This is where I was at 700 miles - down by my boats. Lovely black wheely bin behind the fence. The pic is from last year.

Well done ITG ...but fancy not knowing.

NF car parks still busy, but, apart from wldlife, empty once you get away from them. Still very dry - rivers are mainly dry shingle, bogs almost dry. We're getting to places we'd normally avoid (or be knee deep in muddy gloop).
A walk today - seemed very hot.

Quite a few separate deer sightings - this one the closest & most photogenic


But I also like these - the first was a little ball of fluff about 10 days ago, the second was a long shot in fairly dense woods.

Well done LG, I'm trying to get back to 60% WAVAs - not done one in a few years.

Lush 6 miles in the sun done, 3 miles slightly downhill....the 3 back were fun :-)

A nice 5 miles straight after work for me. A couple of wee chats with run club folks I bumped into. Lovely evening for it.

Nice bike ride today, lots of people by the coast/beaches, I thought it seemed like a Bank Holiday Sunday. I also saw a couple of traffic wardens having a field day issuing parking tickets.

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.
