I have a big bag of mini Toblerones I was given in the summer just As I started my diet and I haven't opened them either. Even I don't think I could eat that in one go....never mind 6 weeks till Christmas and then the tubs of sweets from patients arrive daily *can hear the sofa groaning under my weight already*

Perhaps you should give them away LG, perhaps your local food bank?

Hey, I parkrunned.

So my watch is set to KM so my splits are off, however I've uploaded to strava and when I switch my strava view to miles it shows the first mile of the parkrun to be 12:21 so I think strava has automatically given me lap times by doing that.

Is that accurate enough?

That'll be fine m4p, well done for getting out there. :)

I have also parkrunned, in the rain - lots of nice puddles, mud and even a water jump on our adjusted route now. :) I do seem to get slower though.

Thanks ar

That was much faster than the other 2, which were 13 min something! I tired a lot and haven't done a parkrun for 6.5 years

Loads of puddles for us too, started on the grass as the start had a massive puddle across the path.
