We're in Lanzarote, fortunately. No quarantine that I know of here.
Caught the water taxi to Puerto del Carmen, then walked a few miles along before running (topless) back to the villa (in Puerto Calero).

Sahara sand has gone, so now back to sun and >30C

Very pleased we chose here, after seeing Playa Blanca yesterday and Puerto del Carmen today.

Although wouldn't be too much of a hardship being quarantined here - I think it's bigger than our house in UK. And no lawn to mow. Or hedge to trim.

[thought um was a woman and raised an eyebrow but agreed with self that each to his/her own]

Glad your island is virus-free. Looks fabulous but would be a bit rubbish to be locked in your room, no matter how big it is!

Afternoon all. Lovely day here. Nice 5 miles done.

Joked the other day about coronavirus and Tenerife as go there every year. Not laughing now.

No cases there yet though I suspect it will spread quite quickly. Current cases in the north and one in Sicily.

I can’t believe this, where is all this rain coming from? This afternoon we’ve had rain of biblical proportions. It’s absolutely chucked it down with the odd deluge of hail stones for good measure.
I was lucky I got home from deaf club before this lot came down.

15 miles done. It felt less hard than Sunday's 10, though it was just as slow if not slower. I ran with my music on my phone and as I've not done that for ages I really appreciated the help of a bangin' choon :-)

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.
