Columba
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. Am planning a long walk, to include cake and coffee at some point.

Hi Karl, pity about the car. There is no way I'm going to manage 700 this year but I'm not letting it bother me. Well, I'm trying not to let it.

Run done. The recent storms had blown trees down over the trail and the floods had washed more of the path away, so was pretty tough going in places. Still, it's the same distance as the race I've entered so I know I'll have no issues with that. Now I just have to do something about the fact that the race has 2277ft of elevation in it.... :-o

Oops, Ymee, not much you can do about that...
Ran to Rebound and back, got so cold on the way there the receptionists said they could feel it radiating off me! Warmer in the sun on the way back. Must find my gloves though.

15 of us ran our inaugural day-time session. That counts as a successful launch in my eyes :-). The pub we adjourned to afterwards had 2-for-1 on hot drinks too so that was, you might say, the marshmallows on the hot chocolate :-)

The two ladies who were our tailrunners were a bit anxious, not having done 5 miles for months and months but the joy of regular 'looping back' meant that the rest of us clocked over six miles and they didn't feel left behind.

Very pleased with how it all went, despite the cold and foggy weather. I almost certainly wouldn't have ended up doing over 7 miles in total by myself this morning so it was a double bonus for me :-)

Sounds fab, Daisy (including the hot chocolate!)

About This Thread

Maintained by Merrymoo
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 :-)
