Excellent news AR! You're one of the herd now then, hopefully :-)

My running day today, plus a busy day on Zoom - strengthening class this morning, choir practice this evening.

Ordered a new pressure washer last night - our other one is exiled at son2's house in Devon - so when that arrives on Thursday it'll give OH something to do :-) The moss on parts of the drive were a potential trip hazard during my garden-parkrun last weekend ;-)

Just back from a four & half mile run.

I ran past the big Tesco’s at Durrington & the queue was already snaking through the car park. There was still 15 minutes to go before it opened.

Quite a few other runners 🏃🏼‍♂️ out & about.

I hope 🤞 everyone has a nice day. Let’s hope things return to normal soon.

mornin'. I got up for boot camp but Linds and Teebee must have gone to the early session. No other excuses for not showing up...

Morning all.
Sun's shining again :)
Will run another 2 miles or so this evening with the dog. Usual little walk at lunchtime.
Need to try to make the working bits less tedious.

Turtle, the intro is the best bit!

Linds, that's a very poor show.

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.
