Morning! Managed to get out for a run last night (not far but I did go) before it started to rain. No run planned today.

Morning just dropped pinktinkbmc off at work. Wet here so no bike ride this morning probably a short run before late shift.

ITG ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ
Terrible night; ridiculously stressed and not much I can do about it. I am meant to fly to Greenland tomorrow but I need a negative covid test, not more than 5 days old, to be allowed to fly. I took the test on Monday, the earliest opportunity but I still don't have results. I asked yesterday and was just told the results would be potsed when they were ready which is no help at all. I am not a priority case because I am not sick and I have not been in contact with anyone so I am probably stuck at the back of the queue but now I am worried they have actually lost the test. I am going to have to phone today but I dare say I will just be told the same thing.

There is only one flight to Nuuk per week so if I don't go tomorrow then I will probably have to cancel. Even if I book for next week, I risk exactly the same thing - get the test on Monday and still not get the results in time. And I need to quarantine for at least 5 days in Nuuk which then leaves only one week to go into teach :(

I know there's nothing any of you can do but I needed a moan.

As you were...

Aw ITG no much wonder you are stressed. Results are back here usually now within 24 hours so that does seem a bit of a wait

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.
