Beautiful pictures GG but the icy pavements are the worst. Glad you didn’t hurt yourself. Well done EP almost there. First run of my marathon training today so no targets will try to trust the plan 🤞 |

Looking good EPix! Hmm does going for1200 next year mean you'll leave us here?!! Seems that "wet" is a general theme today. 3.8 in nasty conditions was pretty much ok gg. Yeah, I stuff my soaking shoes with paper from a TV guide now that newspapers have had their day in our house. However without paper/print from any source I'd be at a loss. Good thing I have three pairs of trainers available and one more new in a box. Two pairs are nearly finished! |

No newspaper here either for shoe stuffing so multiple pairs essential 1200 is the goal Steve but head still struggles to think I've done 1000 so I'll be here 😁 |

EP, I was joking, I don't expect you to take up Farmers Walking 🤣. Keep up the good work with your mileage. LL, good luck with your marathon training. What marathon are you doing? You may have already informed us, but I can't remember 😕 Laptop was a good excuse. Ironically, I passed the Monday Runners in my car as they were running back 🚗 Steve, I've got several pairs of trainers, and one pair of trail shoes. I only buy papers on Tuesday's and Friday' when I get my shopping 🛍 🛍 The usual Tuesday Farmers Walk this morning, and am looking forward to my birthday run tomorrow with the Wednesday Crew 😀 |

haha HS It's a great thing to do and as a kid I used to ride horses so never thought anything of carrying bales of hay in each hand or buckets full of water but I couldn't do that now I will pass 1000 on my run home tonight OMG!!! |

Happy birthday for tomorrow hillstrider. A premature well done EvilPixie for the 1000 miles. I've set next years target to 1000 miles and may well up it again when / if I reach it. I altered to 1500 after reaching the 1000 this year but so far this month I haven't ran. This morning was because I really cba'd, I have no enthusiasm at all for a run. I still need 144 miles to reach 1500 but it's only a number and I'm not too bothered. |

Thanks FF! I try not to put myself under pressure these days regarding mileage. I still record every run, and look at the league tables, but I don't run for the sake of it if I'm a few miles short. |

5miles on the still muddied trails but it was calm and 4c which was ideal really. Running is so hard for me and it was good to get home! I'm thinking that "real", continuous running days may be over but will delay final judgment until my tests in January and my subsequent appointments with clinic. I'm going to get 700 this year and not what I am used to! It may only be a number but because I don't race it makes for a more interesting thing to be doing.I'll go for and expect a 1000 next year but as a defined run/walker and hope that's not cheating on here. I do often run/ walk for the sake of it! After all these years it's ingrained into what I do to maintain health on all levels aside from the fact that my wife often tells me to "get out there" if I feel like slacking!! You've had the cba before haven't you FF? I hope the enthusiasm returns, your current total is fabulous, a nice 1400 would be good without needing to throw in 38 miles a week for 1500. |
