#LEJOG4 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🐕🚶‍♀️

[Buddy34]

So I got my postcard tonight for 300 miles into LEJOG4. I'm about 307 miles in so not bad for 7 weeks .

After being out running this morning and 2 dog walks there is now 3 pairs of trainers stuffed with newspaper under the radiator

😊😊

Excellent, not long before you get to Scotland, I think you will complete LEJOG4 in 6 months, not 12,. 😊 🏃🏾

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

That would be a great birthday present to myself AlMorr 😊👍

Being able to count the walks too is pushing you forward at great speed, and you seem to be running loads

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I actually never realised the amount I walked until I started tracking it. Really helps with the running as well 😊

You are doing amazing! I’m in the sane cohort and just got to 150 miles 😊 it’s been a soggy one today! Looks like it will be for a few more days yet. Don’t mind it once I’m in it....it’s getting in it that I find tricky 🤣

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Sparkey5000]

The rain hasn't stopped even for a second today . 🌧😊

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Great distance so far, oh my, the rain. I erected the clothes horse everything was so wet, must go wipe up the drips.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

Thanks. The mop was out after my run as I was dripping on the floor then same again after the dog walks.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

It's to rain all night but should be off by around 7/8 o'clock on Sunday morning.

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Lovely run this morning and now the sun is shining. Loads of flooding in the fields though😢

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

I did not go my normal Sunday morning bike ride today, I will do that on Tuesday afternoon on the course that I do my running to see how much flooding there is, I intend to run at least 8K on Wednesday morning, perhaps more depending how I feel.

I am glad you enjoyed your run this morning Grannyhugs, at last the sun has appeared, at the moment I am watching the London Marathon, there are thousands running it virtually, including GTFC our friend on this forum, good luck to all those runners.

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10]

Goodness Buddy, you’re really racking up the miles! Well done - hope you all dry out soon!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Oldgirlruns]

At this rate I'll be needing more trainers😉

[Katnap Graduate10]

Hooray for old newspapers and radiators!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Katnap]

Exactly. I used to put kitchen roll in them and it was rubbish 🤣

[Hidden]

This is absolutely fantastic Buddy! Great mileage done in the time too. Gosh it really does add up. So pleased you are going great guns and the next big milestone will be 400 then nearing half way. Amazing. I love hearing all about your runs and progress 😊😊😊

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you . Are you running the VLM tomorrow?

[Hidden in reply to Buddy34]

Just done it 😊

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Congratulations 👏 👏

[Hidden in reply to Buddy34]

Thank you 😊

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10]

Well done Buddy! You’re making fantastic progress. I’m on 193.91 miles so you’re a good way ahead of me!

On the plus side I’m passing by Bristol on the M5 now so I might pop home for a cuppa! ☺️

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Yes you should . I've still got a bit to go before I reach anywhere near where I live😊

[cheekychipmunks Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

By the time you get there Buddy they should pop open the bubbly for you! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 😅

[Wenderwoo]

Fantastic! Are you anywhere near Yorkshire? If so, pop in for a brew 🫖☕👍😁

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Wenderwoo]

I'm on the M6 near somewhere called Hyde Lea, Stafford. But haven't got any clue as I'm from Scotland 🤣

[Fionamags Graduate10]

That is fantastic! You are absolutely flying!!!

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

Quite a bit to go yet 😊👍

[Raspberrypink Graduate10]

Well done. That’s some distance you’ve covered 👍🏼

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Raspberrypink]

Getting there😊😊

[Scruff55 60minGraduate]

Wow 🤩 that’s great going Buddy34. Nearly half way. I’m in Cumbria wave as you go by 👋👋👋

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Scruff55]

Knowing me I'd probably need to use your bathroom for a pee🤣🤣

[Scruff55 60minGraduate in reply to Buddy34]

🤣🤣🤣

[Madloonmary Graduate10]

Can I ask what is this LeJog?

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Madloonmary]

Its a run or walk challenge virtually from Lands End to John O Groats. Its 874 miles and I've got a year to do it although I'm hoping for 6 months😊😊

[Madloonmary Graduate10]

Oh ok, how do you track it? I see people are writing about exactly where they are on the journey. Kudos to you its a very long way, good luck on your journey.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to Madloonmary]

At the end of each day you calculate how much you've ran then add it to the mileage app . There is then a leaderboard and you can then look for yourself on the map 😊

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10]

That's brilliant Buddy. Well done. I've no idea where I am I haven't updated the app for 2 weeks!! 😟
