πŸ”₯πŸ”₯BOOM!!! We're on fire!!! 2020 kilometres βœ” 2020 miles βœ” We did it!!! πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

So convincingly have we met our targets, that I reckon we could double our 2020 km target - really, we CAN!!!

⭐⭐⭐ At time of writing this post we have a brilliant 3712 km (that's 2306 miles) in the pot!

We have another two days before the end of the year, before we say a final good riddance to 2020!

⭐ Do keep your 2020 pictures coming

⭐ Let's get ready for a final day relay on 31st

- can 31st be our highest daily total?

- can we make 31st a day full of 2020 runs and walks (20.20km, 20.20 miles, 2.02 miles?): an individual 2020 or find one or more VRBs and record a 2020 distance between you.

2020 is almost done!!! We are chasing it off in stunning style - a fabulous team effort πŸ‘

Keep logging your distances below - let's get our next 2020 in the pot πŸ˜€

Edit: even better (as suggested by Richard7 ), let's make our new goal 4084.4km - that's 2.020 x 2020!!!). We have two whole days - Let's do this!!!

Keep going!!!

Just back, it’s too icy out there still and I couldn’t break into a run at any point. Our country roads aren’t gritted. I did 1.5K but it took me 20 minutes πŸ˜‚ not worth the risk. I’m so disappointed as I was all ready to do my big one today ☹️ I even abstained from alcohol the last two nights - what a waste that was πŸ˜‚

Does anyone know how long Tailwind lasts after you’ve made it up?

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toIrishprincess

Ahh no! But as you say best to be safe, and there's always tomorrow. Not sure on Tailwind - I know the SIS Hydro tabs say they are good for 24 hours (although I've never tried it) πŸ˜€

How do I go about adding my miles to your collection? I was stuck self isolating over Christmas, a last minute Christmas present from my boss 😠 but managed 7miles on Monday and another 5miles yesterday.

That's exactly how you do it! There's a post each day where you can comment. I'm recording in kms so will put you down for 11.27 and 8.05 km (cos every bit helps!).That wasn't very kind of your boss, but hope he/she's ok!

Ooh I think it should be

2.020 x 2020 = 4080.4km.

Today I ran 3.63 and added a couple of extra walk sections totalling 5.35k.

I have recorded 7.68 for yourself and Boss Jr for yesterday. I have a separate entry going for Boss (3+1) which I am holding in reserve in case of emergency πŸ˜€. So where does the 31.52 sit? is it for everyone or is this the (3+1) also doing the 7.68? walk or something else perhaps?

Well my coldest run to date but still in shorts, part of route was treacherous so ran through long dead grass, other parts were clear - yay. However that's my final 10.1km run for 2020. (I've clocked an amazing 1380km this year having started c25k in August 2019). I'll have more walking kms to post by the year end, too nice to stay indoors. Happy running everyone πŸ€—

Hi everyone, I ran another 7km this morning by the seasideπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ A dog walker walked out in front of me with his dog on an extendable lead across the promenade, so a bit of hurdling practice was involved too!😑

Hi Linda, just a 6.07k dog walk to add from me today. πŸΎπŸ˜€

I’ll get out tomorrow and do something, but probably no more than a 5.05k run and a 5.05k dog walk - so if anyone wants to buddy up with me to make up 20.20k that would be great! πŸ˜€

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply tocheekychipmunks

I'll buddy up with you cheekychipmunks . I will try a short run if my hip is OK, and I can go for a walk to make up the difference. We will be packing up for my youngest to leave home on New Year's day so I will be in need of diversion. I've asked him - if I can't cope, will he come back. I didn't get the answer I was hoping for πŸ˜₯

Ahh thanks linda9389 that would be great! So 10.10k each, walking/running? πŸ˜€

Kids have a way with words don’t they? I’m sure they mean well (I hope they do anyway!) But I guess it’s all part of them being independent. I give my daughter β€œhelpful” baby advice - I did have 3 so I know a bit about them. It’s like I’m speaking in a foreign language judging by her expression some of the time! 🀣

Settled for 3.66k on the beach with Molly, which I think takes me to 20:20 overall. Bright sunshine and no wind made for nice walking conditions; I suspect that my usual trails will be very soggy!

I feel like a fraud following Hidden s contribution, but it's a 6.17km run from me today. That takes me over the 20.20km mark for the period of the challenge and a total of 56.79km for December, or just over 35 miles. I had challenged myself to do a total of 25 miles, so this group challenge had definitely encouraged me to get out and do a bit more. Thanks for organising!
