Happy New Year all.

Very delicate today. Managed 1 mile around the block!

So for me- 1 Down. 999 to go

[atomicnotsoblonde]

5k today - it's getting easier although properly remembering my inhaler is helping hugely!

23.4/976.6 to go

[Pinkponiesrock]

I went to club last night, 1km efforts but I don’t think I really gave it my maximum effort too much Christmas chat to catch up on! 5.5 miles covered though then another 5.5 this morning with my friend and her dog!

I can’t get the strava group to work, it’s not showing up any of my runs. You usually get a top 10 then wherever you rank, usually about 567,954th for me but nothing on these groups.

[Pinkponiesrock]

So that’s 33 for me, 1/30th of the way there
I always calculate my runs like that, what fraction I’ve run and what still to go.

[SkiGirl007]

Logged a few more kms after work (7k)

Total 44k

[ShoopShoop]

3.6 done tonight in pitch black freezing fog. Fun, it was not😩

27.6/972.4

[LoveVelo]

pinkponiesrock same for me on strava, can't see where my paltry standing on the leaderboard is. I've joined the uk based 1000 mile club now as didn't find them before and joined the us based club. Also agree with your methodology for counting down the miles!
4.4 miles yesterday evening so 33 miles now, hoping to get some miles "banked" this weekend as once the spring kicks in will be back on the bike so weekly running mileage will probably reduce.

[BitOutOfPractice]

I'm on 31.4km now. Managed 8 last night. Furthest I've gone in years!

[LoveVelo]

Finished work a bit early so managed to get 8.6 miles of steady plodding in, running total now at 41.6 miles.
pinkponiesrock I wonder if it's only the challenges on strava rather than the clubs that show where your overall standing is on the leaderboard- I joined the lululemon challenge and a couple of others and they do give this information, but no so the clubs.

[atomicnotsoblonde]

A very hard slog 5k today. My lungs hurt and it was not fun. Determined to keep going, but I need to rest tomorrow and see if it helps.



28.4/971.6 to go

[Pinkponiesrock]

LoveVeloI’m on the January mileage and climb challenge and it’s showing up my lowly standing on that.

Just looked up my local running club too and I’m 19th in that, it’s showing up the same way as the Jan challenge. I’m confused as to what is going on with 1000 mile clubs

Anyway did 4 miles with club this morning and planning Parkrun with a 2 mile warm up tomorrow.

Currently on 37 miles, hopefully get to mid 40s over the weekend.

[ShoopShoop]

A couple more short walks done. Wish it had been more but had an awful week at work.

34/966

[SkiGirl007]

Was doing really well with my running and loving it but alas in bed now with full on head cold which has floored me. Hoping it’s not the flu bug both my parents had as I appear to have kept my appetite & been —eating non-stop— carb loading a lot! I will instead take motivation from watching you guys log your miles and hopefully be back next week.

44/1000k

[atomicnotsoblonde]

An easy 5.2k today and would have been longer has the doorbell not gone. No I don't want bloody double glazing!! Much better than yesterday's hard slog.

For any fellow asthmatic runners, I'm finding a blue reliever inhaler before I start, is much more helpful than my brown preventer.

33.6/966.4

[LoveVelo]

pinkponiesrock seems that quite a few people having strava issues with the 1000 mile clubs.

skigirl007 hope you're feeling better soon!

notsoatomicblonde sounds like treadmill is going as well as planned. Enjoy the first date and stop stressing it!

4.4 miles today, out and back "habit" run so 46 total.

[Pinkponiesrock]

Dragged my tired little legs out to Parkrun this morning, it was hard work

We did downhill sprints yesterday at running club and my legs are feeling it today. Thankfully one of my good friends was doing Parkrun today so we kept each other going, not a PB but not an awful time. Especially as our Parkrun has a 400ft plus elevation gain so it’s a hard run.

I’m on 42 miles now, so think I’m going to take a couple of days off, needing the rest, might cycle with the kids tomorrow if it’s a niceish day.

[LoveVelo]

10.6 very steady miles today, building up to completing strava half Mara January challenge which will hopefully be last weekend of the month.
56.6 miles total.

[Undercoverbanana]

78.6 miles run so far in January. Can I add my swimming miles too?

[Undercoverbanana]

Sorry - just seen that I can. That's 82.6 miles then.

I walk 2 miles every lunchtime. 9 working days so another 18 miles.

Yay!!! That's my 100!!! I've done plenty of other walking too but not been adding that on. Will be doing 3 miles to my favourite pub and 3 miles back later today.

[atomicnotsoblonde]

Squeezed in an easy 5.2k...

38.8/961.2

Miles behind you all but still going!

Love first date went ok thanks! Am loving the treadmill, it's really worked out well for us.

[ShoopShoop]

Good work everyone. I'm lagging behind where I want to be, but never mind....will keep plodding on.

4.1 on Saturday
3.1 today

41.2/958.8

[LoveVelo]

4.5 today so 51.1 miles total.
atomicnotsoblonde that was a good update!
undercoverbanana impressive mileage there!

[Pinkponiesrock]

Running club last night so speedy miles, I feel these should count twice

Easy run this morning but plenty of hills. I’ve climbed almost 4000ft in my runs so far this year, I live in a very hilly coastal town, hills are not optional!

12 miles in total over the two runs,
54 miles for 2018 so far

[BitOutOfPractice]

I’m on 45km so still on target. My knees are feeling it a bit so rest day tomorrow

[atomicnotsoblonde]

5.3k after a long day at work. Love how running clears your mind.

44.2/955.8

On track

[atomicnotsoblonde]

A nice 6k... 50.2/949.8

It was nice to watch the snow coming down as I ran I the warm.. so pleased with my treadmill, it's made me beyond broke but I'm glad it's been worth it.
