Hi Gary- Im embarressed to say I also lasted about 8 days before jacking it in.... however, if it counts I have been going to the gym twice a week which also includes a run warm up of roughly a mile so I am running more.. just not every day (digging a hole as I type) Well done you! Thats brilliant mileage and a top effort.

We are as daft as each other. I have run every day this year so far, although I set my minimum run at 2 miles as a more sensible target for my age. The milage and tiredness have both increased, mostly the latter.
I only intended to do it for a month just to see what it was like. The most difficult days have been when I work weekends as I leave home before 7am and I generally don't get home to 9:30pm. Running that late night was a challenge just to get out the door.
After over 2 months I think common sense is going to come in at last I probably will stop this week end and have a rest ready for the St Helens 10k. I really don't want to risk my old injury coming back.
All credit to Les who managed to do over 6 months when he was a bit younger.
Brian I have stopped as of today, I was supposed to run on my lunch hour today only to find when I got in work that I was put on a lunch patrol, I have been struggling with a sore leg ( Tendinitis just below inside of left knee and all the way down to my shin been constantly RICE ing it ) for the last couple of weeks, I have been very stubborn and stupid and tried to run through it but I have now seen sense and intend to rest until Sat for the Grindleford 21, I will see how I get through by doing that if no improvement I will give Bernie a call, I just want to be right for London, bit gutted really as once you set your mind to running at 5 am most days you feel wide awake for the day ahead, I even got up last Sunday before going to Wembley and the next day after a 16 hour drinking session but my running mate at work said to me this afternoon sometimes you have to listen to what your body is telling you and this struck a cord
wow!! what a fantastic achievement to both of you! i too gave up after only 8 days!! As I could feel old creaks setting in! but 63 days Gary is a fabulous PB!! But as you say, you have to consider "WHY"!!!! the events you have coming up are far more important, I can actually hear the steam coming out of Bernie's ears when she reads your post!! hope your niggles are just that and that your fit for Grindleford on Sat!we've had out preparation massage this weekend from Bernie and feel looser and ready to Rock!!! see you there
