I'll be passing Atlantic College soon - I know a couple of people who worked there in the past.

The current king of NL went there, IIRC.

Wow! I know it has more than its fair share of students who go on to have a real impact in the world, usually in good ways.

I don't know how much impact Willem has, really. I think most people rate his wife, Maxima, more highly.

I have a vague idea (probably from watching that 'great fibs of history thing with Lucy Worsley about the 'glorious revolution' . I do love a bit of Lucy Worsley) that the Dutch more or less invented the concept of constitutional monarchy where the actual power stays with the elected government and the monarch is a figurehead to be wheeled out for added pomp at state occasions. I could be completely wrong about that, of course.

Am only in week 1 but can see this challenge becoming obsessive very quickly

I’m thinking I need a cut back week- I’m feeling really tired and I have increased my mileage since starting this challenge- it’s definitely a motivator to me but I need to be sensible!

I have been exactly the same best ever monthly mileage was 93 back in 2012 (I think) last month 131, so far this month 65 and there is walking on top. Got very run down on Wednesday so took a day off (still walked 3m) forced myself to do a workout today as I need the balance.

I am thinking that my interest may well peak and trough through this one but will need to keep plugging way. One week in and a full 26 miles!

Going to be a long old haul.

Agree with Elsie Too 26 is great progress OC.

Passed the 300 mile marker at the weekend just ahead of target for the month and still 11 days to go.

I have slowed it down Elsie, I have horrific coldsores and still feeling exhausted. Got up this morning to run but went back to sleep so its a quiet day today, I have my auntie and uncle, mum and dad coming for pizza tonight. Uncle is undergoing chemo so we have to pick the days carefully, today is not too bad a day weather wise and he is on an up after the treatment crash last week.
