Lovely photos. :-)

I managed 4 miles fairly pain free but don’t think I could have done much more but a slow build up should be fine

Oh! I meant to type "ouch Carp" Sorry :-(
I think you have enough in your plate at the moment, Carp, for me to encourage physical aggression towards you!

TeeBee, it was me misreading it - I thought it was very funny.

Anyway, I was in a major stress about something that happened at work last night, so Mr Carp made me go and run 5k. I have survived and although the bruise still hurts, it isn't worse.

Well done LG :)

No running today (yet) but 3 x yoga as I’m very wobbly emotionally and I thought it might help.

Don't you get annoyed with runners on enclosed, narrow footpaths? Not respecting 2m distance at all?

By chance these two came at us, faster than we running the other way.
Just as I took pic, I was thinking 'they look more solid & have more momentum than me, I'm coming to come off second best here'
Mrs Um had already disappeared into the shrubbery.
But with that, the leader squirmed under the wire fencing and disappeared across the field, while the follower trotted nervously back looking for a bigger hole to go through.
And I was left hoping the camera had time to focus ...

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.
