A baselayer at 21 degrees, Dubai?

MrM2, congratulations and well deserved on your part! I do know a few people in your 'excellent V70 vet' running category and find them nothing short of inspiring. Cal, congratulations and well deserved to you as well! I wish everyone many, many more years of happy running. I have been running myself since my early 30s (V40 now) and find it hard to imagine that not so long ago I didn't run at all - yet if someone had explained to me in my 20s, say, what a big part of my life it would become, I'd have laughed and not believed them!
YTD: 1003
Thanks for the comments about the dilemma I have on Sunday with the gifted entry for a sold out event. I'm a great one for following rules, so running as another person causes some aniexity, but on balance what's the harm. My friend has paid her money, no one loses out, no fraudulent gfa will be achieved, no prizes unfairly won. Overall think I'll run although the name printed on the number is an issue. Hopefully no one will notice!
Gipfel, congratulations on the 1000, only a number but a great number and still a month and a bit to go.
Last official Couch to 5k for our group in work they're smashing it, 2 easy 5k runs for them next week then Parkrun on the 30th...I nobbled our bosses today for the charity effort.
Couple of hill reps as well tonight.
1217 miles YTD.
Greenwich parkrun and a mile warm-up so 4 miles for me today.
YTD: 1655
Gipfel... Thanks, and congrats on passing 1000'.
Hobie... Well done on seeing your group through to 5k! Hope they all enjoy the parkrun experience, and enjoy many years of running.
Decided that a wet and muddy parkrun didn't have much to offer, just two weeks out from Lanzarote, so enjoyed a double loop (6' x 2) that I've done a few times. Half of it is traffic-free, but not dog-walker free. Second loop was 20 secs slower than the first, but I did go out 'fasted'. Home in 1:59:59, meeting my goal pace of 10 min/mile o'all. Happy.
Resorted to treadmill, two days ago, and managed 10km in under an hour. I was glad when it was over! and I never feel that way outside.
YTD: 1281' .
15 miles today, which is my longest run since Yorkshire, but it was pretty awful. It took me 6 miles to get to normal easy pace (I was running at recovery pace, and not deliberately) and I had a lot of aches and twinges. Not sure why my body is so grumpy today. Still, got it done.
YTD: 1670
Really going to start the taper now (only two weeks to go). Couldn't resist the calmish weather so went out for a brisk 6', along the seafront. Intended to work up to a couple of 9 min miles but they came up straight away! In fact only clocked 45:18 for 5' before a slower final mile. What is happening? Body just wants to run!
Left knee is reminding me about resting! Will give more time to my stretching routine.
YTD: 1287' .
Race day for me, one of our neighbouring clubs (Sarn Helen) holds a trail race up a hill to a transmission mast and back down the other side of the hill...nearly 2000ft of climb and only a 6.5 mile race.
Loved it, mud, mist....lots of tea at the end.
1223 miles YTD
Hobie: I love your off road stuff, I've done nothing remotely comparable. Always interesting when posters share news of the events they participate in.
Cal: anything planned or just ticking over?
Ytd: 1049.0
Today's run felt a lot better - physio stuck his elbow into bits of me. He seems to do a much better job of making me feel better than sports masseurs, and he's cheaper.
Did 9 miles with 7 miles progressing to MP and then 2 miles recovery/cool-down.
YTD: 1679.

I envy you - it is one of the races I was looking at to do sometime.
Congrats in advance for the 1600.
In the last 12 days, I have been a little under the weather with a cough and drowsiness - so only managed
3 x 9.92 miles
2 x 13.22 miles
making my
YTD = 2417.83
Donnie... nice 10k !
Cal...good to see you 'comfortably' (?) piling on the miles. Getting impatient for Tokyo?
Dubai... some lower temps for you. Nice 20' run; do you recover well? You've got some special events lined up for next year! Hope you are still friends when you share the news!
Harmander... sorry to hear that you've been under the weather...hasn't kept you indoors!
Another treadmill session this week; just a mixed pace 4'. Then got out in today's afternoon sunshine and light breeze, along the seafront for 8', including a couple at mar. pace. Feeling more like Spring. Just two or three shorter runs, next wk. before Lanzarote.
YTD: 1299' .
A bit jealous of your weather as it was cold and foggy this morning.
I ticked off Wimbledon Common today - it's not near the station so I made it a parkrun sandwich - 3 miles there, parkrun, just over 3 miles back (different route). Very muddy and busy parkrun so not a fast time, around 26:50 (they are very, very slow with the results at Wimbledon - I'll likely get my time tonight or tomorrow). Good cafe though - had a hot spiced apple drink which warmed me up nicely for the run back to the station.
YTD: 1695
MrM2 I do recover well *touch wood* - but have been running at a slower pace than normal as I'm not concerned about times but just finishing next years ultras.
Looks like no run today, was up at 0400 for work and got some workmen in now, think by the time they've finished I'll be too tired, will see.
1246 miles YTD
Well done on getting your group around parkrun, Hobie - do you think most will stick with it now?
YTD: 1711
Lovely 5 miles for me today, gorgeous sunny, cold weather for a change. That's me at more miles than last years total with a month to go.
1251 miles YTD
Been at the percy pub 10k (Sheffield) today. An incredibly popular run, selling its 3000 places in a couple of hours on a Sunday evening in October. Nothing special, undulating courses, but the winners are in the elite category (omar Ahmed 28.58 and eilish mccloghan 31.47) and it taps into a pre Christmas vibe. Second time at this event, slightly slower than last year (47.50) but placed a little higher.
Cal: I completely forgot about tokyo. I'm a little envious.
Mr MM: good luck in lanzarotte, enjoy the sunshine.
Hobie: my cousin did couch to 5k in the spring. Last week she run the doncaster 10k. It's a great thing your doing. Her efforts have been life changing.
Rest day for me today (which meant gym). Not content with running Tokyo, I've also entered Chicago. Anyone want to buy a kidney?
