    i see someone has me in loads of lines again wit an alternative spelling of my name. I dont know if this was just copied or if others were moved out.

    Robinph can you have alook please?

    Someone was acting the bollix on the 18th December. I think that was when a few other people got deleted so I've added those lines back in at the bottom of the sheet, they could be duplicates if people added themselves back in again though so it's not a complete fix.

    Finished the strong with 170 miles in the last 16 days to just dip over the 2,400 mark - now roll on 2013!

    Is there any record of when I was deleted and what my milage was?

    Finished up today with a total of 1,333 miles done for the year. Happy with that but still room for improvement. :):)

    Hit the 1000th mile mark today, just in the nick of time! Was my first year really committed to running, so delighted to hit that total. Would hope to get closer to 2000 next year.

    2012 was a pretty good year all in all, first 10k, first 1/2 marathon, first marathon.... Here's wishing an injury free PB laden 2013 to one and all!

    I am pretty sure you are still on the sheet but in 7th place and listed as 'latenight' :rolleyes:

    Anyways 2758 miles total for me this year and 5th Place overall (i Think) which is about the same position as last year. I have ran 200 miles more this year than last but faded badly over the past 3 months and came nowhere near my 3000 mile target in the end.

    Looking forward to getting back into high mileage in the new year, as I think I will have to up my game to keep Ray at bay next year.

    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 :)

    Well when I posted the above in late July I didn't hold out much hope of adding another 1,000 miles before the end of the year but I proved myself wrong when I hit the 2,000 mile mark on the 30th December where my yearly total reached 2,004. It would have been rude not to add another 8 miles on New Years Eve which brought me up to 2012 miles for 2012 :cool:

    Thanks for pointing that out. Cant believe I missed the name change. :o

    I faded badly too after DCM and finished just behind you - might try for 3000m next year if life allows it.

    Great running, Niall. Looking forward to some more battles next - this- year.

    I reached my target of 2000 miles comfortably enough in the end, despite injury/illness hiccups. Finished in 16th place, which looked highly unachievable in January.
