I posted this image of the brilliant Eileen Sheridan before, but here is tumblr's stupid position on it:
"Based on our User Guidelines this post contains sexually explicit content and is now only viewable to you."
I appealed, but within seconds, the appeal was dismissed. Isn't AI great?

My new Loopie to complement the one I got for LEJOG is now designed and ready for print. I like it a lot. 🥰
Sunday Runday!
I tacked on a bit of distance, but slowed it down a bit today. I have to remember that the key to surviving this long term goal will be being cautious in the beginning, then building from a good base.
Starting my 2021 Running Challenge
“The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.” - Chinese proverb.
As I’ve posted before, my 2021 running goal is to virtually run the length of the UK. The traditional starting and end points of this trek are Lands End on the southwest coast of England and John o’Groats on the northeast coast of Scotland.
There is no official long distance trail that covers the whole journey (unlike the USA’s Continental Divide Trail or the Pacific Crest Trail) from top to bottom of the UK. So there’s no official distance either.
Google Maps says driving the distance is 838 miles and the walking distance (largely using roads) is 813 miles.
People that walk the distance usually use a combination of roads, trails, and cross country walks. Distances can be 1,110 to 1,200 miles. If you sign up with those virtual race folks their distance is 1,083 miles.
I chose 1,200 miles for my challenge because it’s a real distance goal for running the full distance that equates nicely to 100 miles a month for 12 months. And it also makes the math as to whether I’m ahead or behind pace sooo much easier!
That said, I do plan on January being a lower mileage month. I took time off in December to rest an injured ankle, so I’ll take a bit of time getting up to the necessary daily distances required.
Day 1 is in the books:
2/1200 miles

Team GB ultra-runner Carla Molinaro has set a new female record for running the length of Britain.
LEJOG 2019 mixed podcast and wake up songs playlist
Every morning (with 1 exception when we were in the Bath Uni campuis) on the Ride Across Britain ride we were woken up at around 5/5.30am with a choice “wake up” song to get us up and out.
Having scoured the Facebook group, I believe that I have identified every songfor each day, so I thought it would be fun to create a playlist on Spotify with those songs, interspersed with my podcast ramblings from each day.
It might give a little glimpse insight into the bubble and the world of RAB if you are planning on participating on the ride.
In 2020 I want to move more. Get fitter, healthier and maybe a little skinnier. To keep me super motivated I entered 2 virtual walking challenges. I set myself a 2500 km (1500 miles) goal to complete over the course of a year. The other challenge is a virtual walk of the lenght of Great Brittain. 1083 miles (1743 km) from Lands End to John O'Groats.
