IT GRANNY 🇮🇸
GWS, Som.

I've got a chronic but mild sore throat that I think is post-covid. Not sure how much running or cycling is wise but I WANT TO.

I'm in a quandary :-)

I've entered Chester marathon - a Fetchie meet-up and a 'proper' marathon.

But, for family reasons I'm not yet allowed to divulge ;-) that weekend I might well need to be on Granny duty in Devon.

So, do I enter the virtual London as well, so that, should Granny duties *not* be required on that particular day, I can still do a marathon (on the same route as last year) and say goodbye to the Chester one?

Or do I just risk being able to do Chester after all and save the TCS entry fee?

Chester sounds far better than a virtual London unless you could create a non-virtual Fetch meetup to go with it.

The virtual was pretty friendly because I chose a route where there were about a dozen other 'virtuallers' running. But I appreciate that's no comparison to a Fetchie meet-up :-)

I've just thought - if I enter TCS virtual but run Chester using the virtual app, I could get two medals and two race Ts :-)

What are the chances that granny stories will be required on that day. Usually that *day* isn't the one when they're normally required, is it ;-)
