Something a bit different today. Ran to the next nearest village westwards (2.67 miles) where the local Baptist chapel was holding a flower festival. Admired all the flower displays, had cup of tea and piece of cake, ran back home.

A flower festival sandwich.

I think weddings get out of hand so easily and can cause stress instead of happiness. Good decision MM!

Excuse haste - we have a brass band concert to get to! Very tough race today - but luckily I had done enough to keep my first LV50 overall. No category prizes though - just the glory!

I've just seen LG got MOTM. Well done!

Night shift tonight followed by 8 mile long run tonight. Will definitely take your advice and slow down! I'm currently running 10:30 min mile for 3/4 miles so I'm thinking around 12 min miles?

Well done AL bunting

I am almost as happy as if I'd won it myself.

MM, that sounds like a v good decision. I'm sure they will have a lovely day.

I went to a flower festival today, too. And had tea and cake.

Wheelchair pushing also went ok. Dad is surprisingly heavy.

Sounds like a lovely run Columba. No, it's a new injury to add to my collection. Last summer it was Achilles, summer before it was hip. Looks like hamstring(?) this summer.

Good decision from your daughter MM. It's their day and should be a day they enjoy and not be stressed over.

Well done AL; great achievement! Go and bask in your well earned glory.

Typing on a mobile with my fat fingers always causes those problems Columba! 😂

About This Thread

Maintained by Mandymoo
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2017 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.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed and sometimes even some running is talked about.

Happy running :-)
