Well done. I've this morning completed my 100th parkrunners. Again, not the greatest feat listed on here, but I'm immensely proud of this particular milestone.

Weymouth would be interesting. I am doing Outlaw again because it's nearby. I'm fed up with spending a fortune on entry fees, flights and accommodation. Good luck. I quite fancy Outlaw one day, just to see how quick I can go over 140.6 miles, I've always done hilly events, Wales twice, Nice twice, Lake Placid & Maryland, Outlaw I've heard is flat and fast, sub 10 would be good.That would be a massive ask Jon. It's flat not downhill. With good weather I'd hope for a pb which would see me go under 11.15. Have to get it down before I'm too old. I think I could go sub 10 on the right course, I can do the swim under an hour and a 3:35 marathon, I just need a kind, flat or downhill bike route!

I am just over halfway through my Couch to 5k programme.... ...I'm hooked.
Did the Royal Parks Half on Sunday. When I did it last year it was my first ever half and I managed 1:45'10''. I'd been really determined to break 1:45 so was pretty gutted about those extra 10 seconds. This year I paced it a lot better and also used energy gels for the first time. Managed a 1:39'39''. Even got a sprint finish in. 😀I'm 40 next month so I wonder if I may have peaked now...
