Have got through my 65 mile target in each of the last 2 months - time to up it. Will go for 80 miles this month (even though it's dark, wet, cold and festivity ridden). Good luck all.!

Always good to get out for a run when away from home - hate being stuck in the hotel with only food and drink to occupy an idle body!!! But felt like such an effort last night - just couldn't get my legs going at any great pace at all - felt really slow. Hopefully better tonight! 4/11 4.35 5/11 4.25 (8.6) 6/11 6.23 (14.83)…

Brilliant Sunday run in the morning in the Scottish autumnal sunshine! Target completed for the month.

Good runs on Thursday night (very wet) and Saturday morning - feels like I'm getting back into it again. 2 runs tomorrow and 3 midweek runs planned when away down South next week. Looking to break through my target either tomorrow night or Tuesday night. Bring it on!!! 4/11 4.35 5/11 4.25 (8.6) 6/11 6.23 (14.83) 8/11 3.15…

Finished C25K in September and on Sunday I ran non-stop for 7 miles in just over an hour. Also, at the Scotland v England football match tonight, I will be wearing my kilt. It's the kilt I was given 26 years ago (for my 21st birthday) and I've not been close to squeezing into it since 2011. Happy days! :smile:

final attempt! June 2014 at 231lbs Sept 2014 191lbs

run / jog 4 miles

Tonight's effort was a straight "out and back" and somewhat annoyingly the prevailing wind had switched and the "back" part of the run was into the wind - I really should pay more attention to the conditions - never like running into a headwind on the way back! Ran alongside a dual carriageway using the cars and lorries to…

built up to 3 mins front (forearm) followed by 90 secs each side up until the Oct hols - haven't tried since I got back :( *note to self - must try harder!

Just ran outdoors (without stopping) for an hour - managed 6.66miles! (including a hill)

Great stuff! Love reading your progress notes. I completed the C25K programme in September and have continued to run (jog) since then. This week saw me run 10k distance (twice) - both round about an hour duration (and non-stop) When I think back to mid July when I started C25K and struggled with the jog 60secs part, I…

I will re-join this month and up my target to 65miles. Tough in the cold, dark and rain but I'm up for the challenge!

Apologies, I have only just "discovered" the world of Groups on MFP - saw this and couldn't help but add that since this thread started in August - I've lost 15lbs. Happy for it to be included. (It was 6lb more but I'm just back from a fortnight's poolside holiday...what can I say?!?)

thanks @fabnine. After a couple of late ones, I did get a few funny looks early in the morning too! Have now signed up for a 10k in late January to make sure I keep the running going through the dark, cold and wet morning and nights ahead! October was my first attempt at setting targets, so erred on the side of caution but…
