:-) morning 700ers
The alpacas can graze outside the lighthouse im sure.
Yesterday was full on parent wrangling and i was shaking by end of day and couldnt even face a run. But im calming now and mrS is back at some point today and we all have tomorrow off hurrah. Considered and rejected parkrun but need to get out soon

Really hope you get it Dipps.
I always thought we'd nice it the area when ds finishes school, but now we're pretty much at that point, it's a different story. Dh loves his job (which isn't location independent) and we've realised how many people we know here and how many good friends we have. Why start again?

Did parkrun. Trying to look on the bright side. I did it. I'm able to run. Ish.

So fed up with being fat and unfit though

Are you moving area GM?


OH has never liked this house and I have a fancy to live by the sea, so we are considering a move of about 20 miles to the Cleethorpes area, so we are still near my dad who lives round the corner from us at the moment.
Having said that, I'm VERY tempted by ITG's Thurso lighthouse. It ticks a lot of boxes for me, but would make visiting my dad an 18+ hour round trip :)

Well done on parkrun Linds. I haven’t done one in ages so full of respect to all you doing them regularly.

I have run - well more of a splutter! Planned 3 miles. Managed 2.5 and probably should have called it earlier. I nearly gave up after the first few 100m as I started coughing and was struggling to breathe. Lots of coughing and wheezing all the way and my chest now hurts. Bugger!

Well done all who got out today. Hope your day is as gorgeous as ours. Managed a quicker parkrun again today and it has an uphill finish, just need need to find a nice calm but not overly hot day to tackle my sub 30 again.
