Lots of feeling down at the moment.

Dipps: I'm also bone-tired in the evening for no reason. Well, OH keeps waking me at 6am. But otherwise.

Been for a run. Feel a bit more equipped to face the day, though my armour is fragile.

That's a good description, Linds - 'armour is fragile' - that's how I'm feeling most of the time. Not up to facing challenges or doing anything too difficult.

My day for running but it took effort to get out of bed this morning. Went for a walk instead - a couple of miles in the countryside put me in a better frame of mind. However after German with J this morning, all positive thoughts now gone. ICT, maths, drama and 'RE to go. Wish me luck!

Dog walk done. I made a point of stopping to take photos of all the flowers I saw, and they were pretty cheering.

Now I need to cycle down to the pharmacist to pick up my prescription, and that'll be me indoors for the rest of the day by the look of the clouds gathering.

I hope my new laptop battery comes soon, I don't want to Zoom on my phone :-(

I did my last bootcamp and am now watching thr snow and waiting for birthday baby (12) to get up for pancakes. Take out pizza and cake later. I won't meeting my dietary goals today!

Morning all and virtual hugs for those who need them.

Managed a dry dog walk this morning now sat at dining room table working.

It's a strange old world at the moment eh?

Argh, have just had to change all my clothes as I got completely drenched by a hailstorm/cloudburst when I was on my bike. Of course the sun is out again now 😁

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.
