Where are we doing tomorrow, Chaps?

EDIT: The bunch of Pikeys that forced the postponement of Wednesday's Decathlon 5K have now left LHP apparently.

I'm there tomorrow. You bringing your mate to brekky again?

I'll be there too. I want a photo with Peppa!

Just before you consume a member of her family?

Nah. She got offended when I called her a bit of a boar

Reckon I might nip up to Preston with LE. Check out The Harvester.

That should be 4 of us then. Good stuff.

It'll take more than that to put me off the unlimited sausage!

Don't start that on here or I really will harbour a grudge.

26:03 this morning. Not bad, but felt I did better. Hopefully can get under 25 soon.

Also, apparently Ned Boulting ran in my parkrun this morning. Which is nice.

[Harry Genshaw]

Tried really hard this morning and set off a lot faster than usual. It bit me in the ar5e halfway through. 22.47 20 seconds away from my best time this year. On the upside- breakfast was lush

If anyone ever suggests doing Cuerden Valley PR, knock them spark out. 4ucking hell fire, that was tough!

What was it like out of interest?

Shaved 13 seconds off my PB with a time of 26.34. Had enough in the tank for a Mo Farah-esque kick at the end to break into the top 100 for the first time (presumably due to a lower turn out but it definitely still counts)

Good going everyone. I'm with Bruce on Cuerden Valley. Don't know which feck* suggested that?

Well over a minute down on last week. It's all this training and not boozing messing me up.

You must have been focusing on your PB when you blanked my shout of 'Go on Beefy' on the out and back!

Did my first Bolton PR (in the rain, sort of) in 4 months after injury. Not as fast as I would have liked, but relatively happy with 30:45 after struggling on Cruella on the second lap.

I didn't even hear that, sorry!

You missed him outside the macron as well you blind bastard.

Ran 6 miles in the pissing rain this morning then took the Mrs. to Redbridge cycle circuit to ride her new bike. Did about 9 miles but MAN it was windy. 10 miles early tomorrow for a bit of fun. This 'taking it easy' lark is a lot of fun.

feck me that's a bit rich after the episode when I picked you up pre match!

No worries Beefy, you were clearly 'in the zone'!

good point!

After the horrors of Cuerden Valley pr, I've arranged to meet my parkrun touring mate at Lytham next week. Flat as a pancake apparently.
