We’ve been for a lovely, sometimes muddy walk along the river around Tewkesbury. Have bought lots of lovely fruit and veg from a market stall, pies from the butcher and fabulous scones from the bakery (glad we were able to avoid Tesco).
Social distancing in the motorhome is working well so far :)

TP and the turtle went out for a lovely muddy walk across the fields and woods. It's a 5mile route I sometimes do as a trail run and they had a great time. They also managed to get most things in the shops.
I'm wishing I didn't still have 3 night shifts left!

Ran my virtual parkrun then added another 25k for good measure. Legs making me pay for it now! A lovely young collie followed me for a bit before I realised it wasn't with the woman out for a walk but lost. I called the # on the tag and woman said she would come to get her. I waited in the cold, then the dog went tearing after a jeep that I think she was driving but she hadn't seen us. Hope it was her. I sent a follow up text but didn't get so much as a reply let alone a thank you. Gorgeous dog deserves better.

Hello all.

Still here.

No running done. Slow walk twice round the lake with OH, who seemed less downcast today than he did yesterday.

Hello Columba! 👋

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.
