I won Bevendean in 2019. A few second places too.
Now that is a hard one to win. Not like my record.

I'm only jealous as there's no way I'm ever going to to troubling those who finish in the single-digit places. I'm all about the plodding these days, especially after Bruno the Cockerpoo seems to have lost his running mojo! Unless we're going downhill, or he's chasing after a squirrel or the odd passing vehicle, he barely makes it up to a trot!
Who’s doing Phoenix 10k on Wednesday? I’m giving it a miss this year as running fast is not doing my Achilles any good.
I’ll be there watching though.
Sheffield Endcliffe parkrun on Saturday - very crowded - 600+ runners many celebrating NHS 75th anniversary. Ran well until Achilles started hurting after 4.5k and jogged home.

I'm not running but have a race number if anyone wants it.
Loving the new table @Curious Orange
Hoping that an imminent birthday will help me inch up towards that coveted old git’s top spot, but I think my chances of ever catching GNT are pretty minimal

Good work @CHAPPERS , I look forward to placing you in the top ten - especially as it means I don't get knocked down a place for a change, having been 10 seconds slower than last week!

Ah! Table updated, welcome to the top ten... and a pox on your house for knocking me down a place!

Doing a great job Orange. I'll give you the £20 I owe you for erroneously putting me above Bad Ash.
Dawn on the Downs tomorrow - anyone else?
@jimhigham - are you doing photography- if so how will I spot you?

Afraid not. I’m up in the Peak District on Macmillan Mighty Hike duty this weekend. Best of luck out there.
