Morning all!
My mileage has taken a tumble, literally. I fell 3 weeks ago, avoiding walkers ( a route I regularly do and never normally see walkers ) had to go off piste, tripped on a tree root regained my balance only to trip on a small tree stump which resulted in my doing a full face plant. A lovely lady stopped and supported me from a distance. She insisted that I called MrL, with hindsight that was a good thing because I probably would have just walked home.

Long and short - broken nose ( I heard the crack) and a face that looked like I had done 10 rounds in a boxing ring.

Tried running last Friday but it didn’t really happen, will try again at the end of the week.

Have a great day and take care.

Ouch Lorraine!!

Morning all. Not a great night, feeling very down and emotional. Got the online link for my friend's husband's funeral last night. I can't go since they've reduced the number of people allowed yet again. Devastated I can't be there for her. I was thinking I'm coping with the "New normal" but I'm not.

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.
