Daddy Shark Jul 2020 3:35pm, 19 Jul 2020 537 posts	Quote Pin Daddy Shark +1 for what VJ said, cerid. I can reach 225 squares without a move. That means I reach the whole grid by heading off in different directions and planning my runs accordingly. That is not intrinsically harder or requiring of more planning that someone else who, say, covers half the grid by heading off in two different directions, and then moves the grid and broadly heads in those same two directions again. Anyone who's moved a grid will tell you that getting it right is not always easy and doing it well requires thought. However, I judge my own achievements in my own terms, so I'd happily pat myself on the back for the non-move 150, especially if you think doing it with a move would have been easier for you. AtC, I've been trying to get back in the last 8 for a while, without success. It's not to be sniffed at. I look forward to seeing you go for it again, though I'll be less chuffed if it turns out to be at my expense!

With voltarol, ice and rest, it has come down but I have a 30.6km trail run on Saturday which is in fact my last lsr before scheduled marathon 15 August. I'll try to do more swimming and might even do my "efforts" on the very boring rowing machine.

Definitely your game and your challenge to work on for yourself.
