Hurrah for Molesey!

Am in Newport, ready for tomorrow's 8 miler. Or maybe not ready, but here anyway.

Newport doesn't quite compare with TeeBee's Marrakech .

That is the most fabulous news Molesy :) :)

Nice moons folks :) well done!

18 fail for me too Paula, just wasn't feeling it today at all. Luckily the yellow thing did indeed shine in a mainly blue sky and I did manage 7 and a bit miles around the fields trying not to run through the same mud patch/puddle twice. Will need to do at least 4 tomorrow for my moon worthy total though.

Getting further and further behind original plan and am soon to be losing weekends to uni visits :(

Thanks guys. I feel fine now, no idea what it was all about. And not too upset about the run, I have plenty of others scheduled and will be ok without this one.

Glad to hear that Molesey is back in business, that's great news :-)

Hurrah for Molesy's news - that really is excellent bunting

:-( sorry and commiserations about the stomach cramp Paula but well done on introducing Eli to the joy that is parkrun. I was RD today and apart from the same bloody grumpy dog walking man who, three years on, is *still* complaining about 'how dare we clutter up his park with all these nasty runners' it all went well.

Columba, I shall look out for you at the registration place tomorrow - I'm aiming to get there by about 10:30 and will be in my purple club hoodie/top so if you see me before I see you please give me a shout!

That's great news Molesy. Really chuffed for you.

Well done LG on mileage. Glass of vino in order to celebrate I hope.

Back from sunshine to snow. 😢 How depressing. Will be swopping sunglasses for gloves!

I came second in rear of the year. Thank you Carp. :-P

Bad runs just sometimes happen, it's easier to tough out a few miles but a long run sometimes just needs to be put to one side.

18.25 miles run in 3:32 (11:40 average), nice and steady and felt strong towards the end despite last 2 miles into a headwind including across a dam where it was so cold I thought my face was gong to blow off!

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 :-)
