Fragile Do Not Bend
Gentle-ish 4 miles today. It was supposed to be a long run but the arch of one of my feet didn’t feel right so I didn’t want to overdo it. My route took me up a particularly long hill, which I hardly ever get up without walking some of it, but today I managed to plod the whole thing (and got a PR on the strava segment :) ).

I know what you meant MM I just couldn’t resist :-)
Ran 5k. Not in a Sombrero or Sal time but all in one go without stopping nonetheless :-)

Well done, runners!
How long do I get to complete notaparkrun? I need another couple of days but I can't bear a DNS when it is in Akureyri this weekend.

Hi can someone please point me to the inspired virtual London Marathon photo blog (I think it was a blog) including such gems as a kids' playground boat standing in for the Cutty Sark?
TP has just shown me a similar thing for a virtual Rat Race and I wanted to show him the Fetchie version.
Cheers xx

It was DocM's blog and was fantastic. Not sure how to link directly, but I am sure someone else can help!

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.
