Back from a long(ish) slow(ish) run in the heat ...
A few days ago was my first 2020 UK shorts & t-shirt run.
Today was the first shorts & Fetch vest - which became topless after the 'hill'. I hope I didn't scare too many cows or horses.

So the run - still the same general area (there's a surprise) - but we headed more or less due east to start along some 'new' paths - well, paths we haven't run for quite a few years.

So - a lot of garlic, then an audience. No cheering and disgraceful lack of distancing.
After a few fields, back into woods, a mile or so south of yesterday's pics. But similar scenery.

And the half way dip (aka the 'hill') from the opposite direction. Again, you can see Mrs Um doesn't hang about waiting.

One of our GP's negotiationed pizzas from Domino's so that was a nice lunch time treat.

Great pics um, looks a lush day.

I felt positive getting up this morning. Went to Morrison’s for 7:30 and as I have the day off was contemplating a little run down the coast. I was out less than an hour later for what ended up as a 10 mile run in completely the different direction, very few people or traffic to contend with - unlike my last run on Saturday where I had a complete meltdown and rant on Fetch.

Staying positive though even if our lives are upside down at the minute, feels like I have the same routine and have done for weeks - get up, go to work, come home, go to bed.

Stay safe everyone and take care x

Happy Anniversary, TeeBee bunting
Great run, um, & very laidback marshals, but don’t mess with them.
Lovely cycling out there today, would have stayed out all day but didn’t, time to come home & stay inside.

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.
