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!

:) well done McG

We've had stupid windiness, but not huge amounts of rain. I've not been out much since first thing though as there is lots of "kindling" and the odd bucket flying around.

60/40 run/walk on the treadmill in my shed for 30 minutes. 2 1/4 miles.

100% more run than yesterday. 100% more than I will run tomorrow.

This now brings my yearly total up to 2 1/4 miles.

Wanted 3, but new shoes and also left knee twinging a little. And I appear to have forgotten how to breathe.

Someone was asking about milestone t-shirt sizing? From the parkrun website:

'Are these milestone t-shirts the same size as previous milestone t-shirts?

We’ve listened to feedback that previous milestone t-shirts came up short and had a tendency to ride up. Our new t-shirts are therefore longer in length for a more comfortable fit. Additionally, we had universal feedback that women’s milestone t-shirts were a larger fit. We have amended the design based on this feedback and they are now a better fit.
A size guide will be available on the product page'.

I ordered same size as normal on the 7th. Expected delivery 29 March. Some have been going out a lot quicker, i.e within a couple of days. Depends on milestone and size I guess?

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.
