Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Wow ITG that’s a lot to contend with. We were just speaking about the ash cloud chaos from 2011 yesterday and the fact that OH and myself taking our first holiday together was nearly halted before it started.

TM, hope your niggle eases soon.

Yay welcome Trin glad you came to see us.

That’s me off for 4 days now so I do hope I can get a run (or 2) done *crosses gingers *

ITG - I trust none of that stopped you running or re-clearing the ‘football pitch’.

ION, it’s been a bit rainy here, so a lazy day.

take more than a pesky bear to stop me, um.* As for volcanoes and earthquakes, probably safer outside, eh?

*not actually true. Said bear is not very close but I didn't go running in Ittoqqortoormiit because of bears.

Itg, perhaps you should pack a gun when you go out now, won't help with earthquakes and eruptions though. ;-)

I ran, it was very steamy after the rain today.

Thanks for the welcome 😊

A polar bear on the loose would definitely speed your general pace :)

Hello Trin :)

10 sunny (but very cold at times) miles this morning. Didn’t see any polar bears though. Have a long weekend off. Yay.

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.

If you do reach 700 miles before the end of the year, please reset your targets, so others can keep moving up the table :-)
