Hard core, Dio!
Was glad I moved my run with my friend to tomorrow instead of today. Went swimming for the first time this year instead!

The frost hasn’t lifted here all day so my run will be interesting but first I will have to scrape my car windows

Sorry about your fall, Dio. Doesn't sound fun but at least no major injuries. I walked to work and am now postponing walking home again, possibly until Saturday.

Ow Dio! I hope it isn't too sore.

ITG, yup, typo. Although both are correct.

Just got my rota and I'm working nights over Christmas. Could be worse, and at least I'm now being paid for it!

Ouch Dio. My last fall was on a wooden bridge. They're bloody lethal with trail shoes.

Today's "lunchtime" run was really good. Got wrapped up nicely and aimed for a sub 26 5k. Managed it fairly comfortably. Now back at work, hitting the refresh button waiting for work to come through

Thing is, I was careful on all the other ones I'd been over but my mind was elsewhere on this particular one, and then the path turns 90 degrees to the right at the end on to tarmac. Luckily it's nice, smooth tarmac so didn't cause much damage. Haven't fallen for a while, so I guess I was due one.

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.
