Weather is not too bad here so I’m away to hang out washing...


If I tried that, it would be like steel within minutes. Yesterday, my swim kit bag froze solid on the poolside and I had to dunk it in the pool to open it and stick my flippers back in 😂

😂 I won’t need to resort to leaves or sleeve! My nose always runs when I run so carry handkerchief with me. Brought 2 so should be ok. And a buff is always handy too!

Well done AL!

Somehow I missed PH's post. bunting seems a bit inadequate - what an achievement, you must be so proud of her!

Well done AL, sorry your race was cancelled Som. Hope the other racers did well.

I just wasn't right physically or mentally and was more than 14 minutes slower than last year.

Well done PH SIL!

I challenged myself doing two long runs this weekend. For some reason yesterday’s felt hard and I was feeling a bit :( about it but this morning’s went really well. Nice gentle pace and I’m feeling fine now I’m finished.

Not sure who had it worse: me or the poor wee horse.






Also came across random British phone box - containing picture of erstwhile queen, model queen, model car and other paraphenalia

Short run today, before the rain set in. General drizzle all round until then.
And in my best Little Jim voice, "He's fallen in the water"

Except he hadn't, he'd gone there quite deliberately. Wrong camera though.

Reach 700 miles and we’ll heap you with bunting with extra points for bins. And if you go under or over 700 miles, noone will mind.

700+ Overachievers: well done and please reset your target so everyone gets a spot in the sun heart Tag me to add an event of any type to the list below where a thread cheer would help
