Well it is very dark outside, it's an easy mistake to make...

Hope those who have the lurgy recover soon. Didn't realise it was such an epidemic, normally November time but seems to be coming back in January too. No exercise for me today, calf is still sore so decided to stop the insanity and do more resistance circuits rather than the cardio, running should satisfy that. Just found out that HDS is 12 miles! Not sure why I thought it was half that, I'm sure it'll be fine with no real training for it 😃. Worried about my lack of costume, am I right in remembering I'm now one of the seven? Feeling like I'll be grumpy as sad about my 2nd anniversary tomorrow and being so far away from my wife. Lovely stories on here, so happy anniversaries also! Got through Christmas and new year really well but struggling with this one, I guess cos it's a personal / couple milestone. Given in a bit to the emotions so it's time to move and do something positive, new to journalling and been avoiding it for a few days. Will also see if my friend eBay has any dwarf like accessories. 9.30 meet on Saturday? I guess it'll be obvious finding everyone, no carnations required. Take care everyone x

HDS is usually closer to 10 miles than 12, funkyplates. But the distance is kind of irrelevant given the terrain

I know I'm going to sound slow-witted here but browsing the gallery just now, I see people have shown images of hexagons, and Sharkie has mentioned them too. I thought they might be to do with Conquercise but I can't see any hexagons on my map.
What is this hexagon stuff and where are mine?

and we will cheer you up, it's impossible to be sad whilst doing HDS for the first time. You're too busy feeling traumatised Oh, and don't forget to wear waterproof gloves of some description, wetsuit gloves are perfect and only about a fiver from Sports Direct if you don't have them.

I don't know quite what I'm doing here - but I've just seen my name and I can answer your question LD... so I might as well.
Go to Train > your log > Jan 17 will then have 5 drop downs across the top. Click on 'Map' (between Graphs and Summary) and Bob's yer hexagon.

*wonders if Sharkie has alerts set up on each thread for finding out when people are talking about her*
Oh and funkyplates, yes you are indeed a dwarf. If you can find a silly suitable hat and a large-ish shirt and a big belt then that will probably work. I am going to look for a beard now before I forget...

On another forum I sometimes visit (not for running but knitting and crochet) they have a really good feature where you can *earburn* someone by linking their name and they get notified.

That *is* a good feature.
And fp, I echo Fleecy - just get a silly hat. A beard is a good idea. I'll do my best. I was thinking about trying to get silly large shorts, but time will probably get the better of me.
