Two runs (yesterday & today) in a wet and cold (and icy) NF.
Lots of pics, but 2 best sights - yesterday, a fox trotting down the path in front of us. Too far away & too quick for a pic. Very rarely see foxes in NF - although quite common in the fields from home.
Second sight was today - a few minutes after the gritter (really a salter, not a gritter) had been down the road (yes, that cold at 2pm), the ponies were all over the road licking the salt.
Made for a slow drive home.

Sorry MrsJ, I felt kind of reverse homesick after some NSW pics this morning, getting lush again after 155mm rain. I had to guess where they were taken :-)

Cracking day here, think I’m sunburned. Now looking forward to how the 700s racers fared. It’s still very soggy under foot!

Yumee
Hello Ravers :-)
Aww, wish I'd had access to here over the last 2 days, you would have kept my spirits up. Had a mare of a day yesterday with dreadful nausea and stomach cramps, couldn't eat so bonked. 47 miles done in total, a fair way short of where I wanted to be, but not a bad total when I try to take a step back, and in fact the furthest I've ever run. So lucky with the weather, though was absolutely baltic!
Tiny bit tired now.

That is incredible, Yummy and something to be proud of, especially considering you couldn't eat.

That's amazing, Yumee. Well done. I did 4 miles and then a similar walk. On my way to the airport now.

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.
