Cheekys Dad Oct 2020 10:15am, 2 Oct 2020 243 posts	0 Cheekys Dad Well done Som. Great news! I’m a little sore after intervals yesterday evening. Weather not great but will try to get myself out for a loosener later - I have a 41 day streak to keep going!
Sombrero Oct 2020 10:21am, 2 Oct 2020 11,476 posts	0 Sombrero Morning gonks. Terrible night's sleep. Brain completely woooop and waheeey. I'm being interviewed via Zoom for a printmaking documentary later, by a lady in the US. 4pm our time, 9am their time. Oh and because it seems to have made people smile, here's my latest lino print. I may run later, legs have recovered well from Wednesday's marathon....
LindsD Oct 2020 10:21am, 2 Oct 2020 41,233 posts	0 LindsD weather is awful. Ran back from the garage. Had just made coffee when they called to come and get the car. I'm going to leave it a while.
Turtlemama Oct 2020 10:48am, 2 Oct 2020 1,152 posts	0 Turtlemama Morning. No news from Dad today as yet. Weather miserable too but as today is the only day for the foreseeable that I can't do anything practical for mum or dad, I'll go for a run this afternoon. Som, your news is great and the little hedgehog is adorable!
Sombrero Oct 2020 10:51am, 2 Oct 2020 11,477 posts	0 Sombrero Thank you TM. The run will help, I'm sure. I'm going to do a lunchtime pootle myself.
TeeBee Oct 2020 11:11am, 2 Oct 2020 6,765 posts	0 TeeBee Som I need to buy a copy that print!!!! My dad is crazy about hedgehogs. Can you give me a link from where I can buy it please
Mandymoo Oct 2020 11:16am, 2 Oct 2020 10,234 posts	0 Mandymoo I 💓 the hedgehog too
CStar Oct 2020 11:40am, 2 Oct 2020 7,906 posts	0 CStar Hedgehog is fab. Sounds like you and Sal are having a blast. So much going on in here and I've only been away for a couple of days! to 700-bin-ers. Huge ((())) for TM. My Dad had to go to the Dr yesterday with Atrial Fibrillation which we are a bit concerned about, but they didn't rush him off to hospital, so we are taking that as a good sign. It's difficult that they are all getting to this age, but I realise how lucky I am still to have both of them and largely fit, sharp, healthy and active. DOMS after Sunday's triathlon turned into a weird sciatica/ sore hip joint thing on Weds night. Not v nice, but cured by a good walk and a steady cycle on Zwift yesterday. 3 days sitting in front of the computer earlier in the week clearly was bad for me. As V'rap says, definitely a case of the sitting disease.

Sombrero Oct 2020 12:18pm, 2 Oct 2020 11,478 posts	0 Sombrero TeeBee, etsy.com - he's called Hawthorn Ouch CStar. I'm wondering about what my next challenge should be, having survived a marathon.....

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.
