Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I hope your friend continues to recover, Carp :-(

If Sharktopus doesn’t want to see me naked (and let’s face it, who does?) he can crochet himself a little flannel and use it to cover his eyes :-)

I'm sure Linds and DD will enjoy te track sessions.
SK at our club all members are welcome at tracks sessions and that means 13m/m runners as well as the fast ones. They just set the session at the beginning and let people do it with others at their own pace. I've only done a couple but I really enjoyed them.
RRR-CAZ I'm sure everyone will pull together, sometimes it good to be able to talk with other people who have been similarly affected, running together might be cathartic xx

My year as running club male athlete of the year and male handicap series winner finished on Monday :(

Running ticking over ok, slowly building up distance

1 race entered, a 10 mile in June. I did the HM in 2017 and it was a lovely race around Grimsthorpe Castle and surrounding grounds.

Sounds great FML
I agree it could be a positive event, RRRRR, paying tribute in a weird sort of way?

I’ve only done track a few times but it was fun, I would go more often if it was a different night but Friday evenings are not appealing!

Sharktopus is not the only mutant sea creature in existence. Just before Christmas DS3 and me had a conversation in the kitchen where he was telling me about his class at school doing a project on marine ecology. At one point the conversation went like this:

DS3: There's something in the ocean that's really cool.
Me: Oh what's that?
DS3: I can't remember what it is called but its alive and really hard. It begins with "C" *
Me: Is it a Croctopus?
DS3: Is that like half crocodile and half octopus?
Me: Yeah the front end is the crocodile bit and the back end has eight tentacles.
DS3: That would be a really scary. Imagine having the jaws of a crocodile and eight legs to grab you with!
Me: Yeah but be careful coz I think there's one in our bathroom!

*We did establish that the answer was coral.

If I did let this beast out of our bathroom, who do you think would win in a fight - Sharktopus or Croctopus?

My favourite bit:

There are even crocodile fossils from the dinosaur era that show signs of predation by ancient sharks, suggesting this conflict is truly ancient.

About This Thread

Maintained by Mandymoo
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2018 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.

Next year's spreadsheet can be found here - let's fill it up
