Autumnleaves Apr 2020 2:20pm, 24 Apr 2020 14,902 posts	0 Autumnleaves Oh LD - that's awful
TeeBee Apr 2020 2:43pm, 24 Apr 2020 6,141 posts	0 TeeBee So sorry LD. So much awful news around
Corrah Apr 2020 2:45pm, 24 Apr 2020 5,452 posts	0 Corrah So sorry to hear that LD. Sending love and (((hugs))). Glad you got a good response Linds. I did turbo. It was hard.
ITG Apr 2020 3:13pm, 24 Apr 2020 9,007 posts	0 ITG So sorry to read that, LD. Horrible at any time but even harder when you cannot go around to visit. I know I CAN in theory take the two trail runs easy and as training, then the marathon would be fine. I also know that I am too bloody competitive and when the bell goes, I'll be off like the proverbial clappers. I'll have to work out a new training plan. Something to do next time it rains.

Dr PhFleecyD Apr 2020 3:56pm, 24 Apr 2020 49,684 posts	0 Dr PhFleecyD Sorry about your friend Latterly, what a horrible thing to happen at any time but particularly hard right now (())
Serendippily Apr 2020 3:59pm, 24 Apr 2020 17,394 posts	0 Serendippily ((LD)) ITG: all my advice was based on the fact that a) you’ll do it anyway b) you’re incapable of dialling it back c) the best I can do is encourage you that your sponsors know you will be thinking of your dad every step of the way and that neither the speed nor the completion matter a jot to anyone but you xx
Carpathius Apr 2020 4:11pm, 24 Apr 2020 19,368 posts	0 Carpathius I'm so sorry LD Deaths are even worse without the human ties that normally help support people. ITG, I agree with Dipps. I don't know what I've done to the top of my hip, but it's horribly painful
um Apr 2020 4:35pm, 24 Apr 2020 2,197 posts	0 um Going back about 2 hours and 5 pages LindsD - I googled to see if I coud find any evidence of Harrow allowing public use of their grounds during the lockdown. All I could find was this, 8 years old, and more aligned to your experience. theguardian.com

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.
