Millsey
Morning.

Been out for a run this morning. Took a different route than normal as I’d got rather bored of going exactly the same way every time. Saw 4 other people while out, one of which was my dad who was out for his daily walk! Managed to wave at him and have a quick conversation at a distance - absolutely made my day. First time I’ve seen him in over 6 weeks

Morning.

May require sharktopus to get me out of bed and out for a run. Could do with a few more squares for WSW mulitiplayer just to be on the safe side.

Haven’t been found in the new hide & seek game yet. It’s been two days of non stop action. I don’t think anyone thought it would be as quick as it has been!

Morning gonks. Millsey that's ace.

We're off for a long run in a bit, the plan is to run to the lakes and back, I've not ran there since lockdown. It's my happy place.

Lovely, Millsey.

OH woke me at 5am and asked me to take him to A&E. His toe hurts. He banged it on Tuesday. I kid you not.

I gave him parkoden and told him I'd take him at 8am. After half an hour of fussing, I told him to call them. They told him to go at 8am. Obviously.

Anyway, he went, was sent home, and they will call again when radiography is ready.

OH has some very strange ideas about the purpose of A&E.
And a rather unsympathetic wife.

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.
