I put an annoyed message on the Clanfield Challenges FB page last night. It's on 17th May, supposedly. Every day they put a new 'are you pumped/excited yet?' type message on the page and haven't anywhere, least of all the race website, even acknowledged Covid-19.

The race we did last year (Ridge Off Roader) on the same day as we couldn't get in to Clanfield has been updating, have postponed etc. Because: common sense.

Morning all.
Running gear on ready for run at lunchtime (if I don't have to change it will help prevent procrastination).
Looking forward to the house being full of MrW again this evening. Not good at being home alone.

I've done my Thursday morning club (anti)social run. Lots of other runners out and about but we all gave each other a wide berth :-)

And the postman has just brought me some Mother's Day flowers (via Bloom and Wild letterbox flowers) from Son2 and GF. All is as good as it can be :-)

Thanks PH. We discovered that, but walked on to Waitrose which opened at 7.30. Carnage.

That's nice, LD. I'm feeling much better this morning, too, after my first week online teaching.

It's at 6 Linds - can you manage that?? I'll ask the trainer - see if she can do a special online rate :-)

It's on Mon - Thurs, but I only usually attend twice a week. I've messaged her to see what she thinks.

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.
