Nice bike ride this afternoon, I couldn't believe how many bikes were out today and lots of VE Day parties going on - well, people sat in front of their houses. I stopped at a friend's and had a tour of her garden on the way back.
um

That’s good ITG.

A general question to the PhDs here ... assuming people choose a topic that fascinates them, after 3 years research into it, are they generally more fascinated, or sick to death of it?

I chose a topic for which I could get funding, so I was sick of it most of the way through and even more sick of my supervisor :)

Run done and week 2 of C25k done! Took everybody’s advice and ran slower today. Felt very comfortable and like I could up the time I spent running. Thanks for the advice all!

Park was so busy - full on cricket matches going on and everything.

today surprisingly good fun: c9 used up the last of the chalk, the neighbours are still out there singing Vera Lynn but it’s funny rather than too stepfordish. And then I went square collecting and saw baby lambs! Just born, being licked upright but still very wobbly :-)

More fascinated, even though nearly half a century has gone by.

Morning all 👎

It’s supposed to be very hot 🥵 down here later on, so once I’ve drunk my tea ☕️, I better get out the front door & get today’s fake parkrun completed.

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.
