Gobi
Morning

Thank you for the Christmas wishes.

It is done, 1501 as of this morning and my last chase of a yearly mileage target in my trainers is done. I have 24 left to hit 100 for another month. I think I missed 2 in 2018 after my bike crash but have trained consistenty since being persuaded to do some pace making in late 2013.

Life has however changed and although running will always be a part of it September (blog available) made me sit back and review my focus. I just don't have the desire to run so will drop away to an if or when model where it no longer matters if I don't.

I really do wish everyone all the best in the years ahead, many of you will see me at events or on the forum somewhere.

Well done westmoors and Gobi bunting

Gobi, it’s been great having you on the thread - I read your September blog at the time, and can understand why your focus has changed - I wish you all the best, and hopefully will still see you around Fetch somewhere (and maybe even at real life events when those return).

Well done on achieving the target Gobi. You will be missed here, but I totally understand why you need to drop the goals.

I've never reached 1000 miles after 5 years of trying. This year got to 1300. Aiming to join your gang in 2021 😊

That’s an impressive increase in mileage this year, TBR. I’ve never targeted 1,500 miles before. I’ve aimed at somewhere around the 1,200 mark. I might change my focus next year too. Well, after I’ve finished my quarantine that is. ;)

Here’s my photos from my last run of the year [from Playa Del Ingles to San Agustin beach and back]....











Takes me over the line for 1,500 miles in a year for the first time ever! Very pleased with that. :)
