Well done to all those that got out today.

Lazy day for me as resting before my second event of the year tomorrow!! I will be doing some running laps round Goodwood motor racing circuit and hopefully reaching half marathon distance.

Weather is awful at the moment but is supposed to be dry although cold in the morning which I can deal with.

Some lovely pictures on the thread, both yesterday and today.

ITG, that sounds like a win (yesterday, 12yo)
Just over 3 miles done this morning, early for me, but the forecast was for rain/snow so I thought I'd better go while it wasn't precipitating. However, no precipitation has arrived.

7 miles to go to reach the 400. On the 400 league table there are 5 people ahead of me, but they have all completed 400 and are off over the hosizon.

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.
