I could still, possibly, hit 1600k this year if the weather and health stay in my favour...

Thanks ski

10km for me this morning. First 2km were grim but now I'm glad I dragged my withered, overstuffed carcass out.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 26/12/2018 09:43

Ooops and that's 1572km

amysaurus87 · 26/12/2018 13:01

I've almost completed this year's challenge!! I might just make it, but I'm so sleep deprived today that I'm not moving from the sofa...

thenewaveragebear1983 · 28/12/2018 09:49

8.5 km this morning. Felt like death but feel amazing now!

1580.5

SkiMum99 · 28/12/2018 16:17

Well done bear I wanted to go out today but we went off early for family day out and having just got back I can’t face it so it’s early baths and PJs doing Xmas jigsaws & games with the kids Smile they have both said they will do ParkRun with me tom though!

SkiMum99 · 29/12/2018 10:37

ParkRun with my oldest daughter today helping her get a PB then I ran home to make it upto 10k. I’m SO close only 18k now if I want to hit 750k by year end but I dont think I’ll make it as I’d prefer to do ParkRun on NYE day as part of my RED January challenge Smile I’m not too stressed about hitting 750k this year as I’d rather stay injury free and keep enjoying my running. I’ll aim for a 5k tom.

Running 732k

SkiMum99 · 29/12/2018 10:43

I’ve ran my furthest ever total this month at 113k so far...so I’m well pleased with that Grin

thenewaveragebear1983 · 29/12/2018 19:24

thenewaveragebear1983 · 30/12/2018 16:02

I really couldn't manage 12 today, will try to get a short one in tomorrow to smash the 1600!

amysaurus87 · 31/12/2018 08:08

And I've done it!!! Walked 23.9 miles this week!

1016.89/0

I am so proud that I've managed to do this. I've signed up to do it again in 2019 and I would love to do way more!

SkiMum99 · 31/12/2018 13:59

Well done amy great achievement Star
Great running bear

I’ve been nursing tight hamstring after Sat 10k so we did a 5m family coastal path walk today instead. I’m not much of a drinker so will aim to do 9am ParkRun tomorrow Smile

BitOutOfPractice · 31/12/2018 17:09

Well done Amy!!

thenewaveragebear1983 · 31/12/2018 17:18

I couldn't get out for the last 2km, my foot is throbbing and it would have been a step too far I think, plus I wanted to start 2019 on a run not a rest day.

So here we go, over and out

1598 km
Average of 4.38km a day.

I am so incredibly proud of this, I have gone from an unhealthy, totally inactive lifestyle to being an endurance runner doing 20kms for fun. Life changing!

Thanks everyone for your support and motivation on this thread, I really have appreciated the support and kindness in here. Hope you have a fab 2019!

amysaurus87 · 01/01/2019 00:55

Final total for 2018 was 1022.90 miles!

Daily Average: 2.80
Weekly Average: 19.67
Monthly Average: 85.24

Gives me something to build on for 2019!

Happy New Year everyone!

SkiMum99 · 01/01/2019 10:57

Fab well done everyone and thanks for sharing the 2018 journey on here I really appreciated the support which helped to keep me going through July & Aug when I only logged total 25k in 8wks to Dec my best total 113k in a month. Total 2018 running 732k with over 1500km of other exercising if I add in swimming and cycling.
Plus I dragged my very weary bum around NYD ParkRun this morning and got my fastest time in months despite nursing my DDs cold in my throat Smile see you on the new thread for 2019 challenges we are all Star Star Star
