TT: Keep going. You're finishing well.
Cal: A half. Well done. Enjoy the aside both dental work and roller coasters.
Since last posting its been 5,5,6.4, park run and 7.2
YTD: 1205.1
Back on the TM, very cold in the garage.
YTD: 966.17 (33.83....)
TT... Returning to Oxfordshire yesterday, I might be forced to re-think 'outside-running'! Our road and pavements are lethal; ice and snow have not been cleared. Can't afford a fall!
Play safe everybody!
Just a very short 3 miles tonight...only landed on my arse twice...no damage done...well might be a bruise on my bum.
1074 miles YTD

MrMr2 the police have said essential journeys only up here now, snow, ice and bitterly cold. But the sun is shining and it's beautiful from sat on the sofa.
So, back on the TM, WU and WD and 6.2miles between 10 mm and 8.13 mm.
YTD: 973.19 (26.81....)
1078 miles YTD
1082 miles YTD...aiming for 1100 by Christmas.
First run of the week for me was one of the few parkruns operating in London, Wanstead Flats (I've run it before in dry conditions...today it was snow!) Not very fast, therefore, but absolutely stunning.
YTD: 1531
My local park run was on this morning (Doncaster). Course is probably 80% grass / 20% paved. Everywhere was heavily frosted but no laying snow and definitely safe. Big shout out to the marshalls. No cocktails last night for me, but it was the work 'do'. After some decent Turkish food, ended up in a couple of dubious pubs before making my exit about 10:30pm. I really like the people I work with, but by that time, I don't think I was going to be missed. Held my time back a little but enjoyed the morning.
5.0, 7.3 and this mornings park run, making
YTD: 1220.5
Donnie I am amazed Doncaster went ahead, you must have much less than we do.
Hobie cocktails do look good.
TM again, started with three tee shirts and a down gilet, was a mile in before the gilet came off, not saying it's cold, but it seriously is cold!!!
YTD: 980.2 (19.2, going to see if I can do it before we head off on Thursday).
Well done Donnie!
I did the Mince Pi run today - it was a lot less snowy out in Guildford area than in London. It's a 3.14 mile trail course and you can do as many laps as you want (well, up to 10). I did 3 and that felt like enough - there are some seriously tough bits including a very steep climb which I went up on hands and feet the first time (just feet the next two, when I was a bit more confident). The rest I did at chatty pace with clubmates, so it was more of a fun run than a race. Garmin made it 9.59 miles but I'm going to round up to 10 for the purposes of this as I never count the .1s of my parkruns so I've more than earned the difference.
YTD: 1541
Not a good week: weather shortened nearly every run...and chest infection shortened the rest. Back on anti-biotics as of a couple of hours ago. Will struggle to get my 100 miles in for December, having managed it the other eleven months.
And wasn't pleased on Saturday: got a message at 8:02 to say that parkrun was on. Got there at 8:35 and they cancelled at 8:38. Went for a short run with a couple of people and one fell quite badly. Fortunately ok, but not sure why they even considered putting an event on. All the other local ones were off...including one cancelling at 8:50!
Cal: I don't know why you never count the decimals in your runs. They must surely add up to 50 to 100 miles a year!
YTD: 1290.8
Missed two parkruns, one through illness as was keen to be able to race direct our Dawn To Dusk (results and short commentary below) and the other due to cancellation. Am stuck on 397 but as there are parkruns on Christmas Eve & Christmas Day I should get tp 400 on New Years Eve.

Not sure if I can get to 2000 but will try.
At our D2D, Nathan Montague's 48 laps (of 2.014km = 96.67km) in 7 hours 56 mins and 5 seconds was bettered by Jose Rodriguez in 7 hours 51 mins and 23 seconds.
Two women beat the first male at the marathon distance with Charley Jennings also beating the previous women's best time (Julie Holloway 3:38:50) by finishing in 3:36:24. Results show four women in the top seven finishers. Well done ladies.
The new Team Ultra (25 laps) was a close affair with Eaton Manor Ladies Who Lunch (4:31:02) beating East London Runners Samosa Eaters just 40 seconds behind. The first five relay teams were all ladies.
The full results with lap splits can be seen here:

If anyone is interested you can try our Summer equivalent (starts at 10:00am until 6:00pm) on 11 June
Alehouse it all depends on timings.id I can do it before Thursday, but def by the end of the year.
Cal I agree with alehouse my point somethings add up to a lot over a year.
Short and sweet on the TM this morning, quite a lot warmer, only three tee shirts!
YTD: 984.32 (15.68)
Cal: I'm very much a counter of the 0.1s etc, something along the lines of 'looking after the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves'.
7.5 last night. I'm tempted to check may numbers in these 1000 mile threads, suspect I might be just heading to a pb.
Ytd: 1228.0
Don’t know my mileage, prob around 900, been a hard time for my wife so as they say s**t happens, on my way back to the sun and hopefully some miles.
Thanks TT, we do our bit for ordinary and extraordinary runners alike.
8.86 miles today
YTD = 1912.14 miles
Not feeling the love for running this morning, back on the TM and I am amazed I lasted as long as I did. So the trainers will be going to Cumbria!
YTD: 988.34 (11.66......)
Dubai, sorry to hear your news - such a rotten time of year for it, too. All the best to you and yours.
Harmander, I'd worry about temperature in June with such a late start. Yikes. Well done to those runners, though.
alehouse, hopefully everything will have melted by this weekend - I am intending to do two parkruns while visiting! Which depends on whether my friend Colin wants to sleep in or not. If he wants to sleep on Christmas Day, I'll do Alex Park again as it's only a mile away. Otherwise I'll see if I can get him to take me to Worsley Woods. Saturday still undecided. I do still need to do Sale, however lumpy it is.
6 miles yesterday, in a T-shirt and sunglasses, which felt very strange after all the layers I was wearing at the weekend. I needed a bit more today (arm warmers) for 10 miles.
YTD: 1557
I've spent the last 5 days looking after in laws...FiL had a fall & MiL has advanced dementia...doing my bit until rest of family finish for Christmas....I generally lack sympathy so it's been fun.
Will get out for Winter Solstice Club run tonight though.
1088 miles YTD.
10.26 miles earlier today - perfect weather.
(15.81)
YTD = 1927.95 miles
TT... Almost there!
Dubai... Good to have you around again. Sorry about your family loss. Tough times indeed!
Harmander... Welcome back! D2D threw up some interesting results. Looks like you had a week off earlier in the month. Me too, what with travelling, coughing and unsafe running conditions (snow and ice)
Cal... Good to see you mixing up the distances again, Looks like you're setting yourself a busy end-of-year agenda.
Yesterday I got out for a 7' run, after 9 days! Did the same run today, but it took 3 seconds longer! Can blame it on the Flu jab earlier today. (Pace for both runs was 10:01/mile.)
YTD: 1797' .
I think last year with 1260 is the most I've ever done so in that territory again. Might edge past in although I lost the last two weeks of last year to toothache and covid so it might feel a little bit hollow if I get there.
Out, yep actually safe enough to run outside, for a quick run before hitting the roads.
YTD: 993.46 (6.54......)
A double training session of 7.25 and 8.25 miles today with groups who have secured a London Marathon place.
YTD = 1943.45 miles.
