4 miles recovery today, in a T-shirt and sunglasses, although I had to run through some standing water caused by overnight rain. Went to the gym after and then got caught in a thunderstorm on my way home. In my T-shirt. It's currently raining again so I guess we'll all have more mud and puddles to look forward to.
YTD: 1286
Race in Aberystwyth was great. It's pretty much the opposite of what I like about running....it's flat (64ft elevation gain) and all tarmac so I did a bit of pacing for a friend, she wanted a 55 min.....I might have lied to her on the way back to keep her pushing to a 52 min....I'm a bad coach.
Cal, that was a pic of a decent path....it got much muddier....I'm down your way next week for a couple of days in London....going to run around seeing some lights while the family watch Chicago.
Great numbers Donnie, dangeroushamster & MrM2
This morning though bought myself a ticket to Valencia marathon for next December. Will be my first 'away' marathon... Get a good banker in at Newport in April than all out to get something big in Valencia

Wabo and Hobie - almost there. I'm sure you'll get across the line. Hobie - you've had a challenging injury plague year, its quite an achievement alongside getting your park run underway.
Two runs to add - 7.1 in exactly an hour and 5 which felt hard work.
Ytd: 1262.1 (Ytd 57.0)
5 miles tonight with my boy, lovely run
967 miles YTD

Bournemouth has a fairly wide seafront, promenade. The seven mile prom. extends beyond the strict limits of Bournemouth, and it is possible to run the full length, uninterrupted. So, if you choose to it is possible to run a flat, half marathon, out and back. (Just need to pick a time when it isn't too busy, and when the prevailing winds are not too strong.) There are a number of 'chines' and gardens, going up from the prom, so it is very easy to throw in some climbs, and extra miles.
Another mixed run this afternoon. just seven miles. Lovely weather for December!
YTD: 1490' .
Hobie and Wabo almost there, great running from everyone.
A 10 miler today, thought I would ignore the watch and just run by feel, ended up running much quicker than my easy pace but didn’t feel hard so will take it ☺️
YTD 1240 miles
Jack well done!!
Mr C that's lovely when you get a run like that
Well done all
I'm up to 939 I'm chomping 4 a day, might try longer tomorrow to give me a buffer
Keep it going, Wabo and Hobie!

I went past 2000 miles 2 miles into my parkrun last Saturday and have beaten my last years total.
I have secured a place in the London Marathon next year to mark my 40th consecutive London, it was given to me out of sympathy I feel and I am grateful. I have been training 16 first timers who will be joining me in a 10 mile course familiarisation run tomorrow - from the 3 mile mark to the half way line.
We have 28 club runners in the London this year, that is a record in itself for us, my only regret is that Sandeep will not be one of them as planned - her sister who has never run in her life is one of the first timers and I will forget about everything to do with my finishing time but help walk her through it instead.
Happy hunting to all those who are still going for 2023 totals. (Two weeks to go)
Couldn't resist going out for a ten mile run today, to bring me up to 1500 miles. Not a route that I would have chosen, but the wind had a say in that! Found it all a bit of a slog, today, but then I've broken all my rules about recovery days....?!
YTD: 1500' .
Back to back runs this weekend. Beautiful weather. Low to mid 20s with a cool breeze. Sorry for the brag!
Happy running everybody.
YTD - 1019 miles.
MrM2, epic 1500 there. Well done.
No miles to add for me - I am sick. Felt a bit wheezy running on Thursday and it has since progressed into a full blown cold. Lots of coughing so had to skip parkrun yesterday. Not sure when I can run again but hopefully I'll be alright for the Christmas weekend.
Seven first timers joined me and did 10.58 miles today. The Big Mac Meal was so nice.
JackFW, I have been doing Toronto Waterfront since 2003 except the Covid years, however I ran two others (Inspirational Steps Marathon).
YTD = 2068.49 miles
Rest day today and travelling tomorrow....
Cal: Get well soon, you must feel ill to miss park run.
Jack: Adore the pictures of Melbourne. A bucket list thing, is test match cricket on Boxing day at the MCG. Hopefully one day.
Two runs to add - parkrun where Olympic cyclist, Ed Clancy, joined us as part of a local 'get moving' health initiative and a Sunday tea time jog around my local streets - standard 5 miles, pushed it a bit to get back for the second half of Utd v Liverpool. Not sure the football rewarded my efforts.
Ytd: 1270.2 (Ytd 65.1)
