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!

No, I haven't got my t-shirt yet.

I don't know if any of you have heard about the Japanese runner, I'm not going to attempt to spell his name, but he's obviously very keen & can't possibly work for a living.
He's completed the RAT, then he's already run back to complete the BAT. If that isn't enough, he's already half way through completing the RAT again. I have a horrible feeling he'll overtake me soon.

I ran over to my daughters in Lancing this morning. Had a cup of tea, played with the grandchildren for half an hour & then ran back home. Excuse my French, but bloody hell, it was very hot coming back along Worthing seafront. I think "an old man's half hour" on the settee is called for.

I hope everyone is keeping injury free & plodding along in good spirits.

No sign of T-shirt for me either :-( i'm also making a sweeping assumption that most of those doing the double or triple are not working or are "working from home" ;-)

12barDavid - I know who you mean. He's aimed to cover every road in his area, and I think he walks at least a marathon a day. Don't know if he works but nothing would surprise me knowing the Japanese love of 42.2km.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the pack, I'm now past 300 miles and looking forward to reaching the halfway point before the end of the month. Here is a study in converging parallel lines.

My t-shirt came a few weeks ago (London). There is some small(ish) print on the wall behind the guy on the treadmill on the shirt. It took me about a week to work out it said "One Mile at a Time" - I thought it said "One Ale at a Time" and I was quite excited about doing a 1,000 Beer Mile challenge. Sort of doing that anyway in lockdown.

I just stumbled upon this thread, didn't realize there was a group of Fetchies running this, and had to stop in and read some of the posts. Congratulations to those who have already completed it, which is a quite REAL accomplishment, virtual format aside. To those still on their journey, best of to you. Keep going, one mile at a time. To all, thanks for flying the Fetch colours across Tennessee.
