10 miles is one of those traditional distances that is getting a little bit of a comeback - depending on your injury state it's either a bit faster than a half marathon and you can push yourself a bit more, or it's a bit less stressful and you can probably make it round ok. Generally though they don't get entered as much as anything with the word "marathon" in the title. I saw this taken to a bit of extreme over the weekend at an event named as a "quarter marathon" - because it was one lap of two for a half marathon. Frankly I blame the metric system.
Future Events coming up in June 2017 - spot the ones with

How it went at the Hurt
 |
| Sarah wins lots of races. We actually have one of her winning Basingstoke on the wall in the office |
 |
| There's often a good reason for a 2" thick Oak Sign with the word "Caution" in red text |
 |
| But apparently, not that bad |
 |
| The dogs enjoyed it |
 |
| Just a bit bewildered by the hill |
 |
| Not as bewildered as I was !! |
 |
| The single eyebrow of calm concern and carrying on |
 |
| It's a bit totally unlike any drinking game you have ever done |
 |
| See. No pain. Nopey nope. Not here. |
 |
| "So there I was, And then I said to him...." are not the words I heard when this happened |
 |
| Hills can make you slightly halucigenic |
 |
| multi-thumbs-up |
 |
| Synchronised running is a thing. Lost points from the judges for a lack of thumbs on the left. |
With the continuning perfect running weather, we saw it all at Dorking
 |
| The Cyclists enjoyed the course too |
 |
| we never saw who he was with |
 |

 |

 |
| He Runs Reigate every year too... |
 |
| Competitive to the core |
 |
| zombies everywhere - RUN !!!! |
so on that note, make sure you enjoy the little bit of rain for the gardens tonight, keep yourselves dry and enjoy training in the slightly cooler weather.
Enjoy the gallery - and don't forget to order those pictures if you want us to turn up next year and cover the event again for you...
Finally, yes this app on my phone is great for making phone photos tangible and instantly permanent -
http://sspimg.com/get-a-free-chatbook I rarely make recommendations, but this does seem to work for me, and I'm usually too busy with work photos to do my own. Download the app and give it a go.
until next time

I really enjoyed the pictures! Cute captions, and the use of a chart to display info was a nice touch. Looks like you folks are having a lot of fun.
