I didn't even know what a phd was - I'm a bit fick I am. :-o

Run done, nearly 5 miles, very warm by the end and a lot more people out and about already which I wasn't expecting. Lovely though. :)

Lovely runs and photos especially the sheeplets :)

Was going to run, but instead am sitting in a hot car in the vet surgery car park waiting for a chicken.

Feeling a bit sad as I should have been running my first ultra today, although I probably would have been cursing the heat.

On the upside, I have a new toy to play with - a motion activated wildlife camera.

Went out early(ish) and got a 10k done. Quite a few runners out even then and it turned out pretty warm. Glad I didn't leave it any later.

Youngest son has a PhD but that is the nearest I get to one.

Afternoon AR (and everyone else!) My 10k was terrible :-( l don't know whether I actually cba to run further than 5k without walking or I've trained myself during lockdown hilly off road routes to employ jeffing to get me round, or it was far too hot and shadeless, or my disturbed night affected me, or I'm just getting too old. Perhaps a combination of all of them. Whatever, as 10ks go, it was very much a PW.

Never mind. A sunny afternoon in the garden awaits :-)

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.
