Went to Asda and it seemed a bit calmer which helped lift my mood a bit but the streets were quite busy with walkers. Will put away the shopping and head out to the industrial estate

Happy running, LG. I’m about to walk mrf & I think it’s a gale out there gusting up to 45mph - no way could the washing go out, shame. I used to know the Beaufort scale :-) but may even have the name wrong these days. Whatevs. I’m looking forward to waves, but Sadler no kitesurfers

Haven’t run since Wednesday and struggling to find my mojo. That wind doesn’t help - hate wind. Perhaps it will drop a bit later ....

Went out for a run in capris and T-shirt. It started raining within 30 secs and was much colder than I’d expected so I backtracked and changed into a long sleeved top and found my gloves. 10 mins later it was lovely and sunny; 15 mins after than I was being hailed on, and it was really windy. I managed 7 miles before calling it a day.

Well done Paula. I’ve thrown any running goals out the window. Oh wait, I did t have any. Did a pop sugar dance video which was fun, no online classes today but I have bad DOMs so that’s probably good. I have about 15 classes to choose from next week!!

I ran 24k as for marathon plan. I wish they'd just cancel it but I'll prob keep to the plan anyway.

I also cross-trained - 3.5 hours sunce yestersay digging out a football pitch for DS11. The snow is over 1m thick in places. It was worth it to hear his happy little voice.

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.
