Challenge #4. Run 30 times in 30 days.

Day off for me today cos it's pouring with rain. One road out of town is cut off due to flood waters and the road to Narrabri is still open for another day or two hopefully. So no bike or run for me. Probably need a rest anyway, managed 8 runs in 8 days - even ran morning and arvo yesterday. About 42k over the last week which is a big jump for me. I like how this challenge has got me thinking more about my running instead of sitting on my backside. Longest run has been 14.2k and also has me running off the bike for a few k's for a change. Think I need to actually structure some of my runs better though instead of just getting out and running with no plan. Thanks for the motivation Alex.

16th point today. I'll run myself into an Ectomorph or an injury by Port. Don't care which.

I'm not sure if this is the best time of the year to do a challenge that gives bonus points for weight loss.
If the reverse where points are taken off for weight gain, going on current trends i'll be loosing 8 points before the challenge is over. Just cant say no to xmas pudding and custard.

Happy Eating

I just got the snip so my tally will stagnate a few days.

Wow, that is an extreme way to lose weight

Righto, 17 points til yesterday. Jumped on the scales looking for an 18th this morning but only a 0.5kg loss. Disciplined eating since this began but I have had a few beers on a few days. Running is thirsty work.

20 now. I feel like Forrest Gump.

18 points. Always seem to be chasing you Mick whether its in here or in the triathlog.

22 now.

So much for my rest day. I am going to have to run after dinner now. What happened to my two point buffer?

I forgot to add my run.
2 for me now!

12 points for me this week

First day of sunshine as it has rained for last three days. Floodwater now on the way from Tamworth!!!!

Anyway short ride and run off bike today. Still managed 4 runs for week with only one over the hour for another 5 pts.

week 1 8 pts.
week 2 5 pts
Total 13 pts

24. Dan B has been quiet today. Must be punching out another 4 pointer. First ever 80km week for me. Better have an easy one this week.

Two runs but only one point. Had to do a long ride otherwise Fluro would be pissed Cracked the 100 kms!!

Oh I back baby! Ran 20 min today. 11 points total.

Unreal effort. I can't image it. You had it covered by Saturday. Next winter I might have a crack at the 100km. I had to really focus to not pull the pin at 75kms.

Another 5 runs for another 7 points. Total = 14

Totally by acident though. Had no idea how many kms I had done. It was only after you put your total down did I realise it. The rain was the key. Each time I went to go riding it was raining so went for a longer run instead.

And to sum it up on Triathlog

Laconic much?

Mighty effort mate!

100 is indeed epic. Have been in the 90s before but not the magic 100.

i am at a total of 3 points so far!!
15 days, 27 points to get better get to it

I've got 16 points so far but had a few runs that came in just under 60, 90, 120 min. Will be making sure I run around the block one more time in future!

I racked up my 15th pt this morning, went for an easy 25min after an hr1/4 in the pool

Mick

Edit, make that 17, I couldnt stand the thought of sitting around all day watching the cricket so I did another hr this arvo.

7 points from running,
1 bonus for a race
3 other bonus points
