Mornage swamp rabbits.

Alternating sun & dark gloomy clouds in the NF today ...
My shortfall for that (not necessary) 700 is now below 50 miles, slowly reeling it in.

Got held up today, no traffic lights, but a steady stream (40 - 60 ish ??) crossing at the top of a hill. Some sprinted, some stopped to look down at us and saunter past.





But if you're fed up with deer, there's other stuff out there, eg an outcome of the mixed sun & clouds


And automnal visitors in the forest - so far all friendly, but a few FB 'moans' about aggressive pigs. Although I suspect they were exuberantly friendly & inquisitive. All the ones I've seen this year have been totally focussed on rummaging for food.

Cute piggies. :)

My auntie was an 11/11 baby too, she died earlier this year but I never met her. I think she was born in 1931 and she had dementia the last few years. She lived in New Zealand.

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.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
