Hark the Heleg-Advent Angels Sing
Hello again. "Neither necessary nor sufficient" is my password to this thread, but it moves too quickly for me to keep up (a bit like the 700 goal!). My apologies in advance for being an infrequent supporter of others.

I'm back to moving with intent, with both feet off the ground occasionally, and without PF pain for now. That seems like a good enough place to start 2020.

Cautious good news, then.

I feel like I already have too much life in 2020 so am not booking any races for now. We have Vitality 10k but haven't entered yet. Ealing Half.

I quite fancy Colworth Marathon weekend but need to persuade Louise ;)

We (GM, Mini and I) entered Vitality 10k last year and really enjoyed it. We want to do it again but have held off entering as we got a cheap discounted deal through parkrun last year and we’re hoping they’d do the same again. Nothing so far...

Helegant - oh and Dipps, I was just scrolling through amazon kindle unlimited (having read evil pixie's blog) and found

amazon.co.uk

haven't read it yet, but might be worth looking at - with a free trial of unlimited ;)

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.
