Digging out ground elder roots, - that's heroic, Daisy.

Was going to have a rest today, - no running, no walking except as essential. But I did do some gardening; and then went for a short walk to reassure myself that the rest of the world was still in existence.

Heroic but ultimately futile Columba :-) There's such a lot of it I really need to dig out everything, all the shrubs and perennials, then spray the weeds with the strongest weedkiller ever invented, and I might get somewhere!

Zoom choir. It is a bit weird and I think I'm reaching peak Zoom. That was also partly my reason for bunking off my Zoom class this morning. It just emphasises how abnormal everything is.

Zoom choir... wonder if our organist / choir leader would go for that? But hardly any point since we can't actually sing in church.

Haven’t used Zoom that much TBH - a couple of gym classes and our fetch up and our Trivial pursuit night last Saturday. Did a video on messenger with run chums and that’s been it

How does your Zoom choir work? Do you get to hear each other, or do you just sing along to your own part effectively with a backing track?

There are loads of articles about how Zoom makes you tired. It certainly does me.

Zoom meetings make me tired too. I spend my working days on Microsoft Teams, which is similar. The last thing I want to do at the end of the day is another online meeting. However much I love my friends.

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.
