Im also sort of glad because I would’ve hated to have missed it but I’m not sure I’m well enough to have run.

I feel bad for those who have reallly trained, especially those that have travelled and booked accommodation

Impressive picture, RRR! I'm surprised your parkrun went ahead, with that much water on the ground.

Groe parkrun done; lovely sunny morning when the mist cleared. The Wye was high but stayed within its banks (it quite often doesn't) and I ran my best time this year. 1st and last in category, as (nearly) always.

Well done all you runners!

In my office today catching up (not as bad as it sounds - nice and quiet and much better desk than in my shared Greenland apartment). I did manage a sort of jog last night that turned into a hike as I went up a mountain (yes, stupid) looking for a "geocache" for my mum. I didn't even find it and had to come back down as it was too dangerous and a bit too late in the day for me to continue alone.

Having had FOMO about the Gt South I'm very glad we hadn't done as we have in previous years ie book accommodation for the weekend!

Mr J
Back in action, 700 miles becomes possible despite usually doing a few hundred more most years.
