Morning all

Last day in the office today, then on leave next week (but obviously not in Tenerife) will be attacking the garden for the next week and then working from home after that for the foreseeable future. I think my turbo and I will be seeing a lot of each other.

Fragile Do Not Bend
Dragged my sorry ass out for a run this morning. I’ve been in a bit of a funk about running since the beginning of the week as everything was being cancelled, got to try and find the motivation to keep at it.

Afternoon! I've signed up for the virtual parkrun :-)

Feeling a bit teary in a good way after several lovely messages from club members thanking me for sorting some 'issues' this week :-)

Have also been to the garden centre, and am sorted for at-home activity when the weather perks up, as it's forecast to, for the next few days :-)

Tsk Sarah coming so close to me when we can't have a Fetchie meet-up - but enjoy your weekend!

Found out today that the goal posts have moved again and I might be here until Easter now, perhaps I should have got out last week while I still could.

Turtlemama
Very weird at school pick up. The turtle sad she won't see many of her friends for ??months yet overjoyed she can still go to school and that one friend (who has an ED consultant and a geriatrician as parents) will also be in full time. Emotional goodbyes to her class teacher though. She's in her 60s so won't form part of the core school staff.

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.
