Happy New Year all.

Very delicate today. Managed 1 mile around the block!

Swam 60L which is 1.2km in our 20m pool, felt good to stretch out after yesterday’s run. (re-checked my totals as they weren’t adding up)

Thoroughly grim 5km this morning in the pouring rain, although once you’re soaked through you can’t get any wetter- 2nd half was better with the tail wind!

11k this morning super pleased with that. Was quite a lot of effort to keep going on slow pace with couple of 30sec walk breaks. There is hope now I can get back to HM by Jan

Running 498k SO close 500k was my July total but hey hoy after weeks of pain I’m just glad to still be running!

Really well done SkiMum99. I love reading about other people keeping going, even when they want to stop.

I just did 5km on the treadmill st the gym and ran a bit faster than usual and felt great actually.

6km today

1236.5/ 263.5

I’m really struggling with my mojo right now. I’m doing the runs but I’m slow and I don’t know why, even if I feel I’m picking up pace I’m still getting like 6m30 per km, where 2 weeks ago I was coming in under 6 mins very consistently even on a long run.
However, Some young guy overtook me on my run just now so I paced him for about 300m then absolutely belted it over the road and ahead of him, then tried to keep my pace, but didn’t dare look back to see if he’d caught me up! And that km was 5m28- so proves that I can do it. Think I maybe just need to push myself a bit more as maybe I’ve been getting a bit lax!

5km (in 29m 1sec!)

1241.5/ 258.5

Maybe you need to mix it up, most training plans do a 80% of long slower runs to build distance, with an interval faster short run and a hill work run. I took out cheap runners world subscription for 6mths it’s been quite useful with bits n bobs of advice.

Did a slog 5k tonight didn’t want to do it, dragged myself out when DH got home and then my music stopped after a km ggrrrr flipping slog but did it

Running 503k!

5k under 30mins is fast to me I’ve only done it once it nearly killed me

Lunchtime swim 1k

1258/ 242

Hope your legs weren’t too stiff after the long run bear

I squeezed in a early 8k run this morning I as had to spend 7hrs driving/sitting at daughters sports competition all day. It was sunrise misty run still enjoyed it.

37.38 miles of walking done this week! Super proud of that, it's mainly due to lots of long walks to get my LB used to his big boy pushchair (just moved him out of the pram bit 😥)

696.13/303.87

I reckon I might just make the 1000 miles!

I wasn’t too bad actually ski, I made sure to stretch properly!
Well done Amy, you’re doing so well!
