Started my year long running goal of 1200K in a year, stage one on my Garmin challenge is 300K from January to March.. January I had covid and didn't run for ten days 😯

February my sister was ill and I had to go look after her,I missed some running daysπŸ™„

So this month I've had a bit to make up, so been running constant 12Ks trying to make up the distance πŸ˜…

So I've one left, thank goodness there's 31 days in this month 😁

So Thursday I hope to complete stage one πŸ™

Lovely morning run today, enjoyed that one πŸ˜β˜€οΈπŸ₯€πŸŒ»πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Happy Running all πŸ™ŒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒ

Well done Caroline on nearly completing stage one of this year's 1200K challenge on running 300K in the first 3 months of 2022 despite those setbacks, congratulations.

Done a 12K round the Elder Park in Saturday Al.. that was many loops, nearly sent me dizzy 🀣

Congratulations on completing that 12K, perhaps you ran around it 12 times if the loop is only 1K long, there are suggestions that a parkrun might start there sometime, just a suggestion, however, I think that Elder Park is too small for a parkrun to take place.

Loops are about 1and a quarter K , but I agree it's a bit small for parkrun, it would suit me great though when I visit family πŸ‘πŸ˜Š

When you are in Scotland you could run a parkrun at Queens Park or Pollock Park, Pollock Parkrun is just up the M77 near Govan, also, Victoria Park parkrun isn't all that far away on the north side of the Clyde, a short car journey through the Clyde Tunnel.

Interesting, this morning I ran my 21st 10K in preparation for the London Vitality Virtual 10,000 in early May.

Good morning Caroline, that 10K in June is mainly for club runners, unless you can run 10K sub 60 minutes there is a danger you could come in last, no harm in that but if you want to run, good luck. πŸ‘

Have a look at the 2019 results, not many runners ran +60 minutes.

Well done! I struggled to get those quarterly run challenges last year.

Due to doing RED January, I ticked that challenge off during February! Conversely, due to doing RED January, I've completely missed out on the associated walking challenge.

You only need to do a little more to get this.

Nowster, during these quarterly stages..if I were to run more in next said stage than the 100K would the excess carry forward?

nowsterMetric Marathonβ€’ in reply tosparky66

Nope. It resets back to zero with a totally new challenge.

Well done sparky66 ! It's great when challenges like that motivate you - I tend to get a bit obsessed and it doesn't do me any good, so I'm mostly avoiding them now. Enjoy your running!

Ah go you! Sadly I think I’m going to be a couple of k under unless I run a HM and more tomorrow, and I don’t have the legs for that right now. Feel free to run some extra k and throw them my way!!! 🀣. Enjoy your last run of the month 😊😊😊.

It's been a mad running constant 12Ks πŸ˜‚Was in Glasgow over the weekend, train home on Monday was rammed, πŸ™„

Today I actually had to nap after sleeping for 8 hours..I took a LF thinking god I've caught Covid πŸ₯Ί

(Same situation happend in January) ☹️

But tested negative 🀣

Just over thinking something will stop me making that last one tomorrow 🀣🀣🀣

But It shouldn't be about the sats..I keep telling myself 🀣

I'll be due for an injury... and you'll be running happily 🀣

Enjoy the remaining time on your holiday πŸ₯°

I’m sure you will have a great run! I was on a packed Eurostar yesterday, but hopefully didn’t catch anything. Will try and go out in a bit but feeling really slow today 🀣. Best of luck! 😊
