Off the block. I managed the 4 miles I had on my plan. This counts as a LSR at the moment. 11:29mm pace I'm more than happy with. That should be ok if I'm aiming for 11mm on the day I think?

well done :) reckon that's plenty quick enough for longest run this far out

my plan only had 2 miles on it today and I didn't even manage that :( missed weather window and the CBAs took over.

Fizz and I looked at the weather and said 'Naaah'.

Fizz ironed and I washed the cars.

We try again tomorrow.

I'm glad I hadn't planned to run today - it's vile out there. I did keep time at parkrun though - I got SO cold and wet standing still for 55 minutes.
Looking forward to my run tomorrow morning though.
That's a great start, GM!
Sensible approach from the FizzyWobbles ;)

I went out for a bike ride. I'll run when the weather isn't fit for cycling; my main event of the spring is a 24-hour track race two weeks after the Draycote 10 so I should be able to bodge my way round the distance but won't be knocking on the door of my 10-mile PB, which is almost untouchable because I ran it on a point-to-point route that's renowned for being fast.

I'm mostly coming for the stickers and the dinner :)

That's the main point of the event, V'rap; you can't beat a Fetchfest :)

Fizz :-)
I think you've got everyone with the race in their portfolio . . .

I need a few more new stickers ;-)

I think perhaps Nightjar was a yes at one point too - with Silvershadow too, hopefully :)
