Paula, I remember once going out one winter's day for a run and my neighbour sniggering at me in my running leggings etc. A couple of weeks later, I saw him going out with his mod friends on his moped and dressed in his fishtail parka and I thought, 'Who looks like a twat now, eh?'

Brave man if you did! I must confess that even though I was red-faced and sweating I did still think that I’d rather be me than them.

Lovely run home last night (which took me to a very short-lived top spot on the mileage league). A couple of hours later I started feeling a bit iffy which I put down to lack of food. Had dinner, felt better. But most of the night I felt like absolute crap, and still do...

Morning. Thinking of going into Manchester to use the gym. Paula, solo interval sessions are really tough - especially in the dark, for all the reasons you mention.

Morning all.
Glad it's a short working week. My head is discombobulated.
Those adventure things sound like fun - shame I'm not closer.
Well done for having a go, Paula x

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.
