.... well, no, not quite!

I did an extra 0.5k this morning knowing I needed 5.2k to get to my 80km.

Only trouble is 80.3km (my total so far) is seemingly only 49.896 miles! So near, but so far :D

Haha, there's still plenty of time but lesson learned - check your numbers properly before you go out for a run :D :D :D

It could be worse... I paced my first 30 minute 5k almost perfectly but forgot about the extra 0.11 miles 😂

167 metres won’t take long to run!

I was sat with my legs up a wall after cooldown all pleased with myself and then realised I hadn’t got my 5k PB!

I did 30k in 30 day challenge in Nike but did 30 miles just to be sure! 6 miles now for 50k in November.

Haha, that must've been really annoying. I had my shoes off and was stretching out by the time I realised. It will have to wait til Tuesday for me now. But at least I know whatever distance I run it should be OK

The annoying thing is the actual mileage is done, I just don't have the evidence! If Garmin hadn't knocked 2km off my distance on Friday (lost GPS I think) I would have all the evidence I needed in Strava right now; although MMR registered Friday's run correctly, a 16km run in earlier in the month had curiously ended in MMR after 10k - so MMR isn't quite at 50 miles either!

I add the odd run in manually, so if I knew one was wrong I’d delete it and then add in the known stats... this may only really apply to parkrun courses though I guess.

ahhh .. now there's a thought ... nope, I'll woman up and get out there on Tuesday. Patience is a virtue as they say :D
