Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Nice bike ride this afternoon, I couldn't believe how many bikes were out today and lots of VE Day parties going on - well, people sat in front of their houses. I stopped at a friend's and had a tour of her garden on the way back.

That’s good ITG.

A general question to the PhDs here ... assuming people choose a topic that fascinates them, after 3 years research into it, are they generally more fascinated, or sick to death of it?

I chose a topic for which I could get funding, so I was sick of it most of the way through and even more sick of my supervisor :)

Run done and week 2 of C25k done! Took everybody’s advice and ran slower today. Felt very comfortable and like I could up the time I spent running. Thanks for the advice all!

Park was so busy - full on cricket matches going on and everything.

today surprisingly good fun: c9 used up the last of the chalk, the neighbours are still out there singing Vera Lynn but it’s funny rather than too stepfordish. And then I went square collecting and saw baby lambs! Just born, being licked upright but still very wobbly :-)

More fascinated, even though nearly half a century has gone by.

Morning all 👎

It’s supposed to be very hot 🥵 down here later on, so once I’ve drunk my tea ☕️, I better get out the front door & get today’s fake parkrun completed.

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.
