Hello all and apologies I have missed 129 posts!!! I did see the fab photo though

Have been for a lovely walk along the canal path today with the grandkids - very slow but lovely and thanks to Frag and her giraffe photos, madame go there. No giraffes for us but lots of other animals

Hurrah for meet-ups. Um that looks proper muddy. Hope Fleecy’s achilles settles, and Dipps foot pipes down and the C25K keeps going.
Spent today at a DofE conference -ironic that it resulted in the lowest step count in a day I’ve had for months 🤣

I'm in position #54 in the 700 run league, but I'm top of the walkers and 10th in cycling on the relevant distance leaderboards.
I can't recall ever being top of a leaderboard for something activity related :)

Evening :)
Hi Dave - do stay!

Toks - all your miles must have been marathons :)

I'm a little tired, walk-run-walking 25 miles of low mileage an no long runs is not to be recommended, but it was muddy fun.

One of the ladies I was talking to is looking at Mytvan (sp) marathon for 2021, she was going to do it this year with her daughter, but daughter has just had a baby (I think that's what she said) She was looking at doing it as part of an organised tour - sounded great, can't remember the company she mentioned though, sorry.

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.
