Little Miss Happy Mar 2020 1:20pm, 13 Mar 2020 2,037 posts	Quote Pin Little Miss Happy I am having the same motivational issues Nicholls (and occasionally running along the same canal!) not helped by having a year plagued with knee issues. I think that the organisers want the government to make the decision and so do I - at least that way people can claim on travel insurance if they have it. Ashby 20 is on Sunday and I don't think it should be going ahead, it's not the running but the portaloos without hand sanitizer, the loos in the coffee shops that people use that run out of soap, the use of public places like the sports centre. Most of the people who have the virus and are spreading it probably won't know that they do. I don't blame the organisers for not cancelling because if they make the decision their insurance won't cover any of their costs.
