Hi Oscar, youโ€™re so right.

Newport for me as well too. You did the first one I seem to remember? Hope Iโ€™ll be in shape for that as the course looks fast.

Injury bench for me with Plantar Fasciitis. We'll see how it goes and I may consider an autumn marathon.

Can of deodorant, FF! Works wonders

I did do the first 2 in fact, so in theory am ever present! It is a fast course but quite open so my concern at the end of October would be how windy it might get. My 2 fastest times there though so hopeful.

Oscar, do you spray it on or roll it around under your foot? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Ha ha - I would be inclined to use the can to roll your foot on, but whatever works...

You just made me fear for my 'speed' session later... (6x800, should be safe enough...)
