PB here. Well done you!

Park run here too. Mine was a slippery icy muddy mess. Going up the hill on ‘grass’, ie so muddy you’re in danger of loosing your shoes. Going down the hill it’s on a cycle path, icy as anything.
Still, I think I’ve got a PB, my head was in the game :)
@hobnobsaremyfave get well soon
@HoundOfTheBasketballs was it sunny though? I can do anything when it’s sunny!

Shiny I like the idea of 'realistic exercise daily' - makes a lot of sense. We're calling it 'Record Every Day' - in other words doing something that is worthy of putting my Garmin on for with a 1-mile brisk walk probably being the minimum.

@hobnobsaremyfave - sorry that you're feeling unwell, hope that you can shake off the bugs and get back to normal. It's so frustrating when you're trying to do something good.

Day 18 - done ✅

Parkrun with DS. Although it was more of a mud bath than a run!

I cycled today for about an hour.
Tomorrow it’s park run.
Gosh, 17 days already gone?!!!

Sending all the pity and sympathy @PaulHollywoodsSexGut

Day 17 - Done ✅
Tried to up the pace a bit today and managed 29:07 for 5K. I'm not breaking any records but I'm happy with that given the fact I haven't had a rest day in over 2 weeks.

Hope everyone else is powering on through.

My ankles are attractively covered with a long strip of rocktape with a strip of cotton wool pad protecting the tender parts. I thought it would have better staying power against rubbing off and causing further problems like plasters often do

More Home yoga with Adriene, and in HM trainining, I followed up my outdoor fitness class with a gentle, flat, slow 10k. It's been a busying about sort of day anyway, so my watch is claiming 20km of activity including things like school runs and Guiding.

Rest day tomorrow. Yoga, osteopath and hopefully a walk in the park after.

I'm feeling happier with Realistic Exercise Daily over Run Every Day. I am aiming to run most and do some outdoor activity each day which has been the reality in my last two years.

@PaulHollywoodsSexGut day and night nurse!!! Try it, it’s nothing short of miraculous!
Day 16 done ✅, went spinning. I love cycling, but I’m still not sure about spinning classes.

I have a cold

PITY ME

This was the point I came unstuck last year and I’m not going to let it happen again.

Pity today

A little trot tomorrow.

Pizza for tea :)

Still going here and feel great. Going for my runs even in the torrential weather and there's something great about it? Lol

Day 16 - done ✅

We now have less runs left to do than we have already completed! Yay!!

I managed just shy of 4 miles today. I had planned a longer run along the canal towpath but the path was flooded and I was forced to turn back and settle for a couple of laps of the park and a bit of housing estate. Bloody weather!

Day 15 completed ✅ 😀

30mins on the treadmill today followed by an hour of weights and felt pretty good.

Ok back on form today.
I did 10 mins on the crosstrainer, 20 mins of weighed intervals, a spontaneous zumba class for 30 mins.
And I liked yoga so much yesterday I did 30 mins of that tonight. I picked the 30 days of yoga so... adding another little challenge to the list.
Top notch ladies. Proud of you all.
Hope the ankle is feeling better tomorrow @HoundOfTheBasketballs
And blisters suck @ShinyGiratina... not sure what makes them less painful other than plasters.
