Kim, update says people are not allowed to travel to Aberdeen for leisure so guess if it’s only a week I can run myself again ;-)

Welcome Raggedy. We're all lovely. Well, most of us. Fleecy* has an off day here and there ;)

*Only kidding. Fleecy pretends to be mean sometimes but she is always lovely. She should definitely check out the misanthropes' thread though.

You're so right about Fleecy. :-P Welcome Raggedy, grab a chair and there's bananas in the cupboard.

Welcome RR! All you really need to know about this lovely corner of Fetch is that 700 is neither necessary nor sufficient.

Good morning and a warm welcome to RR :)

Oh no LG, your local lockdown is a bit more extensive than ours :(

Feeling all chilled after a 5 min yoga stretch before setting off for work 🧘‍♀️

Morning all. Anyone got a foolproof mosquito repellent? They have plagued my sleep every night since I got here :(

Morning, :-(

That’s the thing NSC - technically I’m not in lockdown cause I’m in the shire but all my run chums are in the city and they are telling us not to travel into the city :-(

Morning all. Sorry LG :-( I hope this lockdown is short lived and you're running with your friends again soon.

Bootcamp IRL done, so nice to be in my lovely park again.

Still on my holidays, today a long walk is on the cards - Fleecy the plan is for an ice cream stop at our favourite vendor :-)

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.
