It's funny you know. Apparently as we get older we get wiser..... Those that know may will probably attest to the fact that this may not be 100% true for me. I did demonstrate a bit of sense to my run at lunchtime today; it must be because I am now the wrong side of 40. With this only being my second day back from injury I actually had planned a 7 miler, but a combination of the weather (which was truly shite) and the aforementioned sensibleness that helped me turn home earlier....
There wasn't really any reaction with the injury to yesterday's run although I think I will still take it easy for the next few days before trying to really ramp the miles up.
You may also notice mention of a run streak below, I am up for trying one but only for as long as my body feels good. My last 2 attempts weren't exactly successful (previous best 27 days!) which is not exactly Ron Hill standard is it!? Anyway we will see.
In other new the Magic Mile table is (I hope) up to date please do let me know if it isn't, plenty of time to get yours bettered or entered if you have not logged a mile with me yet. Please do enter this event there is a real spread of 'ability' and being the fastest doesn't mean you will win!
Finally please take a look at this blog, it is an idea being run by my Twitter mate mazymixer.... It could end in tears (in fact it will end in tears) but I love the idea and am planning on doing 50 miles if possible!
Keep sharing the love and getting others (on Twitter or otherwise) to enter the Magic Mile!

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!
