Thanks, I always go by the age old “spring forward fall back” only way I can remember it

Yeah I know that one but for some reason I still get it confused!! Still happy to know my next week runs will be in daylight.

The fun you can have with a head torch and high viz is amazing though :) I have scared quite a bit of wildlife! :)

Had to run early today and used a head torch I bought to find a leak in my loft earlier this year - never thought I would be using it for what it was invented for!

Everything comes in useful!! I am off now... a bit late, but as the schools are on half term, it is a little less busy! :)

Thank you and yes you will do it on Sunday, all about believing in your self, once I had started I wasn’t going to stop for anything had to slow right down (wasn’t going fast to start with) in places but that is the name of the game all the best for Sunday 👍

Thank you, I am on call all weekend so can’t go far or do much, must admit it feels good looking forward to see what week 6 brings 😀

The endorphins are enough of a reward, best addiction I’ve ever had 😂 hope you don’t get called out too much and still manage to enjoy your weekend
