9k run to the Ryde pier and back with son1 :-) With him alongside me I managed a sub 10 minute mile (just!!!) for the first time in months :-)

I think wearing shoes without my insoles caused the problem yesterday so as we're off out shortly I'm going to wear my runnjng shoes.

Afternoon! Did my Dr K run this morning.

Had my first swimming lesson last night since lockdown. Turns out, I'm the only one who has signed back up so 30 mins of a 1:1 lesson! Apparently my front crawl is quite good. Just need to gain fitness and confidence so I can actually get to the end of the pool without being exhausted.
Wonder if I will be the only one still next week?

:-) that’s great news on the foot LD, hope it’s fine this afternoon. & well done, Pin Lady, swimming on Friday evening is nails. My 5k this morning was mostly along the flat seafront winter parkrun route. It was slower than my unrealistic prediction but I’m happy because the effort half killed, me in a good way :-)

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.
