January Challenge Complete ✔️ & Over 700 Runners at our Parkrun Celebrations 🎂

[AliHC]

January is over and I'm happy to report that I completed my personal challenge to myself to "Run 50 Miles in January" 😊🏃🏼‍♀️ In fact, I actually ran 66.58 Miles! 😛 I honestly thought I would struggle to complete this one due to work commitments, but I managed to do most of my long runs at the weekend 😊

And today I did my 4th Parkrun at my local park 🏃🏼‍♀️ It was an extra special one today as it was the 7th Year Birthday of Hillsborough Parkrun Sheffield 🎂 Over 700+ runners, plus children, babies and dogs! It's quite a sight when everyone sets off! The front runners have pretty much done a lap before the back runners even cross the Start line 😂 I absolutely LOVE the solitude of running on my own, but I have really enjoyed the madness and mayhem of the 4 Parkruns I've done so far ❤️

So, what's my challenge for February? It was going to be 60 Miles, but I seem to have done that already!? 🤔 Mmmmn?

And there I was only last year worrying about Week 5 and running for 20 Minutes! 😂

Happy running everyone! 🏃🏿🏃🏼‍♂️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️❤️😊

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to AliHC]

I'm good. Thank youx

I did manage 93 miles in December for a Marcothon.

But then hit the IC...but now back on track for my HM in March xx

[AliHC Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Woowzers! 93 miles! That's super human 🤸🏼‍♀️ Well done! Good to hear you're back on your feet again! Good luck with the training! xxx

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to AliHC]

Not really..it has to be at least 30 minutes or at least 5K every day...😉

[RunningMigster Graduate]

Congratulations! What a great feeling to hit your target!

I think I need to set some. I've 610k for the year. But I think I need to work on monthly targets too.

Happy running!

[AliHC Graduate in reply to RunningMigster]

Thank you RunningMigster 😎

Your 610k is a great achievement! If my maths serves me right, that's about 5k three times a week! 🤔

Hope your 10k plan is coming together? X

[RunningMigster Graduate in reply to AliHC]

Fingers crossed! My target should be very achievable. But as this will be my first full year of running (cant believe I only started in October), I'm going easy on myself 🤣

[Wenderwoo Graduate]

Well done! Loving the medal 🏅😁

[AliHC Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Thank you Wenderwoo ❤️

How are you doing? X

[Wenderwoo Graduate in reply to AliHC]

I’m doing ok at the moment 🤞🏼I’m back to where I was in the plan before IC, so 8 runs to go before graduation (hopefully). Not that I’m counting or anything. That Parkrun sounds interesting - and 700+ runners, that’s immense!

[AliHC Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Good to hear you're back on your feet again! Enjoy you last 8 runs 🏃🏼‍♀️

I'd love to see an aerial view of the park when there are that many runners! They form a ring all the way around the park!

[Jazzyrunner Graduate]

Wow that’s phenomenal, well done! Beautiful medal too 👏🏻 So go on then, what’s your February challenge going to be??? Mine’s a very modest “get to 10k” 🤣 but for you - the sky’s the limit 😎🏃🏼‍♀️

[AliHC Graduate]

😂 hahaha! I think I'd like to get another 60 Miles in?? Although there are less days in February! And I'd like to do a 10 Mile run!!!! If I can do that, then I might consider doing a Half Marathon!!!!!!

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to AliHC]

Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhh!!!!!! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏃🏼‍♀️xx

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to AliHC]

I can’t remember, are you on the Race Support group on here too? xxx

[AliHC Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

Oh yes! I keep forgetting to go there! 😂 xxx Thank you for the reminder ☺️

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to AliHC]

Thank you very much buzzards 😊

How's your running going?

[buzzards Graduate in reply to AliHC]

Not too bad, I restarted Couch25K after a year off. I'm taking it slowly
