You get a full cooked breakfast and use of the swimming pool afterwards but still....

bunting and medal (or cake and champagne if you prefer :-) ) for all those who got out and did in interesting conditions :-)

No running for me since Thursday ~ but two trailer tugging bike rides and a five(ish) hour game of Tug-of-War with bramble instead.

This running malarkey is an expensive business. Hope you get a nice medal too.

Races seem to be getting more and more expensive. I think my only 'big' event this year will be the Great South Run (I already entered the Bupa 10k immediately after the last one, so that doesn't count ;-)) and I'll stick to club races the rest of the time.

10 miles Bint :-o I did 4 and it was not pretty!
I wanted to enter Cardiff half before discovering it was £54. Bloody cheek. Mr Carp wants to do the London 10k which is £47 plus booking fee.

The Denbies 10 miler I did today (organised by the same company) was £21 which I think is a lot. £17 entry, + £2 as an unaffiliated runner, and another £2 'shipping fee' which is s cheek as they email you all instructions and you collect your number on the day. Great race and organisation though.

I also looked at the London 10k, - and looked away again.

Brilliant photos! Captured the facial expressions beautifully, not to mention the both-feet-off-the-ground running as you came round the curve having survived the BOD. Brown seems an unusual colour for tutus, though...

Looking at the photos is as near as I want to get.

Could not believe that Mankini man. He ran the whole race, in those near-zero temperatures, wearing no more than that?

9.3 mile long run this afternoon.

Mr. White
yeep - it's getting pricey innit? Think I'll bodyswerve the Edinburgh marathon (£50+) and go for Strathearn instead (Perth), much cheaper at £23 and it's a local-run thing (course is "a bit hilly" though) - I'll do a flat marathon one day :)

About This Thread

Maintained by iRan
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2016 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

bunting and 700er medals are often spotted around here.

Happy running :-)
