PH, if you went out and retraced your steps on a bike, I think that could be called an essential journey.

Go for another run on the same route. Definitely essential.

Not sure my legs would appreciate another 10 miles.

I may go up the road a bit later to a likely spot. Only about 2km round trip.

Lol sorry but the thought of you doing 20 to find your keys is quite funny!
I did 4, bloody hot outside! Horrible dog encounter, I was convinced I’d get bitten. Think I am going to complain to the council because they still haven’t shut the car park and these dog owners must have driven there since they had no leads for their 3 gigantic dogs. There’s a dual carriageway next door so they certainly didn’t cross that without dogs being on leads.

I went for some outside time at lunch, walked about a mile and a half. I might be naughty and go for a run later. Trying to work out whether a visit to the hospital M&S for chocolate counts as an essential journey?

Good luck Ph ...

Ran same route as last weekend - more or less, and what a difference a week makes.





Today's wildlife? An unlikely spot, a puddle in a deep tractor rut - about the only water seen today.



Felt hotter than 22C and failed to take water. So some hills may have got walked.

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.
