First bike ride for two years. At first the hills didn’t seem a problem. By the last 2.5 miles, into a strong headwind, with an aching behind, even the downhills were hard.

Well done Dio, - hope you feel it was worth the effort?

2 mile walk done, bringing walking as well as running to 41 miles for the month.

7 sunny miles for me. 114 for the month. Highest since last February. And I think my highest total when I’ve not been training for a marathon!

185.5 for the month. Never ever got near that kind of total before. Soooooooooooo tempting..............Coincidentally, also on 685.4 for the year...... so very, very tempting..... But it's a very hot day, and I've already run more than 8 today, and I wouldn't be that stupid. It's not like I have a track record of doing inadvisable things, is it?

Don't try it, Yumee! It's only a number.

You're on top of the 700 leaderboard at the moment Yumee - enjoy it for a little while longer :-)

Know how you feel Yumee. I’m on 499 for the year. Just one more mile to average 100 per month.......

Crikey 185 miles in a month? *faints dead away* :-)

My tummy seemed fine after a piece of toast so I went for a surprisingly pleasant 5 mile jaunt - surprising because my legs seem to have recovered from whatever ailed them on Friday. One footpath is obviously not used much so I have a nice selection of nettle stings on my lower legs but even that didn't spoil it. Amazing how blue skies and warm sunshine can buoy one up :-)

It's been a while since I visited here and any goals I may have had are distant memories, but well doen to all of you that are made of sterner stuff :-) My eldest daughter chose to run a marathon yesterday, around the local area. She had been meant to run London this year but chose to continue training while everyone else hit the sofa and seems to have survived lockdown remarkably well. But her miles aren't my miles, and anyway she's a strava bunny.
My miles are sadly lacking but I retain an optimistic view that I'll do more in the next six months than I did in the last six months. Which won't be difficult!

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.
