Try to practice on trails a few times as they are different. You have to keep an eye out for tree roots and rocks and things that can trip you up but far more fun than road racing. I am at Heathrow T5 sitting opposite Colin Montgomerie the golfer.

Wifey still running though. I'll pop in now and again while I'm on this everlasting bench. Hope you're all OK or OKish.

Footpad Apr 2014 9:36am, 2 Apr 2014 5,730 posts	Quote Pin Footpad LindsD: Beaconsfield 5 is a lovely run around the Hall Barn estate grounds. Last year it was mostly on well packed paths.... with all the recent rain it may be a little muddier this year. There was a hill (which I walked up) but otherwise it was fine. Just ad 30-45 secs per mile onto your normal race pace and enjoy it!

Welcome to the 700 miles in 2014 thread. Here is the groups link: http://www.fetcheveryone.com/groups-view.php?id=1147

All you have to do is run about 1.92 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 of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.
