Happy New Year! Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2020.

Quick trip round town for me this morning -5k - as we have friends coming for lunch and I need to get cooking!

Dipps - could you put me down for Coniston 14 on 21st March please? Thanks.

Happy New Year, everyone! No NYD parkrun for me, alas - currently trying to stop four under-10s from beating each up whilst playing Wobbly Worm, and then off to the Trafford Centre for lunch and dodgems...

I've just realised that I've signed up for ZERO races so far! :-o I managed 9 (non-parkrun) races last year, so that's something to aim for.

Cyclopark parkrun completed. It was busy as you would expect, and my official time is going to be about 30 seconds slower than my real time as the token queue was backing up over the finish line, but that doesn’t really matter. I hope they don’t get complaints though.

We are now hanging around in a service station to kill time before we go off to an orienteering event.

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.
