    Hit the 3,000 mile mark, just as I crested the top of Killiney Hill (unplanned route), as my mp3 player randomly served me Pink Floyd's 'Any Colour you Like' from Dark Side of the Moon. Random awesomeness.

    Well I'm not sure I will ever be up there with the multi-millenium-milers at the top of the table, but I did become a multi-millenium-km'er today :).
    Just passed 2,000k during juvenile training this evening. That's by far my biggest output in a calander year and should have me over 40% up on last year.

    (I just needed to tell someone!)

    That's amazing, I've just seen your home page for the first time and SixMilebridge report is classic. I wish I was a rubbish marathon runner like you!

    Got past 1000 miles today. Its my first year running and really enjoyed it and met all targets I set myself (finish a 5k, 10k and HM and 1000 miles). Only one downside really - pulling out of DCM at 22miles with knee injury.

    Looking forward now to 2013 and beginning to think of new goals.

    Hows it going everyone?

    Newbie runner this year, entered a few races (pb's 5k 24.13, 10k 48.34, 10mile 81.19, HM 105.05)

    Planning a serious ramp up in training from now on, have joined in with a club, and intend to follow Hal Hidgeon Intermediate plan for Connermara HM with a view to progressing to DCM2013.

    Will have a nice shiny Garmin from Xmas day onwards to log the miles so intend to take part in your 2013 spreadsheet. Have gleaned a lot of good info from this board and the training logs, it's a great resource. Well done to all.

    The average weekly mileage figure is wrong on the "enter distance here" sheet (it divided the miles by 43). It's correct on the "positions" sheet, though.

    It's going to be touch and go if I make it to 1000. I have a lot of drinking to do over the next few weeks, don't know if I'll be up for running!!

    correct now. changed from lol
    E2/43
    to
    =IF(E2=0,"",E2/((today()-date(2012,1,1)+1)/7))

    looking at the estimated 1000 mile date
    =if(F2>1000,G2,IF(F2=0,"",date(2012,1,1)+ROUND(1000/(F2/((today()-date(2012,1,1)+1))))))
    lol I must have been smoking something when I wrote this.

    It's one way to guarantee job security when no one can see what the hell is going on including yourself :D

    Whoever change Ray_lanigan to W35 has mileage envy :)

    Im nearly there, did 9.5 miles last night and the night before so i have around 20 mile to do.

    Will cap a great year for me. 1.27 in the half, 3.13 in the marathon and scrapping over the line in the 1000 mile challenge!

    Dont think Im going to make the 2000 now. Struck down with a nasty chest last 3 weeks more or less. Clearing now but just cant see myself getting 75 miles in over the next 10 days. Still a big jump on last year though so cant complain.

    Was unsure if I was going to do it but I went past the 1000 mile marker today on a 15m hill run up to the windfarm in Kilchreest. Bloody windy way to do it (pardon the pun) nasty day out.

    Delighted overall. Last year was 350 for the year so a big jump. First ultra & first marathon (in that order strangely) plus I have obliterated my PB's. Somehow I think it won't be as easy next year to get the same improvements.
