"Not done much this weekend. Volunteered at Park run yesterday and marshaled at Harrow half today. Did manage a quick 6km this evening which was a shock to the system! Back on it now for a couple of weeks hard training as got a half in a few weeks and still toying with entering Beachy Head" How did you find the run yesterday? When is Beachy Head? I googled the profile, but didn't look at the date ![]() | |||

"I'm conscious that there wasn't much of a take up on the last social - and I know that not everyone is based in the South East - so I thought I would do a poll to see where everyone could get to for the next one. https://doodle.com/poll/77nghmke7uwunrwy Again, it's completely anonymous and you can vote for as many options as you would like. Hopefully the regions are self-explanatory (Sorry if you think your county should be in a different region!)" Way better than Fab regions lol Voted | |||

I went by the official government definitions of geographical areas. To be fair, I think the same with Oxfordshire and Kent being in the same region. It would be a good two hours drive (possibly more) for me to get to Kent. | |||

"I began running in January and in the hot summer got to my furthest distance of 12 miles. Was due to do my first half in a few weeks but got a calf injury doing my local 10k. Annoyed as hell as my first two miles I banged out less than 10 min miles and was on to beat my best 10k of 1 hour 5. Best 5k was 30.01 and currently plodding to calf hurting at mile 3. Had a few tears knowing I had to pull out of my 10k event this weekend and my half. Parkrun most weekend so my current aim is to do it without stopping."

"So as usual whilst out at a vanilla party last night I left way too late and what should have been a gentle walk of 40 minutes to build up my fitness carrying a shoulder bag with my new grandad slippers in after drinking 3 pints turned into a run. Then google maps froze on my phone and I added quite a bit extra onto my route before it woke up. 3.5 km in 22 minutes 56 seconds including buying a bottle of water in a pizza shop. Considering on Thursday evening I was cycling so slowly people were overtaking me on foot as no energy will settle for that." Harry, have you not learnt yet? ![]() | |||
