(also, I HAVE another credit card on my British account but I didn't take it with me as I wasn't going to be in a country using pounds. Doh!)

What a pain :(
My train home half an hour late. Evening run looking less appealing by the minute...

Evenage.

Ugh ITG, what a nightmare :(

I must run today. I haven't run all week. Totally stressing about Kings Forest now. I have done not nearly enough long runs. Any long runs.

Rubbish Carp, you’ve done a bunch of long races. Relax :)

Carp - don't fret and just get out the door tonight. A short run would help more than staying at home fretting about the lack of long runs. :)

ITG - that's piss-poor from the CC company. Anything we can do? (e.g. borrow a cc number from one of us until yours is sorted?)

Dooogs, nooooo! :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o

I am horrified at the thought of borrowing someone else's card! Anyway, I have a husband for that ;) My problem is more "point of sale" as I will have to use cash for everything until I get back home on 16th October but fortunately I have about 100 pounds in Danish money which should last till I get to an ATM, or worst case, Monday, when I can borrow $$$ from a colleague there if need be.

I'm a bit disappointed with the visa company (Icelandic). I sent the email with a cellphone photo of the written form (no scanner at hotel) and got an autoreply. They still have not sent me a personal reply to say they are taking action. I called again and was told it had been flagged and they were looking into it. Might take up to 45 days.

4 soaking wet, horrid miles - I'd forgotten how much I hate getting wet through. Still, Streaksaver done. :) I need an obscenely hot shower and a fluffy towel...

Morning all. Sorry I've been AWOL. Have stopped limping and am now off to Hasenheide parkrun :)

About This Thread

Maintained by Merrymoo
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2018 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.

Next year's spreadsheet can be found here - let's fill it up
