Happy New Year everyone. Let’s hope and pray it’s better and we can get to resume a more normal life.

So here we go 500m in 2021 or of course whatever you’re aiming for. What are your goals? And don’t forget all inclusive here so no matter what you’re aiming for pop by for a cuppa and a chat now and then.

I can update the header with goals and hopefully add races when they return.

I’m going to attempt 100/month with a 100k race (Race to the Castle) in June I’m hoping I can do it & stay injury free.

New Year's Day was a good time to restart. I did contemplate a week before Christmas but the rib was still a bit tender.

OK, 1.1 miles is a bit naff but it's a start. The short climbs were much harder than I remember them. No imminent pain but, if all is well, I am going to try for a couple of runs each week to get my fitness levels back up.

I'm just thankful that the Brighton Marathon [if it goes ahead] will be in September instead of April as I might struggle to be fit in time otherwise.

I started the year with 4 miles this morning. It was cool and blowy but not raining or snowing, so that must be good!

Here's to hoping that you all have an injury-free, Covid-free, worry-free 2021, with lots of PBs in races or virtual events.

Sorry folks, the post above was from me, not GrandmaS (my wifey). I mistakenly still had her account logged in - the same laptop, different Fetch accounts! In fact she did 2.50 miles this morning.

Well done all those who have got started on their 2021 running.

I’ve not yet started my 2021 running. Maybe tomorrow...

4 miles done as the start to 2021. It took me almost as long to workout how to set my target miles as I did to do my run.

I’ve set myself a personal target which is to run, walk and cycle 500 miles each and to swim 1 mile. So a total of 1,501 miles for 2021. I’ve done this so that if things conspire against me I can increase one discipline to counter a fall off in another.

I’m thinking mainly that running is most likely go on hold as my knees are a little tender at times, so I’m expecting the worst at some stage in the future.

*EDIT* in the current situation we are not entering races but I think we can still log any plans we may have over the coming months, whether it is learning a new skill, ticking jobs off a list, moving house(!), doing alternative exercise, aiming for training hours instead of miles, writing to family & friends, finding inventive ways to be together virtually or even entering virus races please fill in the planner and I’ll update this thread and keep our little social group going to share our goals.

Everyone is welcome, whether you don't want to set an official target or you may be aiming further but still want to pop by for a chat/offer some words of wisdom or just because the door is always open and kettle is on.

(When you go in give yourself a colour so I know you're wanting to be on the sheet so I can keep it tidy)

If you update the race planner after I've updated the header drop me an fmail or a reminder (or 2) on the thread so I know to update. Thanks
