Happy New Year all.

Very delicate today. Managed 1 mile around the block!

So for me- 1 Down. 999 to go

[LoveVelo]

Good to see the progress that's being made!
Busy week working away so 4 days off, usual 4.5 mile run yesterday so total now at 55.6 miles.
Still snowing here today, some great strava photos have already been uploaded by some of the people I follow who have already been out today. No sign of it stopping so off for a snowy run in a bit and will just see how it goes.

Hope it went well Love and wasn't too slippery.

I squeezed in a 6k today, rest day tomorrow.

56.2/943.8

Nice snowy 12k yesterday, bringing my annual total to 51k. A little bit behind where I want to be, but not disasterous. Got a couple of decent runs planned this week. Don’t think I’ll catch up, but I shouldn’t fall much further behind.

117.7 miles run in January so far. Really cold, snowy 15 yesterday and my face is still burning. Speed is coming back and endurance is improving (absolutely bolloxed a couple of evil hills yesterday - so pleased).

[LoveVelo]

Thanks atomicnotsoblonde. Actually really enjoyed yesterdays run, snowy but running on lots of very quiet roads so not too slippery. Was cold, but invigorating! 11.2 miles completed so total now at 66.8 miles.
undercoverbanana, endurance improving for me too, but can't say the same for speed! (Still plodding on!)

Great to see lots of miles & km on here. I’m finally off the sick bench and got back out for a 10.5k run today which felt good if a little puffy up the inclines as I’m still bit congested.

Jan total now 57k

[SkiGirl007]

I’d like to get to 80k by the end of the month as my original goal was 90k but winter bugs have knocked that off schedule abit.

[CottonEyeJosephine]

Lunchtime run yesterday and ran my commute this morning so my total is now 62km. Will finish the month a little behind target, but shouldn’t be too far.

[atomicnotsoblonde]

6.2k this evening... 62.4/937.6 to go!

Actually enjoying it so much more that I thought

[SkiGirl007]

Squeezed in quick 5k between work & picking up kids

63k total only 937 to go...eek

[Undercoverbanana]

133 miles run. 12 miles on a school night. Loving this.

[SkiGirl007]

Wow banana your racking up the miles well done. I’m in awe how you fit them in

[Undercoverbanana]

Skigirl007 - my children are grown up!

[LoveVelo]

skigirl007, glad youre feeling better!
atomicnotsoblonde, apparently after a couple of months, it should feel like a habit! I've been running off and on for the last few years now (alternate between running/ cycling being favoured) and must admit, joining the challenge has helped.
I'm starting to enjoy distance more now, same boat as undercoverbanana, DC off at uni now, so am able to put more time in to running, although I'm also impressed at your totals!
7.9 miles yesterday, nothing today, so total at 74.6 miles so far.

[atomicnotsoblonde]

Wow you lot are all counting in miles 😱😱😱 #imafraud

I'm going with the mantra than km is better than the sofa! . Totally agree about the challenge, it's definitely keeping me motivated.

6k tonight

68.4/931.6

[atomicnotsoblonde]

6.2k

74.6/925.4

It's gin time 🍸

[CottonEyeJosephine]

Only time for a short 4K today, new total 66km.

[SkiGirl007]

5k wet run this morning. Tried doing speed intervals but found it hard going fuelled by toast I should have stuck to porridge.

Total 75k on strava

[SkiGirl007]

Oops 65k on strava must have miscounted somewhere

[atomicnotsoblonde]

6.2k

80.8/919.2 to go

Nice run today. In better news, I have a friend with a sensible older daughter who is willing to babysit for me!! Unlike my parents who seemingly wish to punish me for leaving my violent ex

I may actually manage to get out a couple of times this year! 🍸

[LoveVelo]

Glad to hear your update atomicnotsoblinde, here's hoping onwards and upwards!
8.1 steady miles yesterday and a day off today with a nice walk to stretch legs, 82.7 total and hoping to do a longer run tomorrow.

[LoveVelo]

Sorry, that should be atomicnotsoblonde even!

[Pinkponiesrock]

Been struggling with a cough for this past 2 weeks so it’s been lots of steady plodding for me.

Managed to keep the miles up though and now on 87 miles for the year, climbed over 2000m while doing these miles too!
Love it when I get a challenge completed badge from strava, going to try and see if I can get a full year of them.
It’s impossible to avoid hills where I live, even our flattest 5k route has over 140ft of elevation.

[LoveVelo]

pinkponiesrock, it's always steady plodding for me!
Glad to hear you're recovering as well as still managing to get the miles in.
Managed a long steady run today, 15.6 miles so got my strava half mara challenge badge!
Was on 82.7 so with today's run now at 98.3 miles.

[SkiGirl007]

Another one here who was out for a long run today, 12m/19k which nearly finished me off! I had to run 0.25k past my house up hill to hit my target which was horrid.

Total now 84k this month.
