Nice work 👏 I won a trail race the other year and got a bottle of scrumpy as the prize...not my kind of drink but I think they bottle feed cider from birth down here 😀

Are all the books set in Edinburgh? Having read most of Iain Banks and Irvine Welsh's books I feel like I know the place inside out despite only ever spending one afternoon there

Yeah I think his stuff is great. Blood Meridian is one I've not read yet but have read the three books of the border trilogy, and The Road. Blood Meridian is meant to be a bit brutal!

Trying to get thru the top 100 best fiction lists, though think it will take me years. Crime and Punishment was a struggle though glad to get through it. Ulysses I gave up on at 80 pages though I'll try again one day. The Great Gatsby easy read and a good book. Salingers stuff I really...

Watched Civil War at the cinema last week, very good. 8.5/10

Team relay event in Exeter last night, 4 x 4km. We had 5 teams out and I was the anchor leg in our best placed team, finishing 16th in 57.10 team time. There were some ridiculously fast youngsters representing Exeter Uni... their best team finished 10 mins ahead of us...each runner going under...

Expanded to include 6 teams from Central and North America , but I think they still plan on having guests in the future. I did read that they were going to invite Morocco to this one

27 players named there. Copa America squad size is 26 max

That is an early start. I usually get a Prem inn the night before if I travel more than a couple of hours, bet Chester ain't cheap tho! Decent finish time that especially with having to slow down 👏

How was the Chester Half?

Found it...

It's a good one. I did it once years ago when we still were in Cov. Two laps of the perimeter from memory

Really looking forward to it. We have 5 teams entered, with our team expected to go the best. I'm in a mixed team of male 32, female 32, female 23, and me at 49 bumping the average age up 😅. We're hoping to go under 57 minutes.... me and the two girls are fairly similar pace over short stuff and...

Good luck for Sunday. Is that a road half? I've heard the marathon is fast and flat but don't know about the half

Thanks 👍 I'll no doubt keep doing them but for the rest of this year just gonna enjoy the shorter stuff. Next up 4x4km team relay event 🙂

Shite performance at Exeter marathon yesterday. Started badly with a marshal not being in place causing me and about 50 other runners to take a wrong turn and do and extra KM 🤦‍♂️, added to the blazing heat and a shoulder injury I've been carrying caused me to pull out at 19 miles at Exeter...

Yes there is a fell race series on Dartmoor. I've only ever done the Haytor one but hope to do some this year

Ah OK. Is there a Devon team or just South West?

Good going, is that all English counties or just Midlands?

It's 33 miles so quite short for an ultra, however it is on Dartmoor so very hilly. Its called Dartmoor Discovery and is apparently the longest single lap road race in UK. Its not until June 2025 so plenty of time for training. I think it will be my one and only ultra but you never know. 45...
