Sarah, TP has mapped a walk somewhere nearish Evesham. It's more of a "well if we can park somewhere along this road and walk along the river, we can pick up this footpath network" thing. The map shows a tower of some sort along the way, which I'm sure the turtle will decide is a princess castle 😄
Can't wait for warmer weather since canoeing is now allowed, but it will still be a bit chilly on the water for the turtle this weekend.

I have happy childhood memories, good grief would have been about 60yrs ago :-0 , of buying very delicious fruit from roadside stalls nr. Evesham. It is beautiful, we went there to a Plum Festival not so long ago, too.

Oops nearly afternoon. Forgot to say happy birthday to mini Millsey yesterday. Let’s hope there is still some cake left.

Sprnt 2 hours on a video call to one of my best friends this morning then got a phone call from my sister.

Weather looks dubious but I am in running gear and have a couple of challenges to get on with this weekend, so I had better get my act together.

Morning all. Long sleep thank goodness.

(((ITG)))

I spoke to parkrun HQ this week too and they just made me feel guilty for not keeping in touch with the community :(

Don’t feel bad Linds. Everyone has got a lot on their plate at the moment. Don’t think peoples top concern is parkrun.

Hope you enjoy your fake parkrun

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.
