Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Well done everyone who got out in horrible weather and ran a bit or a lot. No running here, but 3 Foodbank deliveries which necessitated a certain amount of weightlifting.

Well done for getting out today all those that made it, most likely in weather that I didn't have to endure. :)

The weather here was not bad at all, certainly much better than yesterday’s all-day deluge.

:-) Haha, you are mean ITG. I actually loved it (same as yesterday) - love getting properly wrapped up and getting out on the trails. Yesterday a lady told me I was mental. I didn't even know her....

I am mean. But peace reigneth once more in Villa ITG. I got a "post" from school about 12yo - he was caught up in something and the teacher was concerned about him. I took him to cello (because he hates cello and I wasn't going to let him off that easy) so when I picked him up, I asked if he wanted to talk. He said no. 30 seconds later he started talking.

I asked how he was getting to football tomorrow and he answered in his smart-ass way. I suggested he "try again" so I got a "please would you take me to football tomorrow?" It's as much of a victory as I can expect but I do anticipate a short honeymoon period of pleases, thank-yous, and less eyerolling, sighs and muttering.

I couldn't get out til late afternoon but that was fine because I had the most gorgeous light from the low sun and the red cliffs - and a rainbow!
A short run but a lovely 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.
