  • Almost lost track of where I am up to.

    Not been well for the past 2/3 weeks. Started with a really bad cold that meant I did zilch for a few days. Turned into my usual chest infection that I seem to get once a year :mad: so I wouldnt be surprised if I am falling behind target.

    16 - 22 Oct ........12.6 miles :eek:

    Oct 30 _ Nov 5th.......24.89 miles

    I seem to be a week missing somewhere but looking at what Ive been doing, I dont think it will make much difference.

    Still dont feel 100% but need to get back to being active again. Feel so sluggish.
    Make £10 a Day Feb .....£75.... March... £65......April...£90.....May £20.....June £35.......July £60

    Ooo Kantankarus that sounds rough:(. Hope you feel better soon and get some more miles in. You'll still be close even on average weekly miles.
  • Thanks Buglet...........to be honest I feel like I need a rocket up my ar*e. Got a couple of days off work and even a short half hour walk seems like a mountain.

    Probaly takes a while to get back up to speed after being ill. Push but don't push too hard. The world will not end if your mileage is 1900, just mildly irritating. I should just make it, but if I'm ill, I'll be derailed as I don't have much of a buffer.

    Impotant thing is that the challenge has made you move more overall. :j

    So far this year ive run 1,490 km (so I'm not on course to run 2017 km this year, unless I run 10.5km EVERY DAY)


    Its not going to happen but just like @Bugslet said the challenge overall has got me moving more
    I have a tendency to mute most posts so if your expecting me to respond you might be waiting along time!

    47.9 miles this week for me. Largely helped by a 27.5 mile race yesterday.
    1,839.4 miles for the year to date.

  • I have been cracking on again this month and I am almost at my revised target, probably middle of next week sometime.

    49.2 this week, total now 1781.7



    back up to a more comfortable 50.93 mile lead as I’m about to start heading towards another busy period at work!

    Ahead of me, SplanK, I'm on 1743, so I've a five mile buffer and the next two days will be poor.

    Still not doing too bad. At least you are ahead for the moment and there are 7 week left (inc this one) so plenty of time!
