Nice running everyone - lovely morning for it - in the UK. ;-)

I managed 5 miles again this morning so I'll be pleased to see a blackheart again when the league catches up.

I think i'll join into this group and have set my target. My own spreadsheet is set to 750 as it seemed a more natural mid point between 500 and 1000 but this one will do me just fine.

Afternoon all! I had a lovely 6 mile run this morning, stopped at a viewpoint to record my not-parkrun video for our parkrun FB page (just about the least flattering thing I've ever done :-0 ) then got back in time to have our core team Zoom chat, which included our co-Ed's three day old baby :-) Lovely and sunny but a chilly breeze so maybe knitting rather than gardening this afternoon.

Well done AR! Enjoy the rest of your day everyone xx

Welcome kstuart :-)

Just had a 2 hour coffee catch up on messenger video with parkrun chums - it was great .
I have a trivial pursuit night with the family on Zoom tonight so I feel so much better mentally this weekend - especially knowing I should be travelling to Southampton tonight for the cruise tomorrow

Hello, kstuart.

Run done. Can't say I enjoyed it exactly but it is one that makes it more likely I enjoy it another day. Also did some treasure hunting.

Welcome kstuart to the 700 club.

Fake parkrun completed this morning. On my gentle jog back home, I bumped into Douglas who I know from the Deaf Club. We stood around for 5 minutes "signing" to each other. He was on his way round to his mum's bungalow to cut her hedge for her. I know his mum & I know where her bungalow is. Crikey, he's in for a long afternoon.

Really pleased with my fake parkrun PB. Within 2 mins of my actual 5k PB, too.

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.
