I made my debut as Run Director at Woodhouse Moor parkrun yesterday, which was good fun.
I've had issues with a niggly knee injury which means I'd only completed 2 out of the previous 4 parkruns since they returned, but it's so good that they're back again.
Well done Doobs on your progress.

The Parkrun restart has been postponed for another month.
I was targetting getting up to 5k again by the time of the restart, but I was struggling to be fair.
I'd probably have to walk for a bit if I did a 5k tomorrow, as I am struggling to last over 2.5k right now. I think that is at least partially due to the hot weather; 10C I am fine, over 20C not so much. Glad the hot weather is ending over the next couple of days, and my garden definitely needs some rain.
Was anyone else targetting Parkrun in 2 weeks?
I completed Couch To 5k for the 2nd time a few weeks ago, timed perfectly for the original restart. I ran the new course at my home parkrun (now a more socially-distance friendly route, going in the opposite direction) as the graduation run, resulting in one of my slowest ever times, and certainly the slowest time where I've ran a full 5k without any walk intervals. I know from previous experience that run/walk will result in faster times, so I'm aiming for 3min/1min run/walk splits when it returns. Ultimately, parkrun can be done any way you choose, so don't put any pressure on yourself by expecting to run the whole thing immediately. No-one will care (other than you, perhaps) if you walk parts of the course. Of the 51 I've completed, only 1 of them has been without walk intervals, and it was nowhere near my PB, which admittedly is painfully slow anyway.

i have been in a sleeper league for 2 season now when i joined it it was on yahoo i would love for it to be back on yahoo it has good things about it as it has taxi squad etc and the draft is much easier but general week to week IMHO it sucks
I'm playing in the same league this season and would say that Sleeper is the best app I've used for Fantasy NFL as a player. Gut feel is that the admin side of it would be equally impressive, but I've not used it. Apart from a slightly confusing navigation route into the message system on the app I really can't see what there is to dislike about it, so I'm intrigued as to why Iron hates it so much. If I was setting up a league these days, it would be the site I would look to use.

UPS is in breach of a district judge court order to ensure all ballots were delivered by the latest yesterday to the count locations
for example In South Florida, UPS failed to deliver 27% of mail ballots
Quite incredible and difficult to gauge what impact this might have had
In Florida, Michigan and Wisconsin, ballots that arrive after Election Day not counted, regardless when post-marked
It's actually the USPS, not UPS, where Trump employed one of his cronies, Louis DeJoy, as Postmaster General. It might not impact the final result, but it's an outrageous attempt at voter suppression.
