+38.7 this week for me breaking me into double digits to go! (1920.1 done, 79.9 to go)


Would have been more but I ate sooooo much over the weekend and spent most of the afternoon in the pub yesterday with family!


Still on target for finishing in 2 weeks though! Anybody else starting to find that they are hitting the preverbal wall when going reasonable distance? Used to be a doddle, but really starting to find my legs are saying 'nope, no more'!

I've had achilles tendonitis all year, changed footwear, so I'm probably doing better than I was at the start of the year!

Old fashioned laziness.


I'm on annual leave for 1 month starting this Wednesday (i.e. ive only got to go to work tomorrow) so I think ive just got lazy knowing I will have no excuses over December.


Ive been fairly good this year with exercising every 3days and taking a day off and not over doing it even when I felt I could push harder.


I did manage a fairly easy 8.5 km run today so I'm hoping the last two weeks was just a blip.


I'm aiming for 45 km this week

Thats good to hear!


My legs are going to go down fighting the last 80 miles... tonights walk flaired up my shins again (probably because I had yesterday off, I always find the first walk after a rest to be painful recently) so ended up slowing right down and cutting short

You could get started moving now so that by the time the New Year starts you will be well up to speed

36.52 miles to add for me .

Theres no way I will reach 2000 but it will be interesting to see how far off I am.

Perhaps you need to stretch a bit more before and after your walks, I know it helps me.
