Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Ouch! That looks painful.

Some things to say about today's run:

1. I have never seen so many people in the park as I did today. Most of them appeared to be walking 4 or 5 abreast on the paths, in both directions, and it was very difficult to get past them. I was a bit peeved that even though a large majority of them were wearing big wellies they appeared reluctant to step onto the muddy grass. I might have accidentally splashed a couple when I had no choice but to run through the puddles. Oops.

However, the fact that there were so many people arounds and I had to slow down was good because:

2. it appears I didn't leave it long enough after brunch, and smoked salmon is not a nice thing to make a reappearance, so I had to slow down even more; and

3. my head was in a good place, and my heart was very happy, but my legs have ALL the tired in them. All of it, from about the past 2 months I think, and they refused to run up any slopes or across roads or, sometimes, anywhere at all. Poor legs :-)

Well, I wasn't expecting that!
By that, I mean blues skies and only moderately chilly wind. Only 2 or 3C, so not a day to be hanging about, but Bella seemed to have taken a rest.

First of, the surprisingly blue skies


Then, just over 2 miles in, a need to watch out for a bin. These are optional shots of a bin, the first I saw after the 700. Pheasant bins rather than rubbish bins. Although the first may be mixed use.




Not all blue skies though. A fair bit of mud and hills, but nothing like photoset, thankfully
This puddle is definitely a 'round it' .. a lot of cow shed output gets washed down into it, so only a small percentage is water & mud.



But when I got home, I sorted another bin, which is very descriptive of the last week ...

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.
