Fragile Do Not Bend
It would be nice to see you if you do. I don't think anyone I know is running it, I made a spur of the moment to buy the place someone was selling after the event was sold out. If my husband comes along, he will probably bugger off to Deal whilst I'm running!

I can't click on the links Frag but is that the cakeathon on 14th? Mr Lemon is gutted we didn't enter it, we are going down to Ticehurst mid week for his birthday (its just into Sussex) but were going to be heading home Saturday and we could have popped over to the coast to do that if we had planned it before! Anyway I do hope you are all better by then, you should be right by then.

That's the one! Maybe we should have a SAP Fetchmob at one of these events. 😀

Lem, I only mentioned the Lakes as last year you went there for a holiday just before the event so I thought you could tie it in this year. ;-)

Phase 1 of my lurgy comeback was okay yesterday - brisk walk up 2 zigzags to check out my lungs. Phase 2 today - go to an Insanity class this morning. :-o Phase 3 tomorrow - go for my first run of the year. :)

My Garmin has been pronounced dead by Garmin - it works but won't connect to Garmin Express any more. :-p It's 4 years old now so doesn't owe me anything, I just wish they'd decided that a few days ago instead of getting my hopes up. I've now urgently ordered a 235 to arrive by 1 p.m. tomorrow so will have to wait for my run until it arrives.

I hope that all you Scottish Fetchies have a great day today. :)

Alpen pleased to hear your on the comeback, looks from your log like the insanity took place 😊. Sorry to hear the garmin got the last rights, hope the new shiny arrives early.

Parkrun for me earlier, lovely steady trot with the hubby conversation all the way around. Ran the whole thing had loads more in the bank, was nice not to bust a gut for a change lol.

Evening all. Nutso that sounds like a nice enjoyable run.
Yes Alpen I remember we were in the Lakes for my birthday and coming back before the 700 thread gathering.

We have now decided which race to do end of October and Kent has won over Beachy. We have entered Betteshanger marathon on the Saturday 21st and the cakeathon challenge the next day. I'll do marathon Sat and then just see what I can manage on Sunday in the six hours (if I can manage anything!). Very excited as the marathon is aimed at slower runners so I'll be in good company!
