I’m a weakling when it comes to upper body so massive well done ITG.

An enjoyable Total Conditioning class at the gym followed by 5 miles. Blowing a gale so return leg of run was much harder!

ITG
[it's mostly legs on a deadlift - i.e., to waist height. You'd be surprised, Kim. I can only push press 33kg (above my head)]

I ran with my sil dog once a beautiful Irish staffie. He trotted along affably while I was at full tilt. When we got to the river he stopped at barked which was apparently dog equivalent for “hold my beer I’m going in”. He’s very old and Ill now it is a mixed pleasure to remember him in his prime

ITG, I am lucky if I can push press 20kg above my head!

I did double pump last night. Off for a head torch run later round Kenny's route do will be a lovely way to remember him.

bunting for ITG's pb deadlift.

The fuel for my boiler comes in 15kg bags, and the only way I can carry them through from the garage is by wrapping my arms around them and holding them close to my upper body.

Ran 7 miles this afternoon. When I got to my usual stopping-place-cos-I'm-nearly-home, I had done 6.94. Couldn't have that, so ran on another .06.

It was wet, and very windy. Got buffeted around.

Nothing planned, Seren, but it's entirely possible. I can probably arrange something for the asking. Any Fridays better than any others?

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.
