Morning, lovelies.
Good work, LG - wish I could cope with early runs.
I have a sore hip - think it's bursitis. Not happy :( Just when running was going so well too .....
Sun's shining though :)

Morning all šŸ‘

Iā€™m a bit behind on the 700 forum.

Mrs12bar is missing the grandchildren, so yesterday she cycled over to our daughters & I ran with her. We obviously couldnā€™t cuddle the children, but we kicked a ball around & played a few games.

So thanks to running to our daughters & back, I racked up 14 miles for the day. Also, my wife was very happy to see the grandchildren at last. As Mrs12bar is a retired teacher, there were some subversive lessons going on as well.

Morning!

Sounds like a great day, 12bar.

I dreamt I was having a baby but I had to finish folding the washing before going into the hospital. As one does. Weird thing was that I was quite excited about havinganother baby, 12 years since the last one. Then I dreamt telling OH about the dream and trying to resist the urge to try to make one.

OH is still sleeping so I'm hoping the second part really was a dream and we've not done something daft šŸ˜®

When my mum was in hospital to have me, a lady arrived having given birth on the way, because she'd had to finish the ironing first (cos no one else would do it).

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.
