Hippy Bath day ITG. Is it traditional to eat lots of cake?

I'm about to get up, not much planned today apart from making a wooden sign for a commission and then off to a place called Riddings later as a shop there want to sell my artwork. I've never heard of it but only half an hour away. Will drag the teen out for fresh air.

Happy birthday, ITG!

I should reach 700 combined running and walking today. That's absolutely arbitrary because I haven't logged most of my walking.

OH is making carbonara, has a home-made semifreddo in the freezer and presented me with a huge tin of biscuits. Just as well I got those running shoes!

I think we have a couple of new people in the league as I seem to have dropped down a couple of places, but I have gone through 400 today. :)

(I don't think so, Woo, but they could be! I got them in the wiggle outlet. Still wearing them in the house! So cosy. But I will mostly use them for winter walking in the ice and snow rather than running.)

Happy birthday ITG

and congratulations to all those hitting targets :)

I ran for the first time in over a month this morning - had an extended spell of cba. Just 2.5 miles, same pace as last time I ran this route in September but ave heart rate 15 bpm higher. A fair bit of fitness to regain I think....

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.
