Carp - sad about Splodge. They (chickens, ducks,) do indeed have their own individual personalities.

2 miles fartlekky. Couldn't believe how much colder it was than yesterday.

We did our 5K virtual run challenge, just back a while ago. GF Sal has been running really well lately and hoped to get sub-27 (she ran her fastest ever 5K last weekend with 27:12). I wanted to get sub-25 (I'd ran 24:48 last weekend).....we set off together and turned around at 1.55 miles, going along an old railway line. I finished with 24:25 so was pleased....around a minute later I could see Sal coming round the corner....her time.... 25:56. :-o She's a bit over the mooooon.

That's really great running, Som and Sal! (Is Sal a Fetchie yet? :-) )

Having met her, Sal is a fetchie at heart. A definite good un at last!
5 slightly hilly miles and it was so hard in the wind, lots of twigs and pollen and crap swirling about making it hard to run and hard to breathe. Nice and cool though :)

Well done Som, Sal & Fleecy

Was going to go for a run but really windy so a lovely walk instead and I'm beginning to enjoy the open space of the golf course

Sal's not a fan of technology. Sadly I'm not sure she'll ever join fetch. She did a good one yesterday - announcing her spare running watch had broken. She couldn't get it to work at all.....turns out, it was turned off. :-)

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.
