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!

Mornage. Legs tired today after 3 days of back to back running, but was nice to get out properly. Have refound running mojo, especially as DD2 recovered from injury so I have my Lockdown running partner back. The two may be connected I suspect.

Sorry about the chook, Carp. I totally get it, Still miss ours.

Rest day, CStar, from running anyway. Sorry NSC, :-( missing the city, I hope you have suitable weather for making the most of home. I won’t/can’t say staycation but autocorrect saved me the trouble :-) Take care SarahWoo, & don’t be blown away when you go out - actually that applies to everyone, it’s blowing a gale on exposed places

Out early to catch the Vulnerable People's shopping hour. Now home, with coffee. This is one of the blowing-a-gale locations; maybe the whole country's got it. Planning a walk later.

It was blowing a hoolie earlier. It's now more 'gusty'.

I ran the 7 miles to our daughters this morning along the seafront. That was a big mistake. The wind must have been gusting to gale force. I got blown to a standstill on more than one occasion. It really was a struggle.

All I wanted to do when I got there was fall asleep on the settee. Unfortunately the grandchildren had other ideas.

Mind you, it was a grand run home later on.

Seven very *very* blustery miles brings me to 400 miles so far for the year :-) Trouble is, because of the updulations an awful lot of my running is actually run-walking ;-) Looking at my training log though, I've already climbed nearly 1200m so far in May alone (plus 1000m walking) and in April I did 1600m ascent running, and 2800m ascent walking. For someone who used to avoid hills that's quite pleasing :-)

I’ve just received an email from the organisers of the Giants Head Marathon saying that the race is cancelled.

I’m not surprised, but on the other hand, I am disappointed. I was looking forward to running in this event. I’ve never run it before, but I’ve never read a bad blog about it. Oh well 😔, such is life.

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.
