Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Lol Decorum - you’ve got the picture!

I am considering doubling up as I have some exercise bras with the standard bra strap/fixings which I can just about get into without swearing in pain. They are not supportive enough on their own (I tend to use them for Yoga and Pilates). Anything is worth a try at the moment!!!

Sheepy Shuffle HM ticked off today (Walking) - raising funds for a sheep sanctuary near Boston.

In total I walked 16.1 miles as I had to walk Ndog (2.2) first and then had to extend the HM distance as the Sussex sheep I wanted to take a photo of were in a different field 😂

Lovely medal WP :-)

Hope everyone is doing fine.

On holiday this week so going away up north for a couple of days to visit OH’s family so that will be nice.

Running has been fairly steady as I have been going early morning but nothing much over 5 miles - occasionally a 10k and I think a 7 miler so yesterday I tested myself nice and early and a bit warm at times and so was pleased with a half marathon in 2.16 :-) . No idea where that came from but I felt good so just kept going.

Unfortunately I have no races left waiting for cancellation but there’s always next year

Mulbs - sorry to hear about London xxx

Anyone else still marathon training?

I am still training for Beachy Head but if it does go ahead with the revised arrangements I think I will defer as I can’t face having to carry a change of clothes (plus food) along the entire route and then having to find somewhere to change before travelling home on a train - or taking the car and changing out of soggy clothes in a car park if it rains. And as I am doing it as a walker I will be out there for a very long time - more info in the next week. In the meantime it is Head v Heart!!
