Virtual races just don't do it for me :(

I quite like the medals, but running around here just really winds me up at the moment. Too much running on rutted verges.

Fetchpoint's keeping me going at the moment, and that arbitrary mileage target. ;-) I cba with all the virtual stuff and Project Joker is a bit pointless to me with no parkrunning at the moment. It'll get worse next week for a couple of weeks as I'll be giving blood and that always buggers me up for a couple of weeks.

Hey-ho, we're still getting out there though, and it's nice to stop and smell the roses and look at the scenery along the way. :)

AR I agree :-)
I’ve been getting muddled and stressed at work and life sounds like that was a better choice than going thread wandering this morning. ((NSC heart))

I’m not doing races for medals but am doing the fetch ones just to test my times.

:-) well run LG
I’ve missed a day, not sure how - I remembered to check the cruise ships on Wednesday, 4 anchored, then 10 minutes later Azura was AWOL, pissing off over the horizon. Can’t keep them in order, she’s probably back now.



Thank you Som, that’s a cracking photo looking down over the Derwent valley, I used to house/in-law/dogs sit just left of the picture, under Froggatt edge. Happy days. Dorset is lovely, but Derbyshire/Yorkshire are just the best.

We wimped out of cycling west down the coast to collect mr’s meat order today & took the car instead, just as well as the wet headwind weather arrived on schedule. Had a beautiful wander along the coast there for a change, just a wet half mile to the car to finish.

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.
