Morning all. Ran with the Beginners, 3.7 miles with each of the 8am and 9am groups, and then walked back to the car to drive home. Pressed the button on the key but nothing happened. Pressed it again a few times just to be sure I wasn't doing something wrong (doh) but no, nothing. I remembered seeing and ignoring an alert recently that said I should change the key battery soon. Guess I should have taken notice. Fortunately I still had my house keys on me - I often leave them in the car but this morning I'd forgotten to take them out of my race vest when I got to the park. Win!

So an unscheduled extra 2.5 mle run home. Given my recent running and exercise, or lack thereof of both, I expected to walk most of it but it was fine and I ran it all.

10k done. Longest run for a while, and also the fastest. (Partly explained by being all on-road and also about as flat as you can get around here)

Well run, runners, walkers & turbo ers. Somehow, being lucky having the house key overrides the flat battery key, after that busy morning hope the rest of the day goes well. Also good wishes to the turtle family.

Glorious morning here, I had a great ride - my bike has a new bar end indexing unit, itโ€™s wonderful but cost more than the bike is worth :-0 Iโ€™ve no idea how but mrf managed to fix it so have bought him some special sausage rolls from his butcher :-)

Afternoon! Did my personal parking this am and as it wasn't raining, persuaded J to come out one of our favourite lockdown walks. 19000 steps done before lunch.

About This Thread

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.
