Morning :)

(()) for those in need, but on the bright side, it is Friday. :)

I started wearing my Goretex walking shoes for PT in the park as I was fed up with having "trenchfoot" after each session on the wet grass.

Indeed AR :-)
Beachy has been complicated by them needing sweepers so I may be walking the remainder. I get a hoodie out of it.
Fleecy is it the plough and Harrow you usually stop at? Thinking that might be somewhere I can stop and wait for the sweep team

Morning all

What not to do a few days before your first race in 15 months (5k race), try and run your 5km pace for 5 miles and wonder why you blow up!!

Blame my running buddy, who couldn't run with me and I was just so pleased to be out and go carried away... definitely not my fault my legs ache today

Checked in to Reykjavik at 0800. All good.
0819: text message that flight to Nuuk (1130) is cancelled!!! More info later...

Spoke to check in assistant who called. There MIGHT be a flight at 6pm tomorrow; might not. I have to go to Reykkavik and wait and see. I'll have to stay in the hotel and since Covid is raging in Reykjavik, I can't risk going anywhere! (Maybe a jog but I certainly won't be eating out.) I don't know anyone in Reykjavik well enpugh to stay there esp with covid going on. The absolute worst thing I can do is pick it up and take it to Nuuk (zero cases for months now).

Waiting to depart to Reykjavik and get more info there.

Also: my covid test will be six days old tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜ฃ๐Ÿ˜ฃ๐Ÿ˜ฃ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

Moral of this story: don't try to travel till we have a sodding vaccine! Stay home, peeps, or ay least in driving distance!

And if I do get a hotel room, check in is about 4pm! Wtf will I do all day with a big case? It's quite near the uni but that is covid-101 and I am not sure guests are allowed anyway.

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.
