Back from Devon and another great if slightly surreal Grizzly weekend.

Grizzly cut down to the Cub 10M wef yesterday afternoon.

Light snow yesterday evening. 9 of us from our club went to the Griz Quiz last night where we yet again dragged the average age down by about 2 decades! The music round had no music from the 21st century FFS ;-)

No more snow overnight and the expected wind didn't materialise, but it started snowing hard at 10.00 1/2 hr before the start.

We ran ok, but through a complete snowstorm and it was actually horizontal snow on the cliff tops. 9M fairly easy. They had to change the route again after the first few runners slipped and slid over one short stretch of concrete, so that clipped anouther mile off.

I managed to sneak in a quick snow angel half-way round and then slipped on a corner where some old folks were handing out jelly babies. Ended up on one knee and so proposed to the 70+ yr lady who was holding the tin. ;-)

So not a long run but tough weather conditions and absolutely the right call to shorten it. Bit disappointed my taregt race didn't really happne, but frankly just glad we were able to run at all.

Back next years for the full monty if I'm allowed out again. I appear to be in the doghouse once more for too much running :-(

Oh FFS I've just realised I set my alarm an hour earlier than needed! Dog and I have had breakfast though, so can't even use the time to have a run. What a twit!

Happy birthday PH cake champagne

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
