My legs hurt. Good to see Soup Dragon again though! I was disappointed to come in at 30:11, and my wife knocked a good two minutes off her PB with 35:58!
Holder of the slowest recorded 274 attempt: 4 months, 1 day, 9 hours, 17 minutes, 32 seconds.

My wife will occasionally come and watch me, and she's going to volunteer to help out at a couple when the weather picks up properly. But she can't run.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
My wife would like to point out that she does not at any point like running and is only doing it because I do it. (Christ, I don't even like running, I just like the accomplishment from improvement.)palkanetoijala31 wrote:How come is it all u other tube challengers have wives or girlfriends that like running I can't even find one

And every birthday that passes with you still maintaining the same times is something good too.

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Cheers James, it was good to see you also. Looking forward to the next Saturday off and a chance to do it all again. I can't believe I'm saying this but I was a bit disappointed with my time, on reflection I could have probably pushed a wee bit harder. To think I set myself a target of sub 22 mins for the year and now I'm moaning about a sub 21 min time!jamesthegill wrote:My legs hurt. Good to see Soup Dragon again though!

One day I shall return!

Re: Tube Challenge parkrun league...
Just as slight amendment is 120 runs for me... I only noticed because I currently have the following pleasing pattern...
Runs = 120
Events = 60
Inagurals = 20
