Count me out of the Beirut marathon support team please, Harminder! DOn't do marathons. Or heat.
Still ticking the miles off slowly here:
YTD: 835.1 miles.
Ytd: 790.8
Weather up dstr: its pouring down.
Welcome on board Lucas,
Welcome, Lucas...don't tempt fate eh?
Not a great day. Couldn't do the planned parkrun due to the strikes, so decided to go local. Chose Brockwell then almost had a panic attack trying to cross the South Circular (note that there wasn't actually much traffic and it was perfectly safe, I just couldn't make my legs go) so had to turn around and run back to Tooting Common for my local. I'm really annoyed with myself - I've had mild anxiety about crossing wide roads from time to time, but I've never actually failed before.
Local parkrun was very busy so I ran an uninspiring 29:07. Meh.
YTD: 1036
Don't seem to be firing on all cylinders these days; apart from feeling drained I'm beginning to wonder if I have some AF returning.
Ran a regular 7' loop on Thurs.. Hope to get out later today.
YTD: 1277' .
Fortunately, today was much cooler and nicer for running and I didn't have any of those kind of issues, nor any road crossing panics. Got 16 done with the middle 8 at a faster pace, though I didn't manage to hit target pace. I may still be too tired. I guess we'll see how I do at the Big Half.

A second rest day for me! Got out on Saturday for an unsteady 10'. Hope to run tomorrow.
YTD: 1287' .
Today: 6 miles recovery plus another mile full of strides.

Cal, trying Asics Gel Nimbus 24...got about 1000 miles out of 22s.
Club run tonight was a hill run...up and back down.

My 6 mile run, two days ago, was pathetic. Although I was feeling a little more energetic today I only improved my time by a few seconds. Added a 7th mile to round off my tally for the year, so far.
YTD: 1300' .
Sounds like a great trip, Donnie.
Congrats on the ton-up, MrM2. I know how you feel about the run. I was supposed to do a medium long run yesterday but there was a biblical amount of rain in the morning (plus thunder) - I don't mind a bit of rain but this was torrential. So decided to go today instead. Weirdly, despite a decent amount of sleep and a rest yesterday, my legs felt rubbery and heavy, so I only managed 6 miles.
YTD: 1075
Oh well... bit of rest needed...any tips appreciated.

Today's run took me over 100 miles for the eighth month in a row.
YTD: 865.6
Good job Alehouse.
A couple of clubmates of mine were celebrating birthdays at Wimbledon Common parkrun so I decided to do that rather than go somewhere new. It's not the easiest one to get to, though, so decided I'd just run there and back - 5 miles each way. There were substantial breaks between the legs so it wasn't continuous - in fact the start was delayed due to hornets on the course which meant a last minute course change. Still, ran a half marathon's worth of miles (none of them fast, mind).
YTD: 1088
Alehouse... Keeping up a steady, monthly tally!
Cal...parkrun to half-marathon in a single day! So happens that my tally for the day is similar.
A disappointing parkrun this morning; 29:57 official time. First mile was about what I expected at 9:20 but finished with a 10:22! What is happening?
A mile before and two miles after gave me 6 for the morning. Then this evening I did a 7 mile run. Curious to know if I would still be at 'very slow' or just the 'normal slow'. The nine hour rest seems to have re-set my pace to something more regular, but I'll check that out in a day or so, on a longer run.
YTD: 1313' .
Good luck, Hobie...hope it's nothing too serious.
Had a decent 18 mile run today (I wasn't sure how far my long run would be after yesterday but energy levels were better than expected - I actually could have done the whole 20 but decided it wasn't really necessary). Still on the slow side but getting there.
YTD: 1106

YTD = 1363.54 miles
The irony is that we (pacers) are expected to be at a briefing before 7:00am and some will be waiting for three hours before their wave sets off.
So it's not all that glamourous but still worth it to see the smiles and gratitude helping those who would otherwise not realise their dreams of finishing.
I am truly blessed this year, the missus is starting from the North and I am from the South. she also has a ten minute head start on me - maybe this is the year when she finally beats me as I am pacing at the second slowest time. Am seriously thinking of swapping our numbers so on the clock I would still have beaten her. lol
My problem is the following week at GNR - I hope I can deliver on the pacing time.
5 miles recovery today.
YTD: 1111
Harmander... Still going strong. All the best for your pacing!
Cal... Belated congrats on passing 1100'. Well done on your 18', especially after a 13' the day before!
Trust that all will go well as you prepare for the Half!
Happy to get out for a 10 mile run this afternoon. Not an easy route for me, and I don't know why it was so easy four weeks ago?! (by 40secs/mile!) None the less, was encouraged that I could keep going, after some discouraging outings in the last couple of weeks.
(Hoping to notch-up 51miles this week in celebration of our 51st anniversary at the end of the week.)
