Lovely pic.

Youngest Son is deferring VLM on account of persistently painful hamstring. He is gutted, but recognises that deferring is better than dnf-ing. He's still coming to London to cheer on a friend.
In other news I did the Burgess Park parkrun this morning. Intended to do 4:1 run:walk, but after the first 10 mins that plan went by the board and it was run all the time with a couple of 40-second walk breaks.

Ferret all I do when out and about is look at other peoples vans with envy and work out how we could convert it to camp in! What sort of van has your daughter got? And no, I hadn't used a competed, just been hoping it would deflate of its own accord but sadly still grape sized this morning so I went for it with a pin.

Glad compeed wasn't involved at that stage, the vans a VW T5, ex builders. They've taken bits out this morning & still deciding what/how to proceed. So envious but know we'll be able to borrow it eventually in Scotland. It's really easy to drive, comfortable & high views

On CStar's post on page 968 (I think) I could have sworn he said he would be wearing a red Sandhurst joggers top and Fetch knickers

A good, solid (if slow) 20 again today, including a very steady 5k Dulwich parkrun with our new beginners. It was so good to see their faces as they finished - and most of them had a decent sprint over the line, too. So many runners there today that they ran out of tokens!

If Fetch made knickers Paula, I'd be wearing them!

Fetch does knickers?
Lovely parkrun this morning with Formerly and Molesy, hilarious sprint finish with him being denied a place by a woman in a yellow top who was more determined than him :)

:-( for your son but :-) for your run Columba!

Mother now back in the care home for six weeks but she's already being resistant to to staying permanently. *sigh*

My sister has asked if she can stay the night so that's scuppered our Sidmouth plans *sigh*

Parkrunner collapsed and was defibbed then taken off by air ambulance at Chelt parkrun today. Don't know if he's OK. *puts all of above niggles into perspective*

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 :-)
