Logging my plodding to 1000miles 2012.....................

diddleyland

Ok i've been following logs on here for a while so i thought its about time to start my own!!!!!!

Goal for 2012 is to complete 1000miles this year break 5 hours for the marathon and break 60mins for 10k

I know these are extremely slow times for most people but thats why i'll be plodding my way to 1000.....

Anyway first session of 2012 a nice 3.1miles in 31.30 happy with that start to the year even happier that i was only in the door a few minutes when the hailstones came:D

looking forward to a happy, healthy year of running :rolleyes:

As one who passed 1,000 miles on 28th Dec welcome to logging-land. If you stick to logging, the motivation and the support you will get here will see you through.

Best of luck and keep healthy!

I've been toying with the idea of doing Coole Park myself...more unlikely than likely at the minute but you never know.
Best of luck with it anyway

ridiculously bad week only ran on monday:mad:

not injuried or anything just no motivation!!!!

starting back into the swing of things tomorrow and from there on i'll be flying it!!

so i'm going to decide on a plan tonight and stick to it!!!

A plan is a good thing, though it needs to be flexible to allow for "real life".

Maybe pick a target race and work towards that. If you have a specific goal it may help to keep you motivated.

Good luck with your training.

Had the exact same problem back in Oct and Nov, between finishing a HM programme and starting on FM programme, just no motivation at all so i would defo look at getting some sort of programme as once i started back i was fine again.

Good Luck

diddleyland

thanks for the encouragement

have my flexible plan will stick to it will have to jiggle a few days around but that'll be fine..

5.19 miles on monday 23rd in 45.43, tues rest day

back in action tomorrow

feel now that i've got a plan it'll be a lot easier, working towards a sub 5 hour marathon in portumna in june but also doing the connemarathon with my friend but that is not a proper go at the sub five i'll prob only run 20 miles of it as a long run (hopefully i'll manage that much) then run/walk the rest!!!

anyhoow
