Is anyone still keen to do this on Thursday?


Would Dulwich park be the preferred meeting point or would meeting by Goose Green or Peckham rye be easier?


It would be good to get an idea of what kind of distance people might want to do and I can sketch out a potential route?

This website may be of use to you Mrs G www.mapometer.com you may already know about it though. If the park is closed at that time you can run from the court lane gate down to the village, left into the village, throught the village, left onto the south circular, left onto lordship lane, left back down court lane back to where you started. That route is just over 2 miles and may be a good first session while you all get to know each other's paces etc. As long as you just turn lft no one can get lost. Hope this helps - sorry I can't help interfering!


Have a good run!

I run, and am reluctant to go out alone in the evenings now that it's dark. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see how you do in terms of pace/distance (I can't generally do Tues or Thurs but occasionally have those evenings free). I can comfortably do 4 - 6 miles at 9:30/10 min mile pace.


Alternatively, I sometimes run with my baby in the buggy (meaning boring laps of Dulwich Park!) immediately after school drop off in the mornings. I did 3 laps this morning, so let me know if anyone fancies joining me (my pace is slower with the buggy).

Sounds good to me.


I can do this Thurs and both days next week hopefully.


I've just signed up for a 9 mile run with my colleagues so need to get training!


Could I suggest meeting by Goose Green, maybe outside Jojo Maman Bebe? So that those of us from all corners of ED don't have too far to come from?

Pickle, I fear the dark nights closing in too!


I'm training for a 1/2 M and during the week I do medium speed run (prob about 10 mins mile pace) and/or hill session and/or sprints - let me know if you fancy meeting up one night. I normally run on a Mon (to nursery for pickup) and Wed/Thur nights.

Glad it's just not me Mrs Glennie! Nursery staff are starting to get used to my alarmingly red and sweaty face. My top tip is to leave bottle of water and warm layer in the pram at nursery, so you don't seize and dehydrate too much once you've done pickup.

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
