I've never gone before because I used to do my long run on Saturday mornings, but now I'm doing it Friday I can go. I turned up right on time only to find a few people milling around,…

I wasn't sure if I would bother setting a mileage goal for March, I've been struggling lately with just getting out the door so ANY run is a good thing at this point! 01/03... 5.08 02/03... 8.05 Total 13.13 / 150 km I had grand plans to run 20km - it's my 40th birthday today (2nd March) and I liked that math, but I seemed…

Early in the week a family member decided they were basically going to blame many of the problems they've been having emotionally on me. That didn't go down too well with me and things got very…

Based on my mileage in January, I think I'll set a goal of 130km for February. I still can't see more than one week ahead of my training plan so I have no idea if this is realistic or even what I have in store for the month 🤷 @Avidkeo thanks for setting us up! For me personally, I had the same goals as you - I wanted to…

@quilteryoyo I just zoomed the RTW map all the way in and it actually has us running right through my work building! I don't think anyone wants a picture of that though so I'll make sure to take some scenic shots when we get to NZ :)

I'm running late for work again so no time to comment…

@TheMrWobbly I see we made it across the Channel and are back in France :) I keep meaning to go through my photos to pull out pictures of my travels as we pass through each place to post them here, but I haven't quite managed to get around to it. How much easier do we have it these days with digital photos stored on our…

It was just one of those days where I couldn't be bothered. I was tired and…

@AlphaHowls Ouch, I hope you're feeling better after your fall @polskagirl01 -19°C!! Now that is cold! I don't think it has ever dropped below 4°C where I live and that has me bundled up and firmly indoors @elearnorhawkins Love the positive attitude and great job running on stones - that's not easy! @Faebert Hope you're…

I'm back to work today after a blissful two weeks off work @Avidkeo Great time on the 5k! @Scott6255 Excellent work on the HM…

@TheMrWobbly another vote for Garmin. I've had a 235 and 630 both refurbished from Amazon which worked very well. I upgraded to a new 245 music model a couple of months ago and love it.

The forecast was for rain which I was very much looking forward to as opposed to the 100% sticky humid weather we've had lately. I woke up to no rain so I waited a bit, but then it started…

01/01... 10.12 04/01... 4.20 05/01... 5.41 06/01... 5.22 07/01... 4.02 Total KM 28.97 The plan called for cadence drills today which is a target of 187 - 200. That's pretty much where my natural cadence is anyway so it was basically a normal run but with more mindfulness to keep my legs turning over fast. I need to spend…

I'm flying to Wellington shortly, taking my Dad for a day trip. We're heading to our favourite Chinese restaurant for Yum Cha lunch - hence the extra run. Then doing a tour at Weta…

01/01... 10.12 04/01... 4.20 05/01... 5.41 Total KM 19.73 100% humidity and hot today. Garmin also called my run "unproductive"... meh @Avidkeo thanks for the GPS tip, I got my map back today so it seemed to do the trick

01/01... 10.12 04/01... 4.20 Total KM 14.32 Short run today, the plan called for 3.2, but my Zombies Run episode was 4.2 so that's what I did. For some reason my GPS didn't work for my run so I don't have any map/elevation or segments on Strava which is kind of annoying. Just as I finished my run I got the 'GPS ready' beep…

@TheMrWobbly That's so cool! I'm looking forward to seeing all the places we run this year @quilteryoyo Those are great goals @VictoriaK1993 That's a great starting goal. I also began with the C25K program several years ago and it was the first time I ever completed a "program" from start to finish before. I moved onto…

@martaindale Fantastic HM, and that medal is huge! @Teresa502 Great job on the race, congrats on winning your AG @katharmonic Stunning photos! @libbyralls I used to use an arm band - I think just some generic brand off Amazon, but found it either chafed or slipped (not to mention the really bad tan lines it created :| ).
