Well done LL for your "not a 14 mile run!"😁 I do sometimes do a bit of rounding up, depending on how I was feeling.
Steve, unfortunately it has been confirmed that our local parkrun won't be reopening at the end of the month. Southampton is the next nearest, and they regularly get 1000 plus runners. I"ve no intention of risking running it in the worrying Covid climate. Also, as you can imagine, parking is a nightmare, as there is no official carpark.
It was 28 degrees this morning, and I ran 15k in the forest. It was tough in the heat, with no cooling breeze.
I've got to miss the usual Monday morning group run, as I have to wait in for the pest controller. I've got wasps flying in and out of the extraction vent through the exterior grid. I hope to be able to run later in the day 🤞

That 1,000 runners is about the same as the main Cardiff Park Run ( not yet up and going either yet,) hs. Still a bit too risky re virus transmission but some are ok about the risk. Even if symptoms are mild if one catches covid after having had jabs the possibility of long covid looms. No thanks, not at my age!
15k in 28c is tough hs, well run there.
Our friend who did the 50k Vale Coastal Ultra which started at 7.30 am on Sunday came home first woman in a little over 11 hours. Temperatures were high for that and the 100 miler--36% dropped out of the fifty and 74% out of the 100!!
No run again for me...put new felt on a shed roof before 10am instead!

I'm full of admiration for ultra runners in such high temperatures Steve. It was tough enough running 15k yesterday. I don't think I could have run much further, even if I'd wanted to.
The pest controller arrived this morning and discovered a wasps nest in the loft. He's had to disconnect the extractor unit as they had been chewing it. He's coming back later this afternoon to check everything.
I got out for a short run, 5k, after he had left, but it was so hot, I almost wish that I hadn't bothered.

Thanks LL, It's taken me all these months to get there, and at one time I didn't even think that I would make the top 10.

I’m just about hanging on to top 20.
You’ve had a great month and your Marathon training will help. Great achievement.
