Morning gonks. Didn't run yesterday. Did a 1-1 printmaking lesson and was knackered after. Bloody loved it though. Off to collect teen this afternoon so we've got our kit on and planning to run for at least an hour.

Ok, when I remember/get the chance. Remembering to breath is the hardest part.

Breathing does make a difference (not being facetious)

Benches and bins are 'a thing'. Here's my old blog from Nuuk if you need some inspiration.

I have a feeling the bin thing started with a typo of 'binting' for 'bunting' and possibly also homage to one of the top Fetchies and 700ers, Bint.

I had a really smashing run this morning. Gorgeous views, briiliant sunshine, perfect temperature and no mud despite the potential for it in several places :-) Only hiccup was some slightly bolshie cows which found me rather more interesting than I'd have liked but I did the 'wide arms and shout' thing and it worked thank goodness :-)

Did the bin thing precede or trigger bint ?

I had forgotten about the beautiful 'Biggest, Bastardest Hill in Nuuk'

Enjoyed Effingham I blogged some pics, missed McGoobling but caught Fleecy, FM, the Commandoes and family Whiz which is a pretty decent haul of Fetchies in what was (literally and metaphorically) a small field

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.
