1000 miles in 2023

My 2022 running is done. New year almost with us.
Time to start the annual challenge of 1000 miles in the new calendar year.
I've participated in this thread for several years and have found it a motivating, interesting and friendly group. If you're lurking, take the leap and join in. I think you'll enjoy the support.
Hopefully all the 2022 regulars will be with us again plus a few new names.
(Road or Tread Mill, they all count).

Track and trail count also!
First run of the year done. The weather is actually not too bad so out in the dark, it was lovely, lots of dog walkers, and people staggering home!!
YTD: 6.63
YTD 2.45
Local parkrun (which had a lovely water splash...three times through that was a wake-up) plus a 1 mile warm-up.
YTD: 4
And HNY everyone from me, also.
40 minutes d&d
YTD: 3.73 miles (6 slow kms)
Started with a nice squishy bit of coast path...threw in a wee detour up a waterfall...knee still not 100% but got 20 days until my first race of the year.
4 miles YTD
574 ft elevation
Happy to be with good company for another year!
Got out too late for my 14 miles and ended up in darkness...With the dazzling headlights of on-coming cars I was reduced to 'slow and stop' for the final miles. However, I was pleased to keep it going to the end.
YTD: 14' .
YTD: 18
DR you have reminded me that even 20 mins is worth doing.
Down in Cambridgeshire, very warm down here, so pavements, cars and lots of people. Actually it's really nice to have runners around!!
YTD: 12.86
9 miles YTD

(Actually my times for running are fitted in around Mrs M's needs. Today I was able to get out for almost two and a half hours as our daughter was around. Yesterday I had to pop in after the first loop and then complete the second half.)
TT... A good start to the year. (I don't do decimals because I can easily round things off with some loops of a local housing circle.)
Hobie... Thanks for the pic! Hope you can have an injury free start to the year! (Not just the start!)
Anyone seen Harmander?
Got out this afternoon in brilliant sunshine and light winds. Not many degrees above zero but ideal running weather...even with shorts.
Repeated yesterday's 14' run, and got much better results. (Only 43 seconds slower for the second half.)
Average pace for the 14' was 10:17/mile. Looks like tomorrow could be a rest day.
YTD: 28' .
Thinking about goals for the year. I've entered Manchester and Yorkshire marathons and will be pacing myself to dip under 4 hours.
Always happy to reach the 1000 mark but I'll also be looking at 100 per month.
Ytd:. 7.4
MrM2 - impressive.
Gym day for me today.
Happy with that and improvement over 2021...
2023 is marathon year ! Never done a marathon so setting some tuff goals to aim for. I'll be with you in Manchester and bagged a place for Snowdonia Marathon Eryri which I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to or not
So far this year just short of 16k !
Donnie very impressive to be wearing shorts. I might join you in Yorkshire, but in the 10mile, it does depend on the date of Scarborough 10km.
MrMr2 good start to the year with two 14 milers.
Hobie fabulous picture.
TM again for me, weather, well it's January in Yorkshire.......
YTD: 17.9
Ytd: 17.7
Today's challenge was to run a 5k route three times and keep it steady. (32:14, 32:52, 32:44)
(If I take the times of miles 2 and 3 from each lap I get 21:17, 21:16 and 21:13)
Added some local circles to round it up to 10 miles.
O'all pace for the 10 miles was 10:25/mile. Happy to have some sort of 'distance base' to work on.
Now to look for some quality!
YTD: 38' .
Nice club run last night, weirdly warm.
19 miles YTD
7 today. Legs a little tired towards the end, otherwise I'd have done some strides. I did squats yesterday, so that seems the likely culprit.
YTD: 25
I'm living in a different universe up here! Cold, wet and windy......
TM again.
YTD: 23.12
Had our share of wet and windy too; today was just windy.
YTD: 23.6 miles. All rather slow; hoping that is down to the time of year rather than age!
The two x 6.6mile laps were as steady as I've managed....66:00 and 66:10. Final average, for the 14 miles was 9:59/mile. Happy. (Age-grading was 69.97%)
YTD: 52' .
23 miles YTD

Alehouse I am putting my slow speed down to being more Christmas pudding and cake than human at the moment.
Hobie three newbies on a night like last night is amazing.
TM again, I am beginning to wonder if I should paint the wall in the garage.......
YTD: 27.74
TT, in the same boat as you! I am 75% dried fruit.
Hobie, nice one, let's hope they stick with it.
alehouse, hope 2023 brings better health eh?
Down to Kent for Mote Park parkrun today (plus mile warm-up). All on tarmac, which is why I picked it, though it was hillier than I expected.
YTD: 29
TT... Thanks. Making hay while the sun shines....so to speak.
Not much sunshine to enjoy this afternoon; got quite wet in the final two miles of my 8 mile slow run.
YTD: 60' .
TT: pre pandemic lots of my miles were TM at the gym, when normality returned I didn't go back, other things had changed, I actually miss it.
With family in Ipswich. Local park run, there, back and a bit of rounding of in a local housing estate added 7.
Ytd: 24.7
YTD: 44
