Every six weeks as part of the quest we are running a virtual race together. The last quest Love to Run Valentines quest we racked up 138.78 km. Here's is the map.

[notbad Graduate]

Really good to see our 'relay' - thanks!

[Hennith Graduate]

Ah, that looks great! Well done fellow Questers!

[Legion Graduate]

What a brilliant start, especially given the awful weather we've had. I wonder if we'll be visiting any interesting landmarks along the way?

[Hennith Graduate in reply to Legion]

Or watering holes

[Jenwrenarm Graduate]

Fab! Well done all!

[Anniemurph Graduate]

I love seeing it like this! Thank you for putting it together and for getting us going on our quests

[Tinyrun Graduate]

Love it. I can see me in the picture too. I think some stop offs to take in the sights would be a must. A virtual dip in the sea on the mum quest would be lovely (would have to imagine it will be much warmer too).

Lets see how far we go on this quest.

[waletta Graduate in reply to Tinyrun]

Oh yes Rfc, we should do some sight seeing on the way. Thanks for these quests - they really help. Love the idea of travelling the country too. Hope you're back out running soon. Take care.

Look at us go! Next phase should take us past the Black Isle, I recommend we take a wee detour and stop off at Cromarty, take a wee boat out and see the dolphins followed by a wee drop of 'Happy Chappy' from the Cromarty Brewing Co.

Not my home town but we went on a holiday there when I was young. Sticks in my mind because it was one of only 2 holidays we ever went as a family. The second was a caravan in Inverness but it rained all the time and 4 kids between 4 and 10 in a caravan must have been very challenging. So much so, we came home after 4 days

I went back to Cromarty last summer not long after my mum died and it brought back lovely memories!

Can someone explain what the quest is???

I am not sure what it all means, how are we raking up the km's?

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to Burstcouch]

Every six weeks we join up and agree a task we would like to complete In The six week period. It could just be to run three times a week or to get to a distance goal it could even be to add stretching in. It is very personal to the individual. That way it is not out of reach for anyone. The distance part of the quest is that at the end, just to commemorate us being involved be can log one run out of all your runs In The last six week. The run would be your longest run in six weeks. Then they are all added together and we mark our path. It is totally voluntary if you want to add a distance at the end. It's just a bit of fun that gives us something we work at together as a group. If you are injured and cannot run for a six week period you can be on the hydration stops. That way you can still be part of the quest and feel involved. I hope this makes sense.

[Burstcouch Graduate]

Yes and no. How & where are you recording the distances? Is it on this site?

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to Burstcouch]

The Friday before the end of the quest (this quest it will be 28th March I will put a post up for the run for Mum Quest. Over the weekend everybody will post and say how the six weeks has been for them at that time they will log their longest run if the six weeks.

So an average post will go like this:-

Managed 3 runs every week, time and distance going well. My longest run is 5km.

Then on the Monday morning (31st march) I will go through all the posts and add up all the individual distances. Then we will mark the collective distance on the map.

Then on the Monday of 31st march we start a new six week quest

It's just a bit of fun to get everybody to feel involved, I felt that it was nice to see something visually after committing to a quest for six weeks and this seemed the best way that made it all inclusive for everybody. So even if you joined the last week you could still log a distance run. Also it is important that people feel like a small run (which is what I do) is treated with the same respect as the longer distances.

thanks now its all clear.
