FiMac Flies Again! Great South Run for codebar

Hi All,

You may have seen the news that the Great South Run was cancelled due to the storm conditions in Portsmouth today. I have checked with the charity organisers and they are going to find out what the options are. I'll come back with an update here when I know more.

Thank you again for your amazing generosity. I am really gutted that I didn't get to run today after 12 weeks of training. I also know how much codebar needs support, so hopefully we will find a way to continue the fundraising efforts.

I agree with the race organisers' decision. It is important that runs are both fun and safe. In this weather the support services and infrastructure (e.g., finish line structure, medical and volunteer tents!) would have been at risk with high speed winds.

I'll let you know more when I have an update.

Thank you so much for your amazing generousity and your support of my social media post. I am delighted that together we have surpassed my original £300. goal, so the more the merrier. I am currently achieving about 12 km p/h on flat-ish routes, so hope for about 1.5 hrs for the 10-mile route. We'll see!

I have included the sock video from my recent -very-wet-run- for a laugh!

Also the version of R that I am coding in is... 
R version 4.4.1 (2024-06-14 ucrt) -- "Race for Your Life" 
It must be a sign...

Training officially started today. I am delighted to have had a lovely early morning run in Brighton today!
