Same here. So could you miss one so I can have a go? :D :D :D

Random stat: our collective parkrun distance run is further than the distance from London to New York.
I'll be missing Sat 10th Due to a Coaching course.

My streak keeps getting broken by volunteering. If volunteering is included in the streak mine goes back to March.

Don't worry - volunteering doesn't count towards our table.

They're two different things. I wasn't proposing a change to the spreadsheet.

Two streaks perhaps - one for runs only and the other for runs and volunteering - but the second might need to be you saying "I volunteered this week at xxx course." and tubeguru checking that so he doesn't have to go through every course, as I don't they are in the run list as well.

Note: if they volunteer and run - make sure not to add two, but add one if they only run!

Keeping up the volunteering is too much work, as I found out when I tried to log it before.

Went touristing at Exeter today and did 23:41, which is one minute, one second off my all-time PB, which I set exactly one year ago on the same course. Room for improvement I feel.
