Afternoon! Arrived back late from Bristol (6.30pm) and could've made the club run but tripped over something in the dark, it had a fin and tentacles??? My outfit has arrived, minus the beard so I'll be Dopey. Pretty fitting as I may have to leave the house around 7.30, it's a fair drive and I don't like rushing. Ice? No-one mentioned ice :-) . Next thing is do I wear the costume for the drive??? I've never done fancy dress running before so assume I still wear my shorts/top underneath. Popping into Sports Direct after work hoping they have some cheap gloves. If they don't no big deal, never worn gloves before and done some crazy mud/river runs in the past. How many dwarves are there?

Yes turn up in your costume. But take a full change of very warm clothes for after, and a bin bag to put the costume etc in. Make sure what you wear underneath won't get too waterlogged or you'll get cold, merino is very good if you want to keep covered, or go for the shorts/tshirt.

Try latex gloves if you can't get neoprene ones.

Yeah new course at Bracknell but apparently its just over 2 laps and I've heard the hill in the woods is a bit more severe than the current one.

I won't be there tomorrow doing a distance run with the club with any luck and planning to run (slowly) to XC on Sunday.

Afternoon all. Arrived at my mum's house to find upstairs loo cistern has been leaking away for weeks :-(

Astonished by first estate agent's valuation (*much* higher than expected, even in its present state!)

Second estate agent may not be so gung-ho. We'll see.

That's good news, LD. Apart from the loo, of course :(

I have done some yoga. I enjoyed it but now my head aches. I think I need to eat and drink.

Been scooping Fetchpoints around town. I had to do a lap of the car to tip over from 6.99 miles to a much more satisfactory 7.00. The cafe was frying sausages and the pudding factory was making sticky toffee. #runaromas

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 :-)
