Thanks kitten ended feeling crap and drained all day partly time of the month so I should have known really. Hopefully I’ll bounce back tom for ParkRun,

Sometimes our bodies tell us really loudly that they don't want to be doing something. See how you go tomorrow. Good luck!

I've only just found this and I would love to join. According to Strava I've run 39.1km so far this month and Samsung health thinks I've walked 9.52km. I know I have walked far further with my bouncy collie but I haven't tracked it.

My local 10k race I was going to sign up for has a 30min limit for the first 5k which I just can't do, I've been running for 15 months now & it is too fast for me (I shattered my left ankle a few years ago).

I'm delighted I've found something else to aim for at my pace :)

5 miles this morning with parkrun in the middle. Best Time for nearly a year, so I'm well chuffed with that.

Long run tomorrow. Struggled a bit last week so joining up with some friends to keep me going.

@Tr1skel1on - find a different race. that's sounds like quite a speedy one, if they're expecting everyone to be done around 60 minute mark. There's loads of people in my running club couldn't do it.

Hoopaloop · 26/01/2019 18:13

25.7km this morning. 92km this month.

You did it TriSki :) well done!

amysaurus87 · 28/01/2019 02:25

41.36 miles of walking done this week! It would have been more but we had a fair bit of snow on Tuesday and I live at the top of a hill so didn't get out much on Wednesday.

Well done everybody, we’re doing really well considering the weather and the time of year:)

42km this week. A combination of running (7km), swimming (3km), cycling and walking.

Brrrr cold headwind on half of my long run today made it energy sapping so I didn’t go quite as far as I wanted to. 12.5k done. Had wanted to do 16k but listened to my groaning body instead Smile and cut it short.

Not been able to get out at all this week because by the time I get home from work it's been too icy Sad. Early dart from work tomorrow so going to out and hope the pavements are a little clearer.

No surprise I've slept badly all week and starting to turn to comfort junk food.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 01/02/2019 13:25

11km today and a new 10km Pb Of 56'56 within that.

146/ 854

Anyone entering the ballot for the Two castles 10km in Warwickshire?

TriSkiRun99 · 01/02/2019 19:45

Great time bear sounds like it was a good run. I went out for a quick 5k tonight but was feeling relaxed & DH had the kids so I carried on for 8k Smile nice end to a Friday. Hope to do ParkRun tom if the forecast -5c windchill doesn’t cause icy conditions.

Did 8.5km this afternoon out on the downs. It was snowing and miserable. I ended up soaked through. Think I've done 114km this year so far.

Terrible week for me, just 9 miles.

Roads too icy for runs with my club and all park runs close by cancelled.
99 miles for the year - so just on target. Hopefully it will warm up and i can get out more next week.
