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!

I'm still in touch with firestarter who was active here in the early days. He's still chairman of his running club and still a top bloke. Had injury problems that stopped him running for a long time but is back running now albeit socially rather than competitively.

Wow, this is a nostalgia thread. Thanks to SB for pointing it out to me. So many old faces, grown older and not grown up.

What a lovely thread! I got lost after having a battle to conceive, then having 4 pregnancies and 3 babies. Youngest is now 18 months, middle 6yo and eldest 8, almost 9 yo: boy, girl, boy. What with lockdown and home school, these days I rarely get a second to myself! I stumble around a parkrun every so often, mostly with the kids but my running days are really on pause until littlest is at school. Happiest I've ever been, living in the Lake District and with my lovely family. Fetch saved me throughout a period of uncertainty and transition in my life and I made so many friends from here. I culled my Facebook list drastically in a moment of hormonal and emotional distress after the birth of one of the kids! Lovely to hear updates from you all x

What a blast from the.....I think I'm 3549 from about 2006 - can't quite believe that....Fetch was a very important part of the day to me, back in the day. Running was super, super important to me and kept me sane. Saw me through a broken marriage and just gave me lots of advice about something I knew nothing about - running! Now I try and drag my old body out and about. I creak and ache a lot. Still know nothing and still (sort-of) love running.

The badge thing is just that you get them for doing stuff (like running x miles on a run or in a month etc).

Nice to see all the people I used to see posting back when I joined (and I was far too scared to at the time!).
