Matt With my sprained/twisted/mangled ankle, I'm declaring no running from me for a while (heard that before), so I will be reading your progress with an element of jealousy and frustration for a while, so please make it worthwhile and go and have fun! Go get your mojo and run your socks off!
Morning Run
From Graham: 20 mile run with these boys this morning!
10 Miler and 5 Miler
Planning ahead and trying to include fun facts and an interesting momento .. This I believe will be allowed as a " Hat " qualifying opportunity subject to proof of run etc. 10 Miler for your Hat/ Top up your other runs LeJog etc .. Saturday 1st August is Natiional Swiss Day Swiss National Day is the national holiday of Switzerland, set on 1 August. Although the founding of the Swiss Confederacy was first celebrated on this date in 1891 and annually since 1899, it has only been an official holiday since 1994.
5 Miler for your hat ...Don't go to for Baltonsborough 5 ( 31st Aug) Do Trinidad and Tobago 5 miler instead. Again can qualify for hat if you meet guidelines , proof of run etc. Trinidad and Tobago Independence Act 1962 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that granted independence to Trinidad and Tobago with effect from 31 August 1962. The Act also provided for the granting of a new Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago to take effect upon independence.

Claire Church: Kevin’s 4th July fastest mile challenge. 2 mile warm up (plod!) 3rd mile fastest, 1.5 mile jog home! Thanks for keeping us motivated Kevin!

From Deb: 4th July Fastest Mile - it’s fast for me at the moment!! Managed to run it all and not trip over - win win for me Thanks
Kevin Doherty for the challenge it was good to get the legs moving I did do the warm up and cool down as well.
Nick Cox: Squeezed a slightly faster mile in during my run
From Anita: This morning I stupidly decided to incorporate the fast mile 4th July challenge set by Kev with the virtual 10 mile Portland for my hat. Thanks Lesley for reminder. It’s the first time garmin has let me down, just as well I noticed it had stopped and thankfully didn’t delete the info!
From Lesley: Kevin's 4th July challenge completed - 1 mile as fast as you can followed by 3 miles cool down. Well done Helen on her 06:44 fast mile. Thanks to Kevin for organising another great challenge. A great opportunity for me to wear my 401 USA challenge t-shirt

From James: Kevin Doherty ’s 4th July Run - 1 mile PB of 6:16 apparently - it was nice to run at Steve Lye pace - thanks for organising Kev!
From Kat: 1 Mile challenge ...... did a mile warm up then went for it, feel now that maybe I could of done better, so something to work on as a bit of future speed training. Next 3 miles very steady doing the usual poo stop, stick throwing and today falling out with irresponsible dog walker whose dog decided to take a dislike to mine!! Sorry no photo, tho it would be pretty much the same as the last, in club shirt with pooch.
From Steve: Club challenge- 1 mile warm up, 1 mile fast, 3 miles recovering. Great little challenge and something different to keep the motivation going. Happy with my 2nd mile at sub 6 mins as 50+ mile weeks for the LEJOG challenge are taking there toll now! Good luck everyone.

Linda Membury who was a great support & encouragement all the way around.
Lego
From Anita: A great social distancing run with Lynne, Tara and Joanna this morning. Longest distance for many months for both Jo and me. And it just got me over the halfway point in my LEJOG challenge (442/874 in 60 days) so all downhill now I gather.
Hats
From Tim and Sharon: Completed the Portland 10 miler and added more miles to RATW and Hope 24. Decided to run to Monty and back via Ninesprings. A lovely breeze and sunshine. Lots of swearing from Sharon but she completed it.
From Richard: Virtual Portland 10 mile done, socially with Robert Adams, Yunmi Jang , James Hutt and Ru in the buggy!
From Marie: Decided to incorporate the fast mile 4th July challenge into my virtual Portland 10 mile for club hat. Fastest mile could only happen on mile 4 as took a while for painful leg to settle. ( hope this still counts!) anyway fastest mile 8.48 which nearly killed me.
From Taryn: virtual Portland 10 miler and a hat I think.
From Nick: Portland virtual 10+ Cheeky little half with a mile popped in the middle 8.37
