Per, at least you probably didn't need so many wee stops. ;-)

I don't think I'll be returning to parkrun for a while after it does restart. There's so many new runners since lockdown, they'll all be desperate to do parkrun when it restarts. That's if running in the cold and wet hasn't cured their new addiction.

Bint's last check-in was at 20:47 at Wrotham having been on her feet 15:07:31

Dave's was at Holly Hill at 20:28 after moving for almost 15 hours

Both listed as still running.

Which mans Dave has 4 checkpoints to do before the finish, Bint has 5. They both have to get over the Medway (there's a bridge) and then the really hilly bits start. Not massive hills but really up and down with very rarely anything just level to run on.

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.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
