Morning all!

Well done, LG - whichever way you calculate it! ;)
Hope that pesky throat improves soon, Fleecy.

Looking forward to a walk and a run-walk later when I can get away from this desk.

Well done LG! :)

I'd quite like someone to run with for a change, it might stop me from walking so much. Anyway, another 5-ish done.

Morning! Keep away from the crosspatch threads NSC, it's much nicer here :-) Congratulations LG! :-)

AR, I think you've hit my nail on the head. Went out for a run this morning, thinking it was time I had a go at the club 3k WAVA challenge. But:
1. I faffed about indoors until the local pavements were busy with kids going to school (I know!)

2. Because I'd had to take evading action for them I binned the WAVA challenge and I thought I'd just do my 5k loop.

3. Then that got too hard so I took my cop-out route off road with stiles and gates which meant, of course, that I walked.
I am no longer capable of running a non-stop mile, no matter how slowly :-( In my defence, I think the 8 miles on Wednesday are still in my legs, and not in a good way.

I know what you mean. I was thinking about doing the virtual Summer League, but the first race is 10k and I cannot see myself pushing myself for 10k on the streets full of people when I don't like where I'm running and I'm on my own. So I either don't do it, or I post a rubbish easy run time.

This may sound like a bizarre idea, but I might go for a run today

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.
