Good and fast this morning, it's been a long time since I really felt like I'd pushed myself as I've been nursing this foot, but did my fastest KM for a while (4m 52s)

I've Fobe parkrun this morning. It was a chilly one!

725 / 25 getting close!

*done

Swam 1km last night, sadly no ParkRun today with the storm conditions and torrential rain coming down sideways.
Well done bear on your super fast km/split it’s a good feeling when it suddenly comes together again. Your within touching distance now bit hope the running goes well.

10k run this morning before the rain and wind returned again at 11am with vengeance 😬 real stormy winters weather this weekend.

31.2 miles of walking done this week. I'm nearly at the 1000 mile mark!!

I'm definitely up for doing this again in 2019!

973.89/26.11

13 miles for the next 2 weeks and I'll hit 1000 miles, pretty sure I'll manage that!

Amazing Amy, well done. Have you worked out what it is in a relative distance? (Ie. 1400km is the length of Britain by road), so 1600k/1000 miles is.....I don't know! But it sounds good!) Have you lost weight doing it?

I did a slippy, ice patch-y 5km this morning.

That's 1532.5

I'd love to get to the 1600/1000 mile point but I think I might be slightly over stretching myself given the next few weeks! Next year I'm going to count backwards from this year's total to try and beat it.

@thenewaverage it's just over the entire length of New Zealand! I've lost the majority of my pregnancy weight gain (3 and a half stone) so that's been a real bonus!

I'm determined to do more next year!

That’s a brill distance amy and well done losing the pregnancy lbs it’s not easy doing that. Hope you enjoy the last couple of weeks walking.
Yes I’d be up for a 2019 thread to track my year not sure on my goal, think I’ll try for a 1000km again see if my body can avoid injuries.

Talking about the length of New Zealand did you read “Pants of Perspective” by Anna Mc Nuff I really enjoyed it her journey running New Zealand.

6 km

Ran 7k tonight just about dodged the rain showers just avoided the downpour as I stopped but landed in a dark puddle near the end Arrh cold wet shoe..

I'm on 732 / 18 soooo close.

I've worked out that 750km is the equivalent of running from my home in se England to Geneva. I'm impressed with that.

I'm catching a plane back though

Not via Gatwick I hope! Your Sooo close. bit gd luck.

Swim for me today, getting a niggle again grrr from old C-sec scar tissue same thing got triggered last time I ran HM. Need my runs at the moment to keep me sane with work stress & Xmas.... it was nice to swim today though and just focus on breathing. I’ve swam over a km a week now this year. I really would like to get more swimming in next year though.

Swim total 52.2K

You're a machine ski. You've done so so well. I know exactly what you mean about exercise and sanity.

Though I have to say that the thought of having to run again tomorrow is making me a bit teary. I'm so tired.

737 / 13

5 this morning

1543.5

Christmas do tonight, rest day tomorrow, 10km Santa fun run on Sunday!

Festive leggings ParkRun today + little extra to get there from the carpark. Over the 700k now don’t think I’m gonna make the 750 now but I’m happy to have re-built distance after still nursing niggling long running injury issue.

Thanks for the encouragement bit I don’t think I’m a machine just an overweight middle aged weary mum most of the time. I’m the only person I know to run loads and not lose a flipping lb! Good 2stone to lose...ho hum I keep trying

You sound like me ski

6km run today. 743 / 7

Interesting idea. I couldn't run for a bus - but desperately need to do a bit more exercise.. I'm going to try to walk 1000 km next year - that's just under 3 km a day - sounds about right to start me off. Current baseline is popping dog round the block about 4 days per week (DS normally walks him)

10km

1553.5

5km

748 / 2

I'm going to jog that last 2km then relax in the spa. Then go to the pub

Argh I'm so annoyed with myself! My maths was wrong with my mile count! So despite walking 28.87 miles this week, I haven't actually hit the 1000 mile target.

After a big recount earlier my new and correct total is...

992.99/7.01

7 miles this week....easy peasy!
