49.02 miles of walking done this week!!! I Knew it was going to be a good one this week! I've been carting bags of stuff to the charity shop everyday this week!

941.69/58.31

With 3 weeks to the end of the year I only need to do 19 miles a week. Pretty sure I can manage that!!

BitOutOfPractice · 10/12/2018 08:25

I'm on 707 / 43. I'm really worried now. I so don't want to fall at the last hurdle. It'll wipe out all the times I went out when I didn't want to over the whole year.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 10/12/2018 08:27

5 this morning

SkiMum99 · 10/12/2018 14:13

That’s a great weeks total Amy. Keep plugging away bit, I had to revised my 1000k target to 750k after life & injuries got in the way but I’m super proud of what I’ve achieved this year. I doubt I’ll hit the 750k either but I’ve achieved other things this year I’m proud of instead.

Nailed my second HM this morning Grin Grin did just over in the end 22k but lost pace a lot after I had to divert to emergency loo stop at 12k mark, but kept going. Shattered now so got to find some energy for post school run activities in 50mins...

Trust me that 0.5 counts Blush

thenewaveragebear1983 · 10/12/2018 21:06

Bit too right! I always count halves!

BitOutOfPractice · 10/12/2018 21:22

My dp has given me a pep talk in the pub. Don't judge both kids are away and I'm feeling more positive now

babbi · 11/12/2018 21:01

Hi .. is there an app - how do you track these numbers please ?
I’d love to do this in 2019
TIA

thenewaveragebear1983 · 11/12/2018 21:16

Babbi I just use my Fitbit which tells me the distance each run, and I just track it on here adding it on each time. (The other running thread does total miles for the thread each month, everyone adds on to the total) but I prefer to track my own. If you don’t have a Fitbit or tracker you can still download the Fitbit app and use the gps tracking function)

SkiMum99 · 11/12/2018 21:49

Strava is a free app you can track different exercises or use a GPS watch. I have a TomTom and my DH uses a Garmin, each has their own app to download your stats into.

babbi · 11/12/2018 22:02

Thanks very much !
I don’t have a Fitbit ( maybe could treat myself for Xmas !) meantime I’ll down load the free App ..

BitOutOfPractice · 11/12/2018 23:23

I use an app called Strides. I recordots of targets on it eg weight list, km run, books read etc.

7km

Went out with great plans to run a long one despite my cold and the icy winds. Very quickly readjusted this plan to a modest 7 and even that felt like a k too far....
