That is bad TM. Probably everyone working in contact with people should have as much PPEA as they need right now

Um: it’s about 3 miles of horrible boring road to get there or a circuitous and hilly route I don’t know plus the canal path is shut in places. I’d probably be better off carrying along the river if I want bluebells, might be some further that direction

Going back to keys I lost our back door key and shed padlock key a few days ago. But as I never left the house that day it must be I house or back garden somewhere. Have put new padlocked on the sheds so that there is never a reason to take the one spare back door key out of the inside of the door.

How extraordinary TM. The stuff the local schools have produced round here has all been donated to our local 'hot hubs' (GP access/triage points). I can't believe that's a JLP nationwide thing :-( but I never shop in Waitrose so could be wrong.

My running club has pinched and slightly adapted the Athletics Weekly Virtual 5k relay idea. We're divided into neighbourhood teams (so each team's route is near people's homes) and we've got ten days for everyone in the team to run the route. Then our times are all added up and the lowest time wins bragging rights. I've asked team captains to choose a route that avoids busy areas (for obvious reasons of social distancing) and we're encouraging runners to go early or late for the same reason. I just hope people don't get the red racing mist - this is meant to be fun for our 'daily exercise' *and* socially responsible.

3.5 hilly hot miles done :-)
I picked this route a few days ago to maximise WSW squares but as my opponent this week doesn’t seem to be playing I could’ve done something easier. It was worth it for the views and the benefit of the climb.

TR, Mr W did that with the gate padlock - when it was locked... Everything is now going over the 6 foot fence, or through the living room, sigh.

Morning all. Off today but not Monday, so hoping to take advantage and do a bit of a run today.

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.
