Another lurker checking in. Hopefully I'll manage the full 1,000 this year. Good luck everybody.

It's amazing the effect it can have on you... I was heading out on a run on Saturday and I relaised I hadn't charged my Garmin, I usually take this as a sign from above that I need a rest day but I still ran and then calculated my distance on mapmyrun.
Will I still be this enthusiastic in March???:) I hope so

If you have no garmin record it doesn't count IMO. The run could just have been a figment of your imagination

Now that you mention it.... maybe I did dream about that bracing wind on Sandymount strand.....

Anybody mind if I join in?

Brand new to running and I'm using the couch to 5k at the moment. Week 9 this week

How else was I supposed to overtake you

But seriously I think this could be the one downside to the new template and I think that unless people keep track of their miles in a backup for (say perhaps in there log) it could create alot of problems especially a few months in

Yes. We can revert to an earlier version of the spreadsheet, but its a bit complicated to go back to a version that contains thirstywork2 without losing the real updates that have been made since he was deleted. Safest thing is for everyone to have their own backups.

Does the table not autosort itself, and rank in terms of whoever has the most miles done?

Maybe the running Gods are going to divide your many miles amongst us mere mortals?

Last night when I updated mine I ended up being two times on the list... I have no idea how. I'm way too scared to delete the second one in case I delete everyone else also:eek:
I have started a log as a back up.

I also feel that I should be starting some kind of 2012 challenge for my brain:o, if it weren't for my Garmin I wouldn't stand a chance of adding up my totals and keeping track of my miles. I'm on the slippery slope to Alzheimers I think....

Breaks into the top 30
Thirsty you're there at the top when you click on positions down the bottom left but seem to be moved from your original spot, this would be explained if you've already added yourself back.

I've deleted the lower value but I'm still outside the top 20. Maybe I should run the Conn ultra after all...

RayCun

I've copied the running streak table in here as a third sheet.

yep you motivated me to get up at 5:50am this morning

Bruncvik

And yet another lurker... Too early to say, but so far this has been motivating me more than my next marathon.

Thanks Ray, I was hoping somebody would:)

What a pity for you, Conn sold out today, you would have loved the Ultra:D
Not that I have a clue what I'm letting myself in for

Nah. Worse. I'd say he runs to work, at lunchtime and then home Explains why he's at a standstill on the strength challenge

Just updated the table but it's not automatically updating the total column ?

Crosses fingers and hopes she hasn't broken it :eek:

Fixed now. Did you type directly into the total column in a previous update?

Thanks for that. I've never gone near the total column - it has usually updated itself. Like the new set up but finding it a bit scary !

And I'm off the mark! First run of the year after having a cough for the last
couple of week. Also Santa brought me a forerunner so it was my first time
running with it. Thought it was great, it really pushed me to keep my pace up.

davedanon

First long run in a while today. Will be keen to up them too, with Kildare coming up in the middle of May. Just under 13 today, up Slade valley, between Rathcoole and the Blessington rd., if anyone's familiar with that part of the world. A testing hill, it's safe to say. Am agape at the mileage being clocked up, meanwhile. 215 miles in two weeks? God's teeth!

Younganne

Finally got my first run of 2012 in:D ...only 3 miles but its a start, so lots of catching up to do...not that i have a hope of catching most of you:eek:

jeffontour

Right, that's me signed up. I'm always useless at updating these things so don't expect to hear back from me until 2013.

robinph

Finally got my third run of the year in after the last week of doing lots of km's sitting on chairs going up hill and sliding back down them faster than is entirely sensible.
