I just realised that I went over my bike target of 1200 today. I'll try and get a nice bin pic on my next bike outing for you. :)

* checks to see if Dipps is hiding in my cupboard * . I also had the cheek to moan I never got a toblerone for my Christmas but both OH and DiL said they never bought because I got 3 large ones last month for my birthday - neither of them know me well it seems ;-) . OH redeemed himself today with one in with the shopping

Excellent chocolate collecting, running and walking.

I worked today and decided to have a rest day from running as it was so blooming cold out. I used my lunch break to cut up a piece of wood into foot-long pieces as I had a sign to make for someone. My hands took ages to warm back up (I also did some lettering on the sign with a wood burner). Back on it tomorrow probably. Defo doing a 10K with GF on Wednesday as it's my day off and I need to do it for club challenge (will be my 8th "event" - need at least 8 to get a T-shirt.....I'm always up for a free T-shirt!!)....

SarahWoo: give your spare After Eights to your local Foodbank? Bags are supposed to contain something treat-wise, to alleviate the boredom of tinned vegetables and dry pasta. And UHT milk.

I expected to get to 100 miles for the month today and also get to my 3rd best ever annual total. However, I didn’t get out at all and I’m working the next two days.

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.
