I have completed couch to 5k in the past
I have given up on running in the past
I have tried and failed in the past

But I have a plan for 2020

I am going to run/jog a mile a day for the year.

I know some days I will be knackered and fail but if I do I will do more the next day to make up for it.

Anyone like to join me ?

Walked 2.5 miles.

Decided to add another mile instead of the car again. So 4 miles total for the day. Made up for yesterday.

You're all doing really well! I didn't get to walk yesterday but did 3.5km today. Would be too easy to not go again today and get back into bad habits, so I'm glad I did it!

Interested in this thread?

Bit late to the party. Tomorrow will be my second walk/jog in my quest to get fitter. Would be good to join you all and get some motivation. The 1 mile per day feels achievable...

Ran 2km. Hill Walked the rest of the 30 mins.

WeirdPookah · 23/01/2020 15:58

We are on the third day of thick sea mist! Was rolling in even thicker!
Walked twice today. To and back from baby weigh clinic, about 2 miles and again instead of waiting in car. So 3 miles today total.

Welcome Flowerbomb, just jump in. The thread is spurring me on.

2 mile jog/walk tonight, 2 mile walk last night but didn't get out Sun/Mon/Tue so I'm a bit behind overall.

Egghead68 · 23/01/2020 22:14

Walked and ran 8.1 miles in total today (ate and drank a lot though).

flowerbombVR · 23/01/2020 22:17

Thank you!

1.25 mile jog/brisk walk done today. Could have done another but had a meeting to get to. I was spurred on by a runner who passed me and made a gesture to keep going Grin It felt good to get it done.

1.7 mile jog this morning. Almost didn't go but I'm glad I managed to.

Egghead68 · 24/01/2020 15:44

Very good. I’ll have walked 3-4 miles by tonight but no jogging.

WeirdPookah · 24/01/2020 19:16

I am really loving this mile walk instead of waiting in car at school pick up. it feels like clawing back some time in my day, it really makes the most of a waste of time and created more time to do something productive.

Thats all I did today, 1 mile.

Egghead68 · 25/01/2020 13:44

Ran a mile back to back with my circuits class.

Egghead68 · 25/01/2020 18:42

And walked 6.6 miles.

flowerbombVR · 25/01/2020 22:25

Well done !

I never managed to get out but will make it up over the coming days.

Egghead68 · 26/01/2020 18:06

Walked 2.5 miles

KnightandDay · 26/01/2020 19:51

Didn't do anything Friday or Saturday but didn't 1.8km today, I know it's not much but I'm glad I did something.

WeirdPookah · 27/01/2020 08:05

Nothing on Saturday but did do nearly 2 miles Sunday despite it starting to rain on the way home. Not like you have a choice by then!

WeirdPookah · 27/01/2020 10:55

Argh well had an unexpected 3 mile walk today as after strapping 2 children into the car, the ABS lights were on so had to drag them out, grab buggy and money and catch bus coming in 3 minutes time! Glad we live by the bus stop!
So got her to school and walked home with buggy.

Egghead68 · 27/01/2020 20:27

Walked 4.3 miles.

KnightandDay · 27/01/2020 21:44

Well done Egghead68 and WeirdPookah, you're doing great!
Walked 3.5km today, but forgot to track it in Map My Walk.

Egghead68 · 28/01/2020 18:18

Walked 2 miles.

KnightandDay · 28/01/2020 22:10

Walked 3.4km today Smile

WeirdPookah · 29/01/2020 13:53

Thanks @KnightandDay You are doing great as well.

I didn't manage anything yesterday, migraine struck. Feeling fragile today and the cold/cough virus both my children have, has made it's way to me now. I will go do a mile instead of sitting in the car, as my 1 year old now expects us to go looking for cats!

Egghead68 · 29/01/2020 17:27

Well done @KnightandDay too.

Walked 4 miles and will probably do a bit more.
