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!

PT in the park done. We got rained on, I didn't think that was in the plan. I've got to make the most of the sun now and get out on my bike.

Oh dear.

As I was running šŸƒšŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø along the seafront this morning, there were 4 police cars parked up on the promenade. I noticed that a part of the beach had been cordoned off & the police were keeping the public away from that area.
Iā€™ve just read on the local news that a mans body was found on the beach at 7.20 this morning.

I couldnā€™t believe the usual idiots who were walking down the adjacent beaches taking photos with their phones. Why would you want a photo of some poor person dead on the beach?

Morning gonks. Systems down at work (again) so testing them every 10 mins so thought I would pop in for a catchup.

David, there's some real idiots around. :-(

I just don't get why people do that David.

A few miles for me in the sunshine this morning after a swift 9 holes with my golf buddy for a pre-Christmas catch up. Sadly neither the golf nor the running were of a particularly high standard.

Iā€™ve been, did 5.5 miles, got very muddy calves. LG, you can count 3 of them as yours.

14 days left and 60 miles to go.

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.
