So after a quick 30min run this morning, my LeJog self has now fabulous views over St Ives Bay.
There is also a 18th century pub with the gruesome title: “The Bucket of Blood” !🩸 🩸 According to trusty Wikipedia, this is either due to a mutilated corpse in a well, or due to a run-off from local tin mines. But what a name!
Whilst I’m running with the pack at the back (at least there is a pack and not just me) the lone front runner has reached the region where my real self ran just this morning ... and ... which represents the goal for me on RunLeJog. Yes, so let’s make that brutally clear, the best runner has reached the point after 2 weeks which I am hoping to reach after 52 weeks. Gulp. 😱🥵😳
Other than that, love the runs, am amazed by all the runners and am enjoying the scenery!

Well done CBDB, I’m doing LEJOG4 too😊 It doesn’t matter how fast or far you run, this is about each and every one of us challenging ourselves to do the best we can💪and achieving it🙂 Good luck!
Thanks so much David. Yes, I need to keep telling myself that slow is ok. Slow got me to here, running regularly and enjoying it! But having others say that helps so much! So big thanks!
Yaaay CBDB!! I think you’re right in front of me now 😁😁!! I’m going to give a Bucket of Blood a miss! 😖 🤣🤣 We can meet up later for a drink 🍻 !!
It’s an horrendous day today with thunder and heavy rain, so I’m not going back out there today. Traffic has been horrendous too, so I will aim to go out early tomorrow, when it’s much quieter.
The LEJOG front runner is phenomenal!! 😱 Maybe we might not see as many postcards, but I guess we may see a lot more of the attractions on tour though. Well done you!! 🤩😁❤️
👍🏽 yes, def not the pub we’re heading to. It’ll have to be a bit classier! 😉
Weather: yes I was humming and hawing about adding the fact that St Ives has storm warnings and midlands/north we have blustery rain 💨🌧 . I even stole my husband’s running cap today!
Yeah: front runner really phenomenal. And I think I googled him and he has an even more remarkable story beyond running! (I don’t usually spy 🕵️♀️ on people but just wanted to know if the front pack is made up of professional runners)
I’ll keep a look out for that classy pub for our drinks!
Just uploaded mine for today. I’m not too far from the Tolvaddon Fire Station and a Premier Shop, so I will get us some cheap and cheerful refreshments😂! Very surprised 😲, I’ve done a total of 23.7 miles now. Tour on!! 😆😆
I should look at his story too! Might get some tips!! But not sure I’d be able to use them. 😂😉🤩❤️
😅 yeah, I’m constantly switching runkeeper between km and miles, just because of LeJog 🤪. And what a strange summer ☀️ it has been, all intense in both virtual 💻 and real 🏃🏽♀️.
Oh CBDB!! The weather is a mystery adventure all on its own. I found the FAQs and I just had to resubmit the MILES 🙄😂 with the same date and evidence. Wherever I get to, I’ll be very happy. I’m starting a new 10k plan as my Sept Quest. Not aiming to finish until November, but it will start me off short and slow....😉! If I make better progress than expected, it will adjust. If I don’t, well...it will be fun anyway!! 😂😂 Lets JOG on!! 🤗🤗🤩❤️
10k ... oh my! 🤩🤪😅👍🏽 is it juju’s magic plan you’ll be starting or a diff’t one? I can’t decide and I think I should not join this sept, as I have now scheduled to do the stepping stone podcasts in the next 3 weeks!
The plan is over 15 weeks and I start next week. No not juju’s plan. I hear it’s brilliant, I just feel a slower build up would be better for me. I’ve just set it up this morning on a new surprise Garmin that my friend bought for me. 😳
You’ll no doubt complete stepping stones and JuJu’s plan long before me!! Enjoy!! 🤗🤗😁😉❤️
Great run for you this morning CBDB, as we live quite close I’m sure at some stage we can find a classy pub around here to celebrate our achievements en route!
Ooohhhh, I’d love that! But just managing expectations, I splurge out virtually as in real live I can’t drink alcohol anymore (thyroid related). But would love to celebrate achievements for real & talk all things running, routes, etc! We will do that!
