Top swimming Helegant!

Um, I noticed the cruise ship fleet when the idiocy at Lulworth Cove was being reported on the TV news and had a look at the marine radar app. There are certainly some big ships hanging around off Weymouth!

That sounds lovely Helegant. :)

Kicked the month off with a hilly run this evening but running up those hills was a bit half-hearted. ;-) There was a bloke in the underpass on my way back who doffed his cap at me as I ran through. I think he should have had a sign saying "Underpass at the golf links, 8 p.m., come and get your fix."

How is the foot today, Daisy?

Helegant, you're making a wonderful come-back, because you were quite ill, were you not?

A double day for me today, my first double run day in a while. Cannot wait for our wander in the peaks tomorrow. Up early ish. Now to phone the older Sombreros and then off to bed.

Morning all - sorry been AWOL. So many great achievements in here lately.

I have new shoes so went for a run this monring. First time I have run a mile in months and months but managed it non stop very slowly and it felt good 😁 think I have just doubled my annual mileage 😂

Morning, that’s great MM :-)
Opened my June account with 5 miles this morning. Still under 50 minutes but not any faster but still a nice run and a photo for the treasure hunt. You can take photos of things in people’s garden more easily at 5.00am ;-)

Nice running MM and LG.

Short, early run for me today, testing out my hamstring, felt OK-ish

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.
