I'm not sure if it's a Newport or South Walian idiom, but "up the" and "down the" are well used in this house. Like, if we want a posh coffee we go "up the Celtic".

It reminds me of Harry Enfield's Stavros character, who was always taking his wife to football "up de arse', inni'"

Another PB at the BSE Parkrun up to 135km now.

Small 2017 PB (23:15) at the Newport Riverfront parkrun. It honestly felt faster, like sub-23. but I was held up a bit at the start. On the return leg it can get a bit spread out, but I ended up running the last 2k with a guy so ran it hard.

Only 20k this week. 
470+20= 490.
Only 10k till I hit the halfway point to my 1000k target.

Well done!

Ive got a long way to go to get close to that.

Thanks! It's all relative I guess, I probably won't get near my all-time best this year, but then I was a stone lighter and in more protective shoes.

Forgot to log one yesterday
21st May: 624km + 8km = 632km.

Today was a rest day.

7 very sweaty miles along the canal yesterday.

mcsdan

Couple of short runs last week, then flew to Guernsey and ran their ultramarathon following the coastal and cliff paths around the entire island. 36 miles but blimey the number of steps up and down for first 16 miles. Very tough on the legs. Cracking day out and helped a good friend out pacing/supporting him on his longest run yet. Loved it. 

Next big big race in 18 days time. South Downs way 100. Looking forward to that one

668m/1075km

'up the Celtic' sounds like a posh 'Centre Parcs'.

Does c25k count in this?

It can be, it has a "ropes in the treetops" course type thing. It's also, apparently, "the UK's Best Hotel", the Celtic Manor. It always reminds me of The Shining whenever I drive home from work though.

I can fairly safely state that that ISN'T what "Centre Parcs" is a reference to. 
Google "mumsnet centre parcs" if you want further explanation. 

Back on the running theme 
490+ 15 puts me into the 500k club!
505.
