A work colleague fainted in the bathroom once, her OH opened the door to help and smashed it into her face knocking all her front teeth out! Ouch

Reggi is gorgeous! Kim I hope you feel OK now. I have previous for fainting (in an opticians and outside a nightclub being two really embarrassing examples).

We headed out for a walk today, we have wanted to walk Howtown to Glenridding for ages and never got the chance til now. Sadly after the steamer ride to Howtown it didn't take long (less than half a mile ) for me to know I couldn't do it. My fall has really, really hurt my butt and coccyx and going uphill just isn't happening. Off the scale painful, so we had to go back to the pier and wait for the next steamer back again. :-(. I will be resting or just gently walking on flat ground until this settles down.

In more happy news, we have had a lovely meal out at Zeffirellis tonight, veggie restaurant in town. We stopped eating meat for no particular reason* a few months ago, so having a whole menu of food to choose from was lovely. No cake folks but I did have tiramisu which was gorgeous. Very happy now and will take it easy until moon is better.

*actually a few reasons but won't bore you with it all....

oh dear, Lemon, not much of a birthday present. If it's still sore on Monday, you know what we will all say... get ye to dr! If it is hurting walking uphill, there might be some damage inside :( Poor lemon's bum :(

Sorry about the moon Lemon but the meal out sounds good. It is a tradition in our family that I *have* to have tiramisu at some point when I'm on holiday :-)

You were reading my mind ITG about Lemon going to see Dr or Physio.

I've fainted twice after giving blood, twice after cutting myself and now twice after overheating (last time overheating was at T in the Park when rather too many people also wanted to see The Killers and I got a bit squashed). So a kind of common theme depending on the circumstances!

Hope you're OK, Kim. I've also fainted at the front of a gig. The St John's Ambulance looking after me were trying to ask me if I'd taken anything and I kept saying 'Ribena'.

I have bought flat shoes for work. This now means I'll be running like a gazelle in a week's time, right?

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 :-)
