Cracking photos um. I had two deers run out in front of me during a half marathon last year. You get quite a fright don’t you. Would loved to have a pic like yours of the moment.

Glad you had a pain free run LG.

A decent 8.50 miles for me. Got a nice toot & shout from a run chum that cancelled out the arsehole driver that beeped at me for running on road. I was avoiding another runner & walkers. No other cars coming. Not surprised it was a BMW driver!

Gosh how wonderful Um! I'll sit and have a look at that YouTube clip later, it looks interesting, thank you Peregrinator. Hugs to Paula xx

My only wildlife photo today was of a Roman snail, which we get on the limestone here. Needless to say it didn't move quite as fast as the deer :-) This week on our club FB page we're doing a thing about the 5 ways to wellbeing, one of which is to learn, so when I got home I looked up some facts about Roman snails. Apparently they can live for up to 20 years, but they rarely migrate much further than about 6 metres. Now if you think we're a bit limited in our travel at the moment, just be glad you're not a Roman snail :-0

Afternoon everyone, took a rest from the internet for a few days so only just caught up on the bits and pieces in here with over 250 posts.
It’s been pretty crappy for quite a few so big hugs from me to those who need them - take care ❤️

Those of you that take your phones with you on your runs, how do you carry them? I’ve yet to find a satisfactory method.

The rear zip pockets on my shorts are too small, arm bands are to big and clumsy, waist bags move and bounce. It seems to me that a running top with rear pockets like cycling jerseys would be a good idea.

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.
