You can lose a lot more than 4 points per day ITG. It’s a minimum of 4 points per bug per day. Every time someone runs over one of your bugs the daily penalty increases by 4. Fortunately the bugs expire naturally after 30 days. Pre-lockdown there were some bugs in central London costing their owners over 300 points per day. It’s quite easy to turn it around though. With a bit of effort over a couple of weeks you can reverse a huge negative score into a positive one. I’m currently on -5800ish. Two month ago I peaked at +9000.

Relieved about VLM decision. I wasn’t going to be ready to race it in 8 weeks time. A combination of a niggle, mojo desertion and work pressure meant I wouldn’t be race ready. Might give the virtual run a go - if nothing else the T-shirt will be a reminder of these crazy times!

Hello and welcome Henry & RR. I’ve not been here long but they are a lovely lot.

Belated bunting 700 bunting Perigrinator. Excellent binnage!

Took Cheeky diving (scuba not Tom Daly) s a birthday treat yesterday so no running till tonight. I can report that I don’t think he diving had much of an effect - I think I would have felt equally knackered without it 😂 He’s back to socially distanced rugby training tonight so I took the chance to have 5m while waiting for him. Bit warm but nice to have a change of scene

I’m just starting to get into Fetchpoint too ITG - well I’ve been officially signed up for a while but only just started to pay attention. Another thing to get obsessed about! 😂 I’m not helped by being so rural that all the items tend to be in the middle of fields. Just remember when you pick up bugs to carry them out of your circle to squish them. I made the mistake of just thinking I had to pick them up the first time. I made a mammoth effort & got ten only for them to fail to disappear! 😂

Best way to learn - on the job CD. :)

ITG won't have any interference from anybody for Fetchpoint, unlike my patch.

I got out on my bike at teatime for a bit of Fetchpointing and bagged a few more treasures for this month. I went past the airport and all the BA and other planes have now vanished, just 4 or 5 cruise ships parked in the bay now.

My run/walk this evening was very hot and sticky. Better today than tomorrow, I think.

Hello and welcome to Henry.

Running club held a speed session on the rugby/football pitch outside the leisure centre, so I joined them. I rarely run with them these days, as I feel embarassed that they have to wait for me, but with a speed session it doesn't matter. I just do fewer reps.

Good that you could go along, Columba, and surely did you good both spiritually and physically.

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.
