Afternoon all.

Was a good night LG. Though some of the questions/music a bit of a challenge if like me you were under 40!

I had planned 10 but did 5. Have new long run trainers and haven’t run in them yet so thought be a bit too long a run to break them in. Hopefully got longer run done tomorrow.

Afternoon all. Am away so hard to keep up. No running or activity of any kind other than case-lugging.

Fragile Do Not Bend
Afternoon, I’m feeling sorry for myself as I’m still lurgified and not run for over a week, but I’m ok enough to go to work (just about).

I keep trying to tell myself it’s not as bad as the flu that knocked me back for months a couple of years ago, and it’s not going to ruin my ultra training.

Anyway I should stop moaning and say well done to today’s runners and other exercisers.

*smiles encouragingly at Daisy's non-complaining foot*
Hard frost this morning so decided against parkrun which was probably cancelled anyway, and went for a 3 mile run later after the sun had melted most of the frost.

Lovely day here. Parkrun was cold but not too muddy ( compared with previous weeks anyway). Glorious sunset.


Suggests it's going to be frosty tonight.

That's beautiful PL :)

Try putting a space between the word IMAGE and the number, and it ought to show up in the post. (Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs).

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.
