Rosehip Aug 2017 7:44pm, 21 Aug 2017 9,302 posts	0 Rosehip Thanks Linds - as I understand it he's having some sort of op for the circulation in his lower leg - a general anaesthetic at 84 isn't trivial..... I wouldn't want to be incommunicado in London just in case. Nice Dio Never been to Edinburgh - seriously considering visiting next yr lazy day here - apart from teaching youngest to cook one of husbands favourite dishes for his DoE skills thingy. Quite impressed with the cooking blog he's doing bodibakes.wordpress.com - oh and trying to find books from daughter's reading list on online Bintstore
Ymee Aug 2017 7:54pm, 21 Aug 2017 1,747 posts	0 Ymee Ooh 700ers meet up in edinburgh 2018? Made myself go for a run on the promise that I would go very slowly and not far. Found myself thinking ever so smugly "oooh I am enjoying this! I'm so good for making myself go out. I'm enjoying it so much I could just keep going..." At which point, Karma pricked up its ears, threw a tree root up in my way, and sniggered as I went spectacularly arse over tit. And as I lay collecting my thoughts for a moment, Ruby dog got bored and jumped in the river, at a point where the bank is too steep for her to climb out, so I had to stretch through brambles to haul her back up - luckily she was wearing her running harness. Came back with bleeding, bruised knees, and thoroughly dented ego. Twit.

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 :-)
