A friend who's a doctor at St Thomas' is also running to work from East London and has shared photos of her route. It's quite amazing isn't it? Unnerving is also a good word for it though.

I noticed how strange it was in the garden yesterday without a bit of usually seemingly imperceptible background traffic noise. It was so quiet, apart from the birdsong.

We are technically under the flightpath for Birmingham. Far enough out not to be deafened except for the twice daily Emirates flights. These days we live in silence and it's both lovely and weird!
My elderly neighbours say it's like when they were younger, before the airport was anything other than a small, mainly cargo terminal, and when the A road alongside us was a track!

I love that link Linds.
I'm in bed looking at the moon through the velux and listening to the fetch podcast. I'm feeling very blessed heart

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.
