First spinning session at the gym today in about 25 years. Now I know why I'm so sh** on the bike. I nearly died after about 10 minutes. Will have to go back. I like a challenge!

ION, pay day means race entering for 2018. I seem to have entered White Star Running's Ox 50 in May. Oops. At least it is E24 style laps. I like the idea of doing a 1/4 marathon the night before too :-)
Might try and persuade FM to join me again.

Julian Farrell 10k on Sunday with Fleecy if legs have recovered from spinning class.

Entered a trail half marathon (tomorrow) which I now can't do. That's OK, I thought, I purchased cancellation insurance when I booked it as I noticed they offered it and I thought it would be useful if I was needed to be at home at short notice. Which I am.

First problem - couldn't find any info from the race organisers. Searched all emails, nothing. Half an hour of to-ing and fro-ing between the race people and the company who organise the bookings, then another half an hour of on-line chat with an adviser, and finally they found my entry. I'd not been registered at all, but they gave me a reference number.

Contacted the insurers and after working my way through the form I find that I can only cancel with a doctor's certificate/letter from my employers saying why they've relocated me/letter from the Armed Forces explaining why I've been called into service, etc.

Bums.

Very poor Paula. Sounds to me like you've been mis-sold.

Good morning from Paris. parkrun is on the cards this morning - well it better be as it's the only reason I'm here. Has anyone else ever travelled to a different country just to do a parkrun (utterly ridiculous).

Thanks Dipps. Yes meeting up with ds at school was fine and offending articles were removed. I had to laugh when he stormed past a friend in a rage shouting "I've got to go to fucking Paris and I don't want to". Poor little privileged boy. :-)

Bonne chance, TB. Courez comme le vent. Or something. And run like the wind, Sweetie

About This Thread

Maintained by Mandymoo
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2017 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed and sometimes even some running is talked about.

Happy running :-)
