PaulaMc Apr 2020 12:58pm, 23 Apr 2020 9,280 posts	0 PaulaMc Speed work day today but I’m really not in the mood so I think I’ll head off to do a few short lunchtime loops of One Tree Hill (the South East London version). This will involve walking as well as running.
LazyDaisy Apr 2020 12:59pm, 23 Apr 2020 29,950 posts	0 LazyDaisy My dog walk lasted for two hours today, because I bumped into (well, not literally obvs) a former colleague I haven't seen for nearly 10 years, and, separately, two running friends. The dog just lay down in the sun while she waited for me to move on
Fragile Do Not Bend Apr 2020 1:10pm, 23 Apr 2020 5,785 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend 5 mile run done for the first run of the local inter-club ‘lockdown league’. Managed a good time for me, despite it being quite warm and having to walk up a couple of hills.

alpenrose Apr 2020 1:20pm, 23 Apr 2020 43,815 posts	0 alpenrose Lovely LD, well, you had nothing to rush home for, did you? I quite like bumping (not literally at the moment) into people you know whilst out and about and stopping for a chat. When you live on your own it could be the only human contact you have in a day.
McGoohan Apr 2020 1:55pm, 23 Apr 2020 44,828 posts	0 McGoohan Back from a 5 miler. Jeez it was hot out there. Back to early mornings for me I think.
Serendippily Apr 2020 1:58pm, 23 Apr 2020 17,359 posts	0 Serendippily I walked around post office trip. This caused me some angst as to do so means sacrificing a run and/or a walk with c9 and mrS tonight. But it’s out the way now and I can always run at midnight if I’m desperate
PaulaMc Apr 2020 2:16pm, 23 Apr 2020 9,281 posts	0 PaulaMc Back from 2 miles of run/walking. Felt awful and had zero energy, and events since my return would suggest I've picked up a stomach bug. It was very warm out but I wasn't in the sun long enough for it to have been the cause. I'm going to sit very quietly this afternoon. If I continue to feel awful I'll take the laptop up to the bedroom which is beside the bathroom.
um Apr 2020 2:16pm, 23 Apr 2020 2,188 posts	0 um I can confirm it's hot - we were planning a short, steady 5 miles, and decided against water. A mistake. Anyway, we went south again, via the village shop to post a card, and via different woods. Cutting through more bluebells, der prints (but no actual sighting) and a few trunks to practise. Then we came to the road - this is as busy as it gets, with more bluebells, before reaching the local 'Grand National' stretch - see fetcheveryone.com/blog/43889 if interested. The 'different' woods The road And at great risk, a new 'white' flower. I thought it was going to be a white version of the yellow archangel from last week, but it doesn't have nettle like leaves. Lots of bees all over it.

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.
