    Bit late to the party here but that's me through the 1,000, passed it in the lovely sunshine at port beach today! I'm a bit off the 2,000 mark for the year at the moment but hopefully with increased mileage for the Dublin 1/2 in September I can get it! :)

    Well done Pconn, i was at Port beach few weeks back, just stumbled upon it out for a drive one of the lovely sunny Sundays with picnic in tow...kids loved it...was hoping to get back to it, but so far the weather hasn't played ball....lovely place for a run!!

    Yeah, that's me across the 1000 mile line.
    An interrupted solo marathon yesterday morning became 2 halves instead, the 2nd of which I just finished tonight after work.
    Felt like the longest 21km ever.
    A big thanks to Robin for making it so easy to update the distance this year, and to everyone for making it so addictive.
    Next up, 2000miles before year end?

    Ahhh, finally broke the 1000 miles today. The table certainly helped to motivate me on days when I was feeling lazy, so thank you Robin.
    Onwards and upwards to DCM2012.

    For once I won't argue. But could you look why Ray's 2000 mile date doesn't show up in the positions sheet?

    Done, was some non-existent cells being referenced somehow causing the error.

    Phenomenal achievement. Mildly insane perhaps... but phenomenal nonetheless:cool:

    And I leap into 3rd from the bottom with a stunning 6.5km!

    :o

    Just put my current mileage on there. A bit late starting, but we'll see how things go.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,498 ✭✭✭Mothman


    Time to put me feet up for year :)

    Didn't reach 700 miles last year, so good progress this year.

    Couldn't enter date

    Passed the 1000 mile mark for 2012 this afternoon. This challenge was certainly a big motivation in getting out on the road and the estimated completion date was a great addition. Probably not enough time to reach 2000 by the end of the year but I'll have a go anyway :)

    Watch Out, closetotheedge....you're close to the....:P:pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 34 CS_Runner


    Reached 803 yesterday, I think I reached this point last year some time in October :)

    My name has been removed from the table, I can't remember exactly how many miles I was on - any chance one of the mods is able to undo this? Thanks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,771 ✭✭✭jebuz


    Yesterday evening I passed my total milage of 700m for the previous year, delighted! :) hoping to break the 1000 mark by end of September with the DCM training, keep it up everyone!!

    On 3 August you were on 137 miles. Just add yourself back in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,340 ✭✭✭TFBubendorfer


    Passed the 2000 :)

    Thanks TBF, thats great that you could do that. Congratulations on passing the 2,000 mark yesterday!

    New feature in google docs allows you to protect cell ranges so I protected row 1 as people keep typing in there. I don't know where else this may be useful but its a nice feature. It would also mean that say the locked sheet could be merged with the first sheet as you can just lock a row to one person and those who have control of the document if you know what I mean. Something to consider next year.

    My name was removed from the table aswell, for the 3rd time this year. Is this happening on purpose , is the bottom of the table being culled?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,650 ✭✭✭Muppet Man


    Broke the 1,000 mile at the weekend during the Cavan to Arva Breffni challenge, where I also set a PB for 21.1 km - in 1hr 47

    I'm 5 months ahead of what I did last year in terms of mileage and I've still got a lot of running to do this year!

    I've been removed as well. I think its survival of the fittest :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 921 ✭✭✭MiNdGaM3


    I was removed too...

    I keep getting removed as well but I just keep adding myself back. Its just someone with too much time on their hands vandalising it.

    If you pm rom, and you have a gmail account, you can be added to the locked sheet. Only people signed in to google can edit it.
