Morning! Off to the seaside this morning. It doesn't look like a good running day anyway - dark, wet and cold!

Morning all!
Why the 14th, LG?
Not much daylight here today either.

An hour's wet dog-walking to look forward to at lunchtime.
Happy Thursday, people! x

I went to the pool early this morning and did my 40 lengths. It was horrible and rainy and dark on the way. I thought, 'at least it'll be light on the way home'. It was still horrible, dark and wet when I came out. It's still horrible, dark and wet now!

Morning :)

No PT in the park today, due to the shit weather. I'll have to do something at some point today.

Word with OH and he is being more supportive of the strike. He asked 12yo to hang up the washing - he literally flung it over the lines in a pile and some remains on the floor. Boy then walked to football practice in a blizzard - to find out it was cancelled. He slept in and was nearly late for school today and did not make a packed lunch so will be hungry. (OH got him up with 15 min to spare.) He has still got 2 glass beetroot jars in his schoolbag to hand in (since Monday) and he has no way to get to football training tonight. He is also still sulking and refusing to admit that I might be useful.

15yo is being nicer though.

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.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
