Afternoon

Busy day here so far, some tidying up in the garden, cleaned the oven (hate that job), built my new desk for working from home and done some washing.

May nip out on the bike for a little pootle just because it is a lovely day here again.

Then I need to concentrate on my latest knitting pattern - a digger for the digger obsessed grandson. He wants a digger to cuddle at night 😂

I got a new baton from Marcus for our club PL
based on our little knitted mascot. He's rather cute so I hope he doesn't go missing!

It's a massive challenge - 2084 miles and 32000 ft of ascent by Christmas Day. It'll be interesting to see if we make it!

Very cute! Foot already achy after rushing about doing housework this morning so not running later. Done first coat of paint on the turtle's ceiling (there was a small patch of mould so have fungicided it) and blitzed the house. 3rd load of laundry in. TP is on his second cake (batch of chocolate muffins in the oven and he's just started a Dundee cake) then will make roast dinner for us all later. Stress of life = I run, he bakes 😂

Just got in from a lovely walk with the kids. Eldest complained that his legs hurt the entire time! Funnily enough they don’t hurt him when he’s in a play area just on walks themselves.

Now to attempt homework with the eldest before Sunday dinner and a run tonight

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.
