Hello Trin and welcome! xxx

I have run. Quite cool but dry and I ran 5K with no walking for the first time in ages - feels like a bit of a milestone. 😊

I'd me at nore risk from a gun than any bear.

My polar bear strategy is more sophisticated: run with a grad student. Remember: you don't have to outrun the bear, just the slowest member of the party.

Hello Trin πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
Good running Sarah! I'm actually not sure when I last ran anything without walking!! I seem to maintain a better pace when walking if I get tired πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Hello and welcome, Trin.
The bear, like the virus, will grab the most vulnerable?
Moderately energetic walk, with hills and a bit of uneven grass verge (alongside road) thrown in.

I assume the polar bear report isn't just a ploy to keep people at home and self isolating :)

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.
