Well done emummy, happy birthday Edith and Mitchy, the more people there are, the smaller the chance of you being last!

No park run from me today because it was tipping down with rain and my hip always hurts from running on tracks as it is (SPD hangover), let alone if they are muddy. But I have just done an interval training podcast on the treadmill so have 2 miles to add.

[ScienceRocks]

New total 202.8.

[OhOneOhTwoOhThree]

[cinnamongreyhound]

Well done emummy, fab time!!!

Happy birthday EdithDickie, have fun!

You will be fine Mitchy1nge, the most people the more you blend in :)

3.4 miles from me as I was last minute time keeper at parkrun due to people who can't be bothered to volunteer EVER
209.3

[Mitchy1nge]

3.1 (not park run, just out with new friend on her 3rd or 4th run)

Happy Birthday EdithDickie, have a good day.

1.5 today, accidental run...

I was walking the dog in a hilly wood whilst ds was in an activity, ran out of time so had to run to pick him up in time

I was in fleece a jeans and climbing boots, so felt like hard work!

[TheBigBumTheory]

Happy birthdays, too, and well done to all parkrunners.

[actiongirl1978]

So that's 213.9 and with my rubbish two, 215.9

I only went out to try and resolve some of the hideous aches from my million lunges and burpees yesterday, it did help to be fair.

Oh and my trainer saga is now hopefully over after two weeks of obsessing over my BRooks PUreFlow and my agonising IT band pain, I am now swapped to an On Cloud which feels amazing so hopefully i will get to take them for a spin tomorrow and improve on my two miles today!

Happy birthday to Edith and Mitchy and good luck for your run tomorrow, from the sounds of things on here, you totally have it in the bag!

[Mitchy1nge]

oh belated birthday greetings Edith hope you enjoyed your day!

have done about 5000 poos

am ridiculous, cover more than the distance and parts of the course routinely each week, just checking in to pick up any spare grips left lying around

[feetheart]

3.1 to add from me for parkrun yesterday and off to my first ever cross country with the club in about an hour and trying not to panic. If I can do and love Wolfrun surely cross country will be a doddle

Fantastic to get under 30mins emummy, well done. Hope those biscuits tasted good :)

Happy Birthday EdithDickie

Mitchy - the more people the more fun - enjoy :)

5.2 from me this morning, was lovely-rainbows everywhere

[OhOneOhTwoOhThree]

Super of all the runners this morning - it looks like a lovely day for it. I am in an airport, off on a work trip which will be really hard work all week. My only running this week will be on the hotel gym treadmill in the odd moment of downtime (not that there is very much in the programme).

[EdithDickie]

Thanks for the birthday wishes

Good luck Mitchy - deep breaths and calming thoughts

[cinnamongreyhound]

OhOneOhTwoOhThree! Well I hope it's at least useful and you enjoy some of it.

It's not a beautiful morning here but at least it stopped raining! My first step was into a puddle :( ran with the canicross club for the first time. Only 6 people but 9 dogs and a lovely 3.8 miles through the forest which was very wet after all the rain we had last night.

228 with mine and TheBigBumTheory's miles :)

[emummy]

7.6 miles in the sunshine this morning, nice and slow
Good luck Mitchy hope all goes well today
235.6

[Mitchy1nge]

and definitely at least 7 from me! (9 really with a warm up and cool down but didn't log with Garmin)

was fun but did cry a lot around before and during The Start especially when doves were released (have been too close to position of the parents who started the race in memory of their daughter and am forever unbearably grateful not to be them)

v proud of friend, she was anxious about aiming for 11:00 but each mile was definitely sub that, easily, she was brilliant

thank you all for being supportive :) it WAS fun!

[Mitchy1nge]

[TheBigBumTheory]

Well done mitchy!

[HalleLouja]

How do I join the garmin group?

[Mitchy1nge]

I dunno

I made the group but put EauRouge in charge and have forgotten how it works, it only really works if people lower their privacy settings - can usually see my own stuff but not much else

is there a 'join' or request button or something?

garmin has gone weird lately

[Mitchy1nge]

thanks bbtheory :)

[HalleLouja]

I can't find the group .

Thanks Mitchy and well done for today.

[Mitchy1nge]
