Morning all! Bad night's sleep worrying about ice in the race route. I hate being the 'responsible person' sometimes! Have a great day everyone :-)

Morning :)

Poor night here, eldest had me watching a star trek film at bed time and I woke at 4am "fighting" Romulans (sp).

Is Yumee still running?

It's very sparkly outside in torchlight :)

Morning all!
Having a lie-in with a cup of tea and a cuddly dog (P is in Finland).
I'll be out for another run/walk later when the fog's gone and the sun is shining 🤞

Thanks for your support.

Meadowsboy, my weight definitely crept up when I was injured and it took a few weeks of very boring food measuring and calculating to lose it. But if tone, rather than weight per se, is your concern, can you find some upper body work to get on with that doesn't strain your injury? Is there a gym class you could tolerate?

apple apple Yumee. Awesome :-)
The barefoot runner made sit up in disbelief - a bit like the sea swimmers this morning. Was like an ice rink earlier but very pretty. Hope your ice has also melted LD.

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.
