um Apr 2020 2:38pm, 8 Apr 2020 2,058 posts	0 um Gentle walk today rather than a run - but, not surprisingly, along some of the same paths, although in a different sequence as the past 2 weeks. And probably the scorchio-est day of the year so far. Full on t-shirt, shorts and sandals weather. Nearly needed sun tan cream. For those that are treasure hunting, I may have submitted too early - 3 pics I got today that I could have used instead.
Lip Gloss Apr 2020 3:21pm, 8 Apr 2020 39,297 posts	0 Lip Gloss I'm off to find a gym class to do. I think every morning my leg is getting better but then if I have to run to get in the work door case someone is waiting to let me in I can't even run 100 yards
Groundhog Apr 2020 3:25pm, 8 Apr 2020 749 posts	0 Groundhog I have been a bit short of work, but am keeping myself a bit busy attending the office HSE and Positive Mental Health Champions briefings. This was a nice graphic to take away from the PMHC chat.
Carpathius Apr 2020 3:49pm, 8 Apr 2020 19,255 posts	0 Carpathius Currently in a queue outside a Halfords to get brake fluid for the car. I'm on my bike (due to aforementioned brake fluid) and have dropped off/collected needful things at various friends' porches. Lovely photos um I hope you get a good class LG.

Peregrinator Apr 2020 5:50pm, 8 Apr 2020 542 posts	0 Peregrinator I think the graphic ^^^ was done by this person: forbes.com can anyone confirm?
Turtlemama Apr 2020 6:15pm, 8 Apr 2020 792 posts	0 Turtlemama Evening all. I'm reasonably content today. Just done 2 short (10hr) overtime shifts to bank the hours for the school summer hols. So at work by choice and the sun is shining. Came home to TP handing me a glass of wine and the turtle wanting cuddles on the picnic mat on the lawn. And she's watered my veggies and done some school work 😊. "Rest" day tomorrow involving PE with Joe, a short run, a bit of home schooling (yes it's holidays but it's something to do and we can work outside) and doing battle with Waitrose. Huge hugs to those not feeling so good today xx

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.
