Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

What a cute kittie and such a time waster. :) (Fetch isn't, of course.)

Mr Whiskers (the big fluffy cat) is sat on the floor near me in the sitting room. He often follows me around. The small one, Unicorn, isn't as loving but does like a snuggle from time to time.

I’m in RTTS - it was free to enter, I need an incentive to work harder, didn’t bother with medal/T-shirt, donated to heros instead. Not sure how to vote in the poll! Good everyone else luck & thanks for the link, I think LG. Not sure my race therefore training will work very well, there is a weird sensation just above where I twisted an ankle last year. Cabin fever, probably 😂
I hope you can swim again soon, Linds, I’ve just caught up. &: LD, have you been in yet? :-) I should have worn a wetsuit today to have stayed in longer, it was lovely but seemed chillier than last time.

The President of Iceland just wrote to the rector to thank him for a copy of my "good book about the Arctic" and asked him to pass on his good wishes :-o

(My co-writer is from the US, so I forwarded the email, mentioning that I thought it rather unlikely her president had read it. Or any book more complex than Hustler magazine for that matter.)

Even I, as a non-cat-person, can recognise cuteness in that kitty :-)

Ferret, not yet, so far my mornings have been taken up with walking the dog then doing my RTTS mileage for the day (7 incredibly slow miles again today) and my afternoons - well, yesterday, recovering from the morning run, and today, Fetching so far (though I may stroll down for a paddle soon, just to check the water temperature.)

Over half way to my marathon distance now. I have no idea what made me think I could do a whole marathon in one day, back pre-lockdown :-0 :-)

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: 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. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
