Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Now I’m wondering whether to go at all. Everyone else is out and I don’t want to leave the dog alone. She looks sad already.

I don’t even want to walk out the door today - the snow and ice are making it look very treacherous. So an early weights session before a busy day of interviewing.

I have booked another race - Farnham Pilgrim Marathon 10th September - which is plenty far enough away to not be intimidating. The February 30 miler though is quite close, but it's an LDWA event so walking is definitely encouraged.

My next "event" is not just a parkrun but guide running and training other guide runners at Guildford parkrun. The course there is a bit of a challenge though with all the lower part of the park being sloppy mud. It might be frozen on Saturday though, so that will be an improvement :-)

That is a big, stinking, lazyassbones excuse, Diogenes. I hope you've gone by the time you read this.

I went - proper winter clothing - well 2 shirts & a jacket and thick gloves. Gloves and hat came off about half way round.
Mix of frozen ground - which was fine to run on, or frosty/icy roads and pavements which wasn't, or lightly melted mud on top of frozen ground, whcih was slipperier than the ice.
But bright sun and pleasant if you ignored or could get out of the wind.

I taken photos from this spot many times, but this is the first this year. It’s a gorgeous day for a run.

CK2, The last 2 years my target has been 250 miles; this year I am not even setting a target. This is a lovely thread. Sooner or later you may get to meet some of the people on it, for real. In the flesh, I mean.

Been for a walk. In walking boots, over snow, under a blue sky with sunshine making everything sparkle.
