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!

Don’t panic, ideas will happen, plans will form. I reckon lots of us HAVE to find new ways of doing things, so we can try and turn them into positives ( get me, Pollyanna rides again)

Autumn running/ racing plans might need a rethink.

Do you miss that, Ness? Or is it a relief? Is running still important to you? Without races what motivates you? Can you make it better, more enjoyable in some way?

Good question, Sharkie. I have been able to keep running during lockdown. In fact, my mileage has increased but I miss the social aspects of races. I do hope to restart going to some races in the new year.

I think I should look for a new challenge in the meantime but not sure what. Will definitely give it some thought though.

I am going to (re)commit to 2 minutes of gratitude in the evening. It was really good for my mental health to think about all the things going right or that I am lucky to have, but I seem to have let the habit slip.

Got a few ideas:

1. Aiming to squish my Fetchpoint bug everyday for 30 days to get a badge. Only 5 days in so it will take most of September if I manage it.
2. Swim once a week in the Serpentine. Haven't swum this late in the year without a wetsuit so it will be a challenge if it gets cold quickly.
3. On the days I'm not swimming/cycling/or at the gym do a home upper body workout. I've got mini dumbbells and YouTube and I need to make use of them!
