I did the 'easy' direction from home today, and it was indeed a lot better than the two previous days in terms of ascent and running surface :-) I also had nice chats with two lots of lady dog walkers, and a family who were, like me, just following footpaths without really knowing where they would end up :-)

So tomorrow I just need 5 miles to complete my virtual RTTS :-)

Goodness Daisy you're doing well!
Dio - eyes and running - I was told by an optician that one is less likely to develop cataracts - or, they will develop more slowly - if one is regularly taking exercise that boosts the circulation. Such as running.

2 and a half miles walk this afternoon. Rain was forecast (just for a change) so I took a supposedly waterproof mac, and first there was just damp mist with some drizzle coming out of it, and then it rained harder and poured, and by the time I got home I had to change everything I was wearing.

Went running in the rain tonight - I don’t normally do that but it wasn’t cold or windy so I enjoyed it :)

Gone from running for 30 secs to running for a minute :)

Hurt my knee playing football this evening. I was hoping it would be ok for running but it’s getting worse.

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.
