Nell - great to have you back on the boards. You're encouraging words are always valued.
YTD: 945 miles. (1521.8km)
Nearly made it to 1000 miles at the half way point for the year! I wonder if I have any chance of getting to 2000 miles by year end? Campain for Melbourne marathon in October and a Gold Coast 50km event in December will certainly help! It might be close.
Ha! Hobie - Harmander and DadAgain are mad freaks... everyone else is normal
Thanks Donnie - glad to be back... and delighted to see your great progress so far!
DA - your total is spectacular! Good luck with the marathon on Sunday
I can't imagine anyone telling you to get lost, Harmander... hahaha!
senidM - I too ran in the rain today and found it delightful... your 6 with speed work sounds really good - much better than my steady plod that felt too much like hard work!
I'm feeling sadly detrained and I have Southport HM on Sunday... what's worse is I have a "big" night out on Saturday with curry and alcohol to honour a recently deceased and much missed work colleague. Despite Southport being one of the flattest courses ever and it originally being my target race for a sub-1:40 Half... now I'll just be happy to get round!
Today: 4.33 miles at 8:26/mi. but it felt harder and faster than that!
YTD: 629.93 miles.
Have Newark half and the Yorkshire marathon later in the year. I'm still hoping to hit 1000 by New Years Eve.
Well done Hobie1495 - Give Little Nell a run for her money - it is not a gender thing but you can't let a young girl beat you surely? lol
Good luck for the marathon on Sunday DadAgain - of course you can - every step counts. When I start collecting my Superannuation (in 760 days time - am not counting - honest) I aim to go and run in New Zealand and Australia in one trip, can anyone suggest a marathon in each within (say) two/three weeks of each other?
With another 12.1 miles last night I am less than 40 miles short of 1500 miles and slightly optimistic of beating Little Nell to that figure before the end of the year that she has challenged me to get to first.
YTD = 1460.87 miles.
As for everyone else, keep going, it's all downhill from tomorrow
- 18th Oct: AUS Melbourne Marathon (largest in Australia [still only 6,000 participants in the 42.2km event], finish with a lap of the MCG [hallowed sporting grounds])
- 18th Nov: NZ Queenstown Marathon (stunning scenery - mostly on trails but flat through alpine . A serious candidate for the most scenic marathon in the world I'm told....)
I was told that the Perth and Dunedin marathons are two weeks apart.
So far the only Southern Hemisphere marathon I have run is Mauritius which is never more than 200 metres from the ocean.
Sounds good.
Melbourne is a mid-week run then?
Thank you
June - 62.42
2017 - 453.36
Still neck and neck Andrew!
July - 3.1
2017 - 456.46
YTD = 1471.22 miles.
Definitely going to beat Little Nell to 1500 miles (all things being equal)
YTD = 1488.35 miles

And slipped just under 50, so another of this years targets ticked off. Onwards and downwards (times that is) and hope for better at Felsted next week.
YTD: 576.74
Oi, Mr. Singh... stop goading "the competition"
Hey JR - very nice running by you. Your total is coming along nicely - as is your total Andrew! A couple of little internal thread competitions starting...
All the best for your HM and marathon training, Donnie - I have Chester marathon in October... we'll have to compare notes as the time gets closer
Well done on the sub-50 senidM - sounds like a very nice race. Good luck for Felsted next week!
Southport Half for me today. It was supposed to be a target race for me trying to get sub-1:40 as it's such a flat course. Unfortunately, life conspired to get in the way of that aim - mainly huge amounts of international travel and last night I was out in Manchester to celebrate the life of Ramesh. Fantastic curry, two pints, two glasses of Prosecco and (ahem) numerous shots - went to bed at 1:30 am and got up again at 5:45 am. Hotel failed to deliver any breakfast... in spite of this I managed 1:47:45, which is only 4 mins. slower than my PB - so I'll take that
YTD: 643.04 miles.
Some great mileage being logged lately.
Senidm, Great time for a 10K well done.
Andrew & JR, Wow its close between you, plenty of good runs from you both, keep it going.
Harmander, Nearly at 1500, great total well done.
Nell, 1.47 with no sleep and probably feeling a "little" under the weather, what a great run
I was planning a 19 miler for Tuesday, but due to a half hour delay first thing only managed 16.5 before a shower and getting to work, apart from that two training runs and a late 10K last night which was most enjoyable.
Stats for last week:
27.06.17 - 16.5
29.06.17 - 3.75
29.06.17 - 4.37
02.07.17 - 6.25
YTD = 575.58
So this week I have day 8 of the Great Barrow 10 in 10, really looking forward to it, hopefully get round in under 4.15 we shall see.
Thanks David - I was amazed at how not bad I felt... no hangover at all! Good luck with the 10 in 10 - hope you make your 4.15 target
Ran back from Pilates again tonight as a little recovery run - only 3.13 mi. but I feel very tired now.
YTD: 646.17 miles.
Harmander, I forgot to say - that's a great video about Fauja Singh, really interesting!
I ran at lunchtime today... on my own as both my usual running colleagues wimped out. I amused myself by doing one lap of the cinder track (0.37 mi.) fast, followed by half lap recovery,then reversing direction and repeating five times - much fun
YTD: 650.45 miles.
Little Nell,
Oh yes there is.
12.1 miles making
YTD = 1500.45 miles.
So I beat you to 1500 miles.
How about I try and catch up the 150 miles I am behind you in my chase to 2000 miles before you reach 1000 - If I beat you then I you owe me a bag of chips?
Deal?
Glad you liked Fauja Singh's video
Nice little session Nell. I did something similar (but on the road) last night - 200m fast, 200 jog, 400 fast, 400 jog, 600 fast, 600 jog, 600 fast, 600 jog, 400 fast, 400 jog, 200 fast. Including warm up and down, 5 miles.
So, 465.5 YTD (now 27.5 more than I had at this stage last year, but still about 45 miles behind the pro rata curve).
Work do tonight (driving luckily, so no hangover tomorrow), so no running.
