[dstock17]

Didn't quite believe the time myself when I looked at my watch. Turns out that bike commuting might be doing wonders for this whole running schtick.

Same as me when I did my PB. It seemed like such an easy run too. No idea how I did it ...

I did my first Parkrun since January, huffing and puffing round Exeter Riverside in a dismal time of 25:02. I haven't been for a run of any description in over two months, so I can't be too unhappy with that I suppose.

In other news, tractakid now holds the outright record for total number of runs completed, but can't get on top of GU for the unique courses title. Who will reach 100 first? The honeymoon is definitely over for Al at Cannock Chase. Will he ever get that PB below 30 minutes? Nothing much else to report.

I can tell you now, there won't be a PB from me until the temperature drops at least 10 degrees!

Ha! It was stuffy enough yesterday morning down here as it was. July and August aren't the best months for running.

I actually ran at Guildford. My barcode was still in Portsmouth.

Oh dear Let me know if you plan a repeat visit I have a time I need to rectify at Guildford...

[xcooler123]

I'm actually going to be at a Parkrun tomorrow! First one since January but I have been doing some running in preparation so we shall wait and see... I have elected to do Southwark

The run streak is over.... Was heading to new parkrun at Hoblingwell near Orpington and somehow ended up on M26 rather than staying on M25.. Was all a mess and tried to get to Reigate but still had 5 miles to go at 0855 so headed straight home...
Inevitable that this would happen sometime and it didn't help that where I join the M25 at 0730 this morning it was closed so had to drive 2 junctions down on the back roads which lost a lot of time....

Ah gutted to hear that Kev...

On the plus side I actually woke up in time for a Parkrun I like Southwark a lot and the run went as expected. 2 laps at 7:20 followed by a 9:38... fits into the training I have been doing (still working up to a full fast 5km hence the last lap drop off). Still, its a PB with something for me to aim for

[greatkingrat]

That is a well known junction for confusing people, to stay on the M25 you have to go off to the left, while what appears to be the straight on route is actually the M26.

Here's the update for today: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing

Jamesthegill and Das both get the red T-shirt, but GU loses his run streak due to a dodgy satnav. Andi takes over the lead with +6. Xcooler123 moves to within one second of scrxisi's PB.

I'm surprised that chilcraft didn't take the oppurtunity of poor Kevin hiccup with sat navs so that battle rages on also Geoff didn't take advantage of chilcraft so that battle rages on. on another note I was absolutely hanging not much sleep 10 pints night before glad didn't have to get up until 07.50 for a change. NENDY now back up to 62.5 miles.
