Just let me say that I am not casting aspersions on other people’s bins. Mine are none too attractive either.

It has been a tough year.

Huge thanks to Ms Dipps for threadmothering ♥️.

Today I have eaten 2 mince pies, a chocolate santa, a mini packet of haribo and 2 mandarins. Christmas is here (6pm today in Iceland).
Time for telly and cat cuddles.

Well done photoset bunting

Forget my earlier toothachey sleep deprived grumble, something brilliant has happened ...
Came back from a lovely sunny walk round the castle and across the fields, via picking up our fish order from the fishmonger, to find a parcel....

It's the toy I ordered from Ebay a few weeks ago that Turtle asked Santa for. Out of stock in any shop (unless I want to pay £100+ for a £25 action figure) and latest delivery update said not guaranteed to arrive before 30th Dec. I've spent the last week telling turtle not to get her hopes up, Santa has had problems this year and the elves having to socially distance means children will get presents but probably not what they ask for. She has, in her lovely 6yr old way, been absolutely convinced she will have what she asked for in her letter, because Santa is magic.

Maybe he is after all?? 🎅🥰

That's really made me smile TM :-) Well done those elves ;-)

bunting for Photoset and I agree, swanky binnage there! :-)

I had a gorgeous run first thing - have a look at the photo on my training log :-) (Why do photos you put direct into your training log not go in your gallery? Is there a way to transfer them or do you always have to upload it separately?)

Btw, the 18 minute mile is because I forgot to stop my watch when taking the photos, and also taking a call from the vets while on the SWCP and nowhere near my credit card :-) (It's alright, they just need to reimburse me because the insurers have paid them for something I'd already paid for. I hadn't done a moonlight flit ;-) )

Well done photoset! That’s great TM, I’m glad it arrived just in time.

I’m glad I got my run in this morning, the wind has now got up and it’s proper taters out there (as my grandad would have said).

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.
