800 miles postcard LEJOG4 ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hello all. Well first of all I'm glad all the slush has gone which was made worse by it melting then freezing again . The pavements were like an ice rink in places as the temperature went down to about 1 degree.

But today actually felt warmer as it went up to 6 degrees so had the tshirt back on.

I went out today for a longer run of 10 miles which was very enjoyable and I got a pb of 1.41 and I've found my favourite flavour of SIS gels, fruit salad. It was very tasty.

Entered my mileage on the LEJOG website and I received my postcard for 800 miles so not long to go now.

Happy running ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ…๐ŸŽ…

Congratulations on that 10 miles PB and getting to 800 miles on LeJog, it was great to see the back of that icy weather last week, you now have only 74 miles until you get to John O Groats, I know that you will complete it before Christmas, perhaps another Half Marathon if you feel like doing that would be a excellent way to complete your wonderful achievement with Lejog. ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿ‘

Wow Buddy, 800 miles and a 10 mile PB, that's amazing work. ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽ†๐ŸŽ‡๐Ÿ’ฅ

I do hate the ice, it makes me very nervous when I'm moving around so I'm glad it's warmed up for you ๐Ÿ˜Ž

I'm the same, I struggled running in the warm weather we had over the summer and much prefer it when it's cold but just not icy โ„๏ธโ„๏ธ

My new phone seems to have decided that I should not get HU notifications ๐Ÿง so Iโ€™m missing when people reply to me.

Love this, especially the Fruit Salad!! Last big push now to get you to the end. Congratulations on your 10m PB. A really good time ๐Ÿ˜€
