A mile a day in May

54 replies

DevilsAdvocaat · 01/05/2017 08:29

I'm going to try and run (at least) a mile a day in May!

I've done C25K previously and can just about still run 5k (on a very good day with the wind behind me). I fancy a new challenge and I think this will be manageable with my hectic life!

Anyone want to join me? Smile

I did my mile last night.
Currently trying to peel myself out of bed to run today...

Keep peeling!

I have done over a mile every day except one (which was a deliberate rest day).

I was considering whether to run today, but have got a walk planned. I suppose I could do both

How are you getting on Devils? Always fancied a run streak, but I can't face washing/drying my hair everyday Blush

DevilsAdvocaat · 12/05/2017 19:46

I didn't manage to peek myself out out bed this morning, even though I woke up at 5!

So I had to do my run after I'd been to the pub for dinner with a large glass of wine Confused

I did it though!!

Bleugh...Envy

I don't wash my hair everyday princess. Just shower everyday and wash hair every other.

Probably a bit gross but I don't care Grin

Can I join in even though it's half way through May?! I'm away for the weekend with no running shoes but can start Monday. Been wanting to do this for ages!!!!

MumIsRunningAMarathon · 12/05/2017 20:44

Day 12 and I'm still going strong!!! Surprising myself but going through running clothes like there's no tomorrow!

DevilsAdvocaat · 12/05/2017 21:58

Welcome Tum!

Keep up the good work everyone Grin

I ran on Friday, and did a Parkrun today. Plus went to an exhibition and clocked up over a mile there too!

DevilsAdvocaat · 13/05/2017 16:17

Good work.

I had a run this morning Smile

Mile done today.

I beat my best time today with...

10.41 Grin

Not Olympic standard but I've taken a minute off since the start of the year!

Well done!

I've clocked up 14k paces today, but it was all in fits and starts. I'm sure there must be a whole mile among it somewhere.

DevilsAdvocaat · 14/05/2017 20:32

Good good 😊

Well done! I'm not a runner, but would love to get into it. Just struggle finding time as can't leave kids alone in house to go out! Toying with idea of buying treadmill off eBay but dunno where I'd put it!

DevilsAdvocaat · 16/05/2017 18:50

Running machine is good but they do take up room! Mine is in my garage.

Do you have anyone who can watch the kids?

Sometimes I take mine to the park and run round the field but they're older!

DevilsAdvocaat · 16/05/2017 21:18

9.28
10.13

Hooray Blush

This is a GOOD IDEA
I'd have done it too if I'd seen it
Might geg in on it now.

I'm a little over eager Grin

ALittleMop · 18/05/2017 20:28

OK !!!!!
Yes, I think I will.

In 2014 and 2015 I did Advent Running, half an hour every day in December - never having run before - and carried on into March in 2016.
Didn't do it in December 2016 and really regret it.

I really like the whole it's every day so there's no shall I shan't I? faffing. And the daily dose of fresh air did my monkey mind so much good.

I will start in the morning.
