Carpathius
I was aiming for sub-30 at notparkrun today, but came across my friend sitting in a bus stop in the rain and hail just after halfway. She said she just couldn't run, so I dragged her with me to finish it.

I was way colder and wetter by the time I got home in the rain, sleet and hail than I ever have when swimming. My hands were so painful I was very nearly crying.

Crikey Carp, well done for getting out in such atrocious conditions. You don't live in Siberia by any chance do you? I hope you had a good soak in a hot bath when you got home to warm up.

Busy running morning for me. I ran the Jingle virtual mile & then fake parkrun. By the time I got home I'd racked up just under 8 miles. It's cold & windy on the South Coast at the moment, but the weather forecast for this afternoon is pretty diabolical.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

AL, ooooh an office! I remember them.

Great work Carp, NSC and 12bD :-) You're all stars.

Corrah, well done on defrosting the freezer. Mad times.

:-P

-9c but it the wind and snow have stopped. I ran 10k while DS12 had football then decided to put in another 5k. Scones made and now working on tablet (takes a lot longer than I thought).

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.
