(My spell checker thinks that should be chip rather than chimp, but I'm overriding it) I think there are walkers who still do it so come back in quite late.

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.

Happy running :-)
