7.5 mile walk today

Struggled round 8 miles this morning to get to 20 miles for the week.
63 for the year, only 937 to go!

I've booked a half for next month so I need to start upping my long run distances. I let the distance slide towards the end of last year and I'm feeling it now.

Good running/walking next week everyone.

32km bike ride this afternoon on top of a v short 4k this morning to test things out. It was so lovely that I was disappointed it was over, but I'm trying to learn discipline and to stop before I get to the point I can't move.

cycling 74/930

Two lots of 7.2 this weekend, but my ankle is a bit twingy. Need a rest day.

We had a busy start to the week and then my knee started niggling again so I haven't run since last Sunday. After a few days of stretches my knee felt better today so I went out for a slow 10km. Felt great and my knee is only aching a tiny bit - so far so good.

46/1000 I'm running

Tailrunner · 20/01/2019 21:27

That should have said 46/1000 km running but it is true that I'm running them Grin.

amysaurus87 · 21/01/2019 02:28

32.61miles of walking done this week! Very happy with that especially as its been so so cold and I still have a million boxes to unpack after moving!

90.15/909.85 miles to go

I've worked out I need to do 18.5 miles a week to hit 1000 miles by 31 December... I think that is very doable!

mrbob · 21/01/2019 02:48

Wow amy that is amazing!

amysaurus87 · 21/01/2019 13:26

Thanks @mrbob it works out to about 4ish miles a day. It's pretty easy for me to do, as the only way my little boy naps is with a long walk in the pram! So I walk on average 5 miles a day!

Tiredemma · 21/01/2019 19:58

Great to see everyone sticking with it!

I did 6.5k tonight

Had to cut short my planned 10k this evening as it was getting pretty icy and slippy.

TriSkiRun99 · 23/01/2019 13:10

Lunch time 9k in 59mins Smile well pleased with that pace for me as it included 2km long slow gradient. Windy bitter cold but sunshine n blue sky was fab.
