Hi all, been AWOL due to a long run of horrendous night shifts so not really keeping up. Just done a horribly hot 5.5miles and now feel very very sick (it was 26C and no shade). I couldn't go earlier since I needed sleep after nights, and I need to be mum to the turtle this afternoon. Time for a lie down in the shade I think!

Ran the same run as yesterday - well, same outbound 3 miles, slighty different return. No deer, lots of squirrels and a low flying buzzard at the start/finish. Seemed hotter than ever.
Did stay on feet.



But, probably more importantly for this thread, a slight diversion on the way home. We'd seen the pair on the way out, and found them again. No apologies for flooding the thread.






And as we carried on home, 'Mum' decided it was time for a walk

Those ears! They're nearly as big as the rest of the donkey!

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.
