That’s a very good way of putting it CK2. On top of any personal crap anyone has to deal with I think we live in shaken and sad times which doesn’t help (me, at least)

Hugs to all in need

As far as corners of the internet are concerned Fetch is indeed a predominantly safe space, but with (*checks bottom of page*) 110880 registered users there will always be a few wronguns. It’s sad but hopefully the rest of us can maintain the upper hand.

Hola gonks.

I've been a bit busy the last couple of days, so not really kept up. A shame that someone seemed to have invented a load of nonsense, but let's not forget how brilliant Fetch is. I've met lots of lovely, genuine people through it and it's a safe space where we can all share our ups and downs.

Like PH says, there's a few wrong'uns - there's one or two that I just avoid like the plague as they're like mood hoovers on other threads. But only a few on such a large platform is pretty good.

Stay happy, wiggle your bottoms and buy some new running shoes whenever you can. heart

I have walked to the leisure centre, spent 40 minutes throwing a 20 month old around the pool and then walked back home. I am shattered 😂😂

I think that should become a Fetch motto! 😀

I hope you knew the 20 month old MM 😁 That’s quite an upper body workout for you.

Finally got out the door and did 4 miles. Glorious day here. Overdressed with buff and arm sleeves on. Shorts, t-shirt & shades sufficed.

KimCanRun it was the youngest Grandson and not the best idea the day after my first arms and chest workout at the gym yesterday.

Well done on your run 😁

I have just done my first run/walk since June this year 😁 It was fab! Had to be strict with myself not to keep running for longer than 1 minute. I’ve started C25K for the umpteenth time and took myself to a nice off-road greenway to do session 1.

Welcome to this year’s 700 thread: 700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient. Training goals: Don’t cry, don’t die

Reach 700 miles and we’ll heap you with bunting with extra points for bins. And if you go under or over 700 miles, noone will mind.

700+ Overachievers: well done and please reset your target so everyone gets a spot in the sun heart Tag me to add an event of any type to the list below where a thread cheer would help
