Morning all. We're off for the running club relay - teams completing 40k in total. Apologies for those that follow my training - it might be a bit bitty & irritating!!

Morning! I'm having a rest day today after a much higher mileage week than recent weeks. OH has gone out with the local cycling club and Floss and I have had a bit of an amble - her choice of pace!

*Might* go for a swim later though waves are predicted to build (there's a brilliant chap who runs the watersports business on the beach who gives a detailed daily local forecast on FB. Invaluable!)

Go Team Jigs! luckluck

Hello. Smalley 5 Bells completed yesterday. My first race since October last year and I beat last year's time too... would recommend it to others. Again ran-walked (2min run, 30sec walk).

Morning gonks. An expensive morning, dropping artwork off at an exhibition which runs from 7-9 July in a gorgeous venue. Took the girls, they both had cake and a drink as did me and Sal.

The best bit about it is that the venue's cafe orders their cakes from the bake house where Sal works, so our cakes were either made by her or Eleanor who she works with.

Have decided a lazy day is needed but will run this evening.

Well done JenHB, that race kept coming up in race searches and I kept reading it as Smelly 5 Balls.

9 socialable & very breezy miles done. Think we spent as much time stopping to chatting to folks as we did running.

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
