  • Probably not a rule - the only reason I can think for it to get deleted is that there might have been lots of threads about this in the past which have degenerated pretty quickly into moanfests, and admins are over it. Wait and see I guess. :-)

  • Sign me up for 120km this month. I have a half marathon on Aug 31 and feel like I need to up the distance a bit - wary of too much too quickly but hopefully that will be a good balance.

  • Yay, made my goal again. Many thanks to all the admins on this page, because pretty much the only motivation I had for getting off my butt and going on those runs in the last week or so was wanting to make my goal again. :-) June 3: 6.7 km June 7: 8.5 km June 9: 8.5 km June 12: 8.0 km June 13: 11.0 km June 15: 7.1 km June…

  • After almost a week of bleurgh I managed a run yesterday afternoon ... so nice to get out and it definitely cleared the head a bit, but the cold (for us) air meant that my nose was doing its best impression of a dripping tap for an hour or two afterwards. :-/ June 3: 6.7 km June 7: 8.5 km June 9: 8.5 km June 12: 8.0 km…

  • That's awesome, congratulations! I'm another with a goal of under 2 hours for the half - have to admit to being a bit jealous that you did it on your first. ;-) (My first one was last year, 2:03:39 which was good and annoying at the same time. :P)

  • One other thing (that I'm just getting my head around properly) - don't get too down on yourself if you put some back on - try to stayed focused on why you started in the first place. It's pretty easy to just drop the ball completely and before you know it, it's months down the track and you have a lot of work to do. I got…

  • The other thing you can do is remember your route, and map it out ("get directions") on google maps - tells you the distance, at least as accurately as a phone GPS. You can change it to "walking" so that footpaths etc can be chosen, and click and drag on the route to change it. If your start and end point is the same, add…
