Happy New Year all.

Very delicate today. Managed 1 mile around the block!

So for me- 1 Down. 999 to go

9km run this morning and I’ve finally reached the 100km mark. So I’m about 15km behind. Not ideal, but I do have more opportunities to run once the mornings and evenings get lighter so hopefully catching up won’t be impossible.

SkiGirl007 · 11/02/2018 21:25

Yah first ever HM done today Smile despite the weather trying to de-rail us with wind and hail.

Total for 2018 - 127km

atomicnotsoblonde · 11/02/2018 22:35

Wow you're all doing fab runs! I like the countdown Love it makes me feel like I'm getting somewhere - albeit slowly! Rest days coming up Smile

SkiGirl007 · 15/02/2018 14:33

Struggled round a 5.5k with sore hips and legs post HM, but was good to get out.

Total: 132.5k

LoveVelo · 16/02/2018 09:11

Well done on HM 007!
Sounds like you had the same weather as we had where I live which put me off going out for a run, so extra kudos!
I'm toying with the idea of a super sprint duathlon in March to get me back on the bike.
5.5 miles on Monday, nothing since because of work but intend to go out today.

BitOutOfPractice · 16/02/2018 09:30

Am I missing something he only one not going for 1000? I'm aiming for 750. Little run last night 105 / 645

SkiGirl007 · 17/02/2018 19:42

Park run with my 6yr old today Grin

Total 137.5k to go 867.5...

SkiGirl007 · 17/02/2018 19:43

I did 750 last year bitoutofpratice so I’ve moved the bar this year Smile do what you want to

Tsotofamily · 17/02/2018 21:04

Hi all
Bit late but do you mind if I join, seeing how well everyones miles are adding up is really encouraging.
Ive only had my fitbit under a week so will try work out how many km ive done so far

atomicnotsoblonde · 19/02/2018 12:39

Thought I'd better get going again after a weekend of eating, drinking and fun in London! Grin

7km
146.2/853.8

LoveVelo · 21/02/2018 18:24

bitoutofpractice, second what has been said - do what you want to! I guess just setting a target (and one that suits you) just helps with the motivation, especially when you countdown and see your target diminishing...
Hi tsotofamily, hope you are getting on with your fitbit. You may find an app like Strava (or similar) helps as well.
atomicnotsoblonde, glad you had fun in London! A bit of R&R does no end of good!
Forgot to add up miles for run on the 12th, so would have been at 154 miles after that. Not been updating this week, but have been out a few times since last Friday. A long run then (9.3) and two more runs (4 and 4.2) with a hilly walk/ run (5) today so now at 176.5 miles.
Going to start using the countdown so:
176.5/823.5

SkiGirl007 · 22/02/2018 14:57

6k last night but was struggle to get the motivation to go out Smile

Total: 144k done

atomicnotsoblonde · 23/02/2018 10:16

Wow lots of miles and kms coming in! Well done all. I love the motivation of this thread.

I forgot to update Wednesday's run:
6km
152.2/847.8

I'm just trying to get myself motivated for one this morning, but I need a kick up the bum! I'm doing it though.. I've a new date next week and I've eaten drunk far too much! Totally worth it!

atomicnotsoblonde · 23/02/2018 11:29

And today's effort...

SkiGirl007 · 28/02/2018 17:22

Nothing for me since Sat as nursing a sore foot desperately hoping it’s ok by Sunday for a half marathon well the foot and snow clearance...if we get any Grin I must be one of the few places without! But Thursday it’s coming apparently and School will shut early....

atomicnotsoblonde · 01/03/2018 23:00

6km

171.4/828.6km

Snow day tomorrow as school is closed! ❄️❄️❄️

SkiGirl007 · 04/03/2018 15:21

My planned Half Marathon was cancelled due to snow so went out on my bike instead today as it was clear here now. 20k on the bike Smile done. But I’m not counting this km on the bike in my total just running ones but if my foot injury takes longer to heal I may have too Grin

atomicnotsoblonde · 08/03/2018 19:37

Like the back up plan Ski!

I've got two runs to add from last week. Going to try another little one tonight.

5.2km on 3/3
6km on 4/3

I'm now at 182.6/817.4

How is everyone else doing?

Step · 09/03/2018 12:17

Hmm may have a head start here:

Cycling awful weather only 335 since Jan1
Running grr measure in Km 180km
Swim in km 48

Roll on the easy miles of Summer.....

SkiGirl007 · 09/03/2018 20:02

I’ve switched to HITT sessions everyday this week as I can’t run on my foot, so it’s been 3x Shred dvd interspersed with mini HITT on other days. I may try out a 5k on Monday but my toe joint is still sore so I might have to stick to bike.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 09/03/2018 20:14

Oooh can I join? I started running in January, challenged myself to run 50k in Feb (which I exceeded!) and I’m hoping to run 75 in March. I probably won’t make 1000k this year, but it’s a great challenge.

My current totals are:
Jan 40k
Feb 69.5k
March 11 (so far!) so that’s 120km so far

Piffpaffpoff · 09/03/2018 20:19

Can I join! I’m trying for 1000miles on my bike. Currently on a stonking 5 miles thanks to a combo of flu, broken ribs and bad weather. Yikes! All the cycle paths still have snow drifts on them so I’ll have to wait a bit longer. Did 6 at spin class last night but I don’t count them!
