Morning! Happy birthday, mini-Cstar.
(((hugs))) to everyone who needs them.

Back to work here (though I did my 7am bootcamp on the patio first). Glorious day but only a short run on the plan later; hoping for around 20km tomorrow.

I need to rework completely my training plan and think about what events to do - if any actually happen - in August. I need a bit of advice but I'm scared to ask because it seems so unfair when most of you won't get a chance to do any races at all for months :( I do feel that we have so far gotten off very lightly in Iceland (with huge credit to our government) though I dare say it'll be a long haul. But every now and then I panic that I'll never see my mum again, not necessarily because Covid will take her but because I'll not be able to go over if she gets ill with something else. OH's parents are tougher but he has an older aunt that in a care home that we are both very close to.

But enough. I realise that my anxieties are small-fry compared to what many of you are facing.

Hope CStar DD2 has as good a day as possible. This situation is double shit for that age -ish -group.

Hope you can manage a therapeutic run enough TR, damaged ribs are ridiculously painful :-( luck for quick mending.

Private schools near my daughter (Scotland) have welcome, come on in, notices up :-)

Xpost itg, I’m not qualified to advise but I’m delighted Iceland is managing well & I hope you can do loads of lovely training, including in that open air pool :-) Australia isn’t doing badly, if my family there weren’t shielding someone they’d be swimming etc. Girls back at school next week too.

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.
