It seems that several (3) of us planning graduation runs on Sunday are scattered all over Europe - Italy, Portugal and Cornwall. We plan to start on the dot of 8/9 am depending on time zone.

If anyone else can join us, we might make the earth tilt on its axis.

How many can we enlist? It doesn't even need to be a graduation run. Just a commitment to start your 30 minutes at that time. Graduation is just for those on W9R3 but all are welcome.

How many countries can we include?

If i hadn't run today I would have joined you all just for the 'fun' of it, but after today I don't think my thighs would take it!

I don't do dry January but I'm off alcohol until Easter so I don't have that decision to make. Lovely busy day at work so I'm a bit tired.

I’m off alcohol except when going out and once at the weekend. Which sounds flaky but it feels more of a lifestyle choice permanently rather than being on/off. Excited about tomorrow hoping weather is kinder and am going to Baghdad roundabout route I reckon…

I'm awake too. The sun isn't up yet and I'm not sure what the weather is doing. I hope you slept eventually.

it’s like being a kid I wanted to make sure I didn’t oversleep and ended up not sleeping much…

Anyway this gladiator is ready! Happy synchronicity today 👍
