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.
