Well we are in the final pre registering for the Magic Mile and we still need loads more entries though so let's keep up the promotion! I am extending the deadline by a couple of weeks for new starters but we will keep the original deadline for cut off for those who have already entered.
The website is being designed now and should be live next week at least as a rough start. If anyone fancies creating a logo then would you please let me know. I have one already but suffice it to say I am not exactly creative!
As for me I am pleased to say that I got out for a run for the first time in a couple of weeks this morning. I have been injured for a while now but pretty determined to get back out there. I got injured a couple of weeks ago at football, running is my priority though so I might need to cut back on the footie now I am back running. I also had to stop the planks / press ups although I will start those up again in a few days!
There are so many amazing people on Twitter that are running ridiculous mileage, training for marathons, doing ultras and run streaks of over a year. These people are a real source of inspiration so time for me to step things up!

MAGIC MILE - RULES
The rules are few and far between to be honest, this is all supposed to be fun only.... If everyone abides by these simple rules then that would be great!
1. The Magic Mile is just simply the best mile split you run throughout January. It doesn't matter if the run was only 1 mile or 20 miles, whatever your best split is, is your Magic Mile Time
2. The Magic Mile times will be fixed at the end of January, each month thereafter each runner should submit their best splits again (only once a month at the end of the month). I will track progress and provide leader boards etc
3. Where possible try to measure the same mile that you managed in January, just to make it as scientific as possible. This will not always be possible but try your best.
4. Honesty and for fun only. There will be a prize at the end of the year for the fastest mile and the most improved runner (as a percentage of their original time), but clearly the whole premise of the Magic Mile is that no-one should be fixing their January time to be 'easy' to improve. It kind of defeats the object!
5. Promotion of the Magic Mile. All I ask in return for this is for all of you to promote this on Twitter and with your mates. It is easier for people to submit their times on Twitter but email is fine! Just let me know and I can DM my email address. There will be a magicmile.co.uk email in due course!
